On the basis of guidelines and instructions of the district People’s Committee, the district steering board for national target programmes has mapped out poverty reduction plans with concrete targets and solutions.
It has also issued documents guiding communal People’s Committees and supervision boards how to implement and manage relevant programmes, projects and policies.
Members of the steering boards have been dispatched to localities to help them with the work.
Thanks to the programme, pressing issues regarding housing, land, health care and education for poor and near-poor households have been settled in a timely manner. Local poor people have accessed medical services and have higher income and better living standards. New infrastructure facilities have given a facelift to rural areas, facilitating locals’ travel and production.
The rate of poor households in Lac Son dropped from 38.5 percent in 2016 to 15.15 percent in 2019, with an annual decline of 5.8 percent. The figure in communes in special difficulties stood at 20.05 percent in early 2020, down 24.55 percent as compared with early 2016./.
