(HBO) – Hoa Binh province has carried out many governmental support policies for the poor in an effective, timely manner to foster sustainable poverty reduction. These policies have contributed to developing local production, improving people’s income, particularly the poor and people from ethnic minority groups.
People in the mountainous
commune of Quyet Chien, Tan Lac district have access to clean water from a
project funded by Programme 135.
The total fund
for the implementation of the national target programme for sustainable poverty
reduction in Hoa Binh exceeds 1.185 trillion VND from 2016 – 2020.
Over 3.1 trillion
VND has been provided in soft
loans for the poor and near-poor households; people going to work abroad as
guest workers; and those in disadvantaged areas; or to develop household
businesses, forest farming and husbandry; construct clean water supply and
rural environmental sanitation projects; and create jobs.
Over the last
five years, all poor and near-poor households, ethnic minority people living in
disadvantaged and extremely disadvantaged areas have been covered with free
health insurance while students from extremely disadvantaged villages and
communes have received financial aid to cover tuition fees and expenditure.
Thanks to such
effort, the province’s poverty rate fell by 3.09 percent annually in average
from 2016 – 2020. At the same time, average income of the poor and near-poor
households increased from 44.58 million VND per year in 2016 to 55.1 million
VND per year in 2019.
Over 80 percent
of the communal main roads have been concreted; 80 percent of commune-based
medical stations now have sufficient facilities to delivery healthcare services
covered by health insurance and 75 percent of local households have access to
clean water./.
