Having implemented a project on developing the agro-forestry sector and capitalising on the locality’s potential and strengths to produce goods in value chain, Kim Boi district of Hoa Binh province has generated jobs for local residents, helping them to create sustainable livelihoods.
Acacia seedlings are provided for local farmers.
Kim Lap, a remote commune with more than 90% of its population being ethnic minority people, built a cross-bred cow farming project worth over 400 million VND (15,700 USD), providing calves and technical training for 48 poor and near-poor households. Thanks to the model, many locals have escaped poverty.
Striving to become a new-style rural commune in 2024, Thach Yen has integrated various resources to help its residents improve incomes. During 2022-2023, it joined hands with competent divisions of the district to support job transition for rural youths, development of pig farming for impoverished households, and acacia seedlings for those in difficulties.
Vice Chairman of the communal People’s Committee Bui Van Hau said local ethnic minority people have also received assistance in economic management and introduction of products to the market.
According to Nguyen Van Tien, an official from the province’s board for ethnic minority affairs, Hoa Binh is carrying out various projects to create sustainable livelihoods for its residents. As of April, more than 94.14 billion VND was disbursed for them, or 44.55% of the allocated capital.
With the money, the board has worked closely with relevant sides to improve the efficiency of the local production, prioritising support for agricultural cooperatives to apply advanced technologies and promote value chain.
To date, localities have successfully developed over 30 cooperative brands such as Mai Chau purple garlic, Pa Co – Hang Kia black chicken, Muong Dong bamboo-tube rice, and Son Thuy longan. Production linkages have been maintained, bringing high revenue to firms and cooperatives, he said.
Aside from engaging in agricultural sector, there still some non-agricultural occupations that are suitable for women, especially ethnic minority women in rural areas. Based on the demand of learners, agencies and units in Yen Thuy district have implemented vocational training programmes that associate with employment opportunities and meet demand of labour market.
Over recent years, the People's Committee of Lac Son district has implemented various policies to support vocational training in traditional industry cooperatives, especially in ethnic minority areas. As a result, many households have get rid of poverty. Vocational training and startup support projects have also helped create numerous new jobs, increase income for workers, improve living conditions, and create conditions for sustainable development in the ethnic minority areas of the district.
A collective labour agreement (CLA) is a negotiated document between employees and employers that outlines agreed-upon working conditions, achieved through collective bargaining. CLA is considered a key solution to minimising and resolving conflicts within businesses, fostering harmonious, stable, and progressive labour relations, which in turn help businesses thrive and ensure stable, higher incomes for workers.
With a determination to start the construction of the Hoa Binh-Moc Chau expressway’s section crossing Hoa Binh before September 2, the Party Committees and administrations at all levels of Da Bac district have focused on site clearance to hand over the clean site to the project as scheduled.
Hoa Binh province’s public administrative service centre has implemented the "people and business-centred administration” model since 2018. It has been equipped with modern equipment, including an automatic ticketing system, surveillance cameras, computers, scanners, and software so that administrative procedures have been settled and results returned in a timely manner.
Over the years, Lac Thuy district has paid great attention to personnel development by employing many people from ethnic minority groups to work as public servants and creating optimal conditions for intellectuals to promote their talents.
