135, bringing in positive results such as reducing the rate of poor and near
poor households, providing power and building roads for difficult villages, and
developing production to meet locals’ demand.
Particularly, the poverty rate has been cut 3.6 percent per year on average,
forecast to stand at 8.56 percent by the end of this year./.
