The Hoa Binh People's Committee on January 8 issued Plan No. 02/KH-UBND outlining the local implementation of the national target programme for new-style rural development for 2024.

Thanks to resources mobilised, roads of Tan Tien hamlet in Dong
Tam commune, Lac Thuy district, have been concretised and expanded.
The plan sets forth ambitious objectives, aiming to achieve
the recognition of six, two, and one additional communes meeting the normal,
advanced, and model standards for new-style rural building, respectively. The
average new-style rural criteria are set at 16.3 criteria per commune.
Additionally, the plan calls for the standardisation of over
16 One Commune, One Product (OCOP) items, each achieving a rating of three
stars or above. Emphasis will also be placed on completing essential
infrastructure projects, meeting the production and living requirements of
rural residents for transport, irrigation, electricity, domestic water supply,
schools, and health care. Other targets are to improve the quality of life for
rural inhabitants and establish multiple production models linked to stable
employment for the locals.
The total capital to be mobilised for the programme
implementation this year exceeds 2.9 trillion VND (118.51 million USD). The sum
includes 161.706 trillion VND sourced from the central budget, 214.445 trillion
VND from provincial and district budgets, and 2 trillion VND worth of credit
capital.
The provincial People's Committee has outlined 11 key tasks
and solutions to ensure the effective and quality execution of the programme.
Regarding Task Number 11, which focuses on diversifying and efficiently
utilising resources, the body has directed localities to proactively allocate a
portion of their resources from local budgets to support new-style rural
development efforts, with appropriate mechanisms devised to mobilise diverse
funding sources beyond the state budget.
