MoLISA Deputy
Minister Le Van Thanh talks about issues needing attention during the
implementation of the national target programme on sustainable poverty
reduction.
Local officials reported that in 2023, Hoa Binh
has accelerated implementing the tasks identified by the Prime Minister and the
central steering committee for the national target programmes in the 2021 -
2025 period.
So far, the province has basically adhered to
central agencies’ regulations and guidance documents while applying a creative
and suitable approach to the programme implementation.
Of the over 447.2 billion VND (nearly 18.4
million USD) in total capital for this programme during 2021 - 2023, the
funding for 2023 is 326.67 billion VND. Hoa Binh had disbursed more than 184.3
billion VND as of mid-December, lower than the nationwide average.
The household poverty rate in the province has
been brought down by 3.09% to 9.2% as of late 2023, equivalent to 123.6% of the
target. In particular, the rate in Da Bac district has fallen 9.17% to 25.77%,
representing 146.72% of the target.
Projects, sub-projects, and activities of the
programme have been carried out actively, officials added.
At a working session the same day,
representatives of district-level People’s Committees informed participants of
the results as well as problems and difficulties facing their localities during
the implementation of the national target programme on sustainable poverty
reduction.
Deputy Minister Thanh recognised Hoa Binh’s
efforts in carrying out the programme, especially in surpassing the household
poverty reduction target.
He asked it to speed up capital disbursement for
the sub-projects with a low disbursement rate, adding that the supervisory
delegation will submit the province’s proposals to the Government and the
National Assembly.
On behalf of the local leaders, Vice Chairman of
the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Toan said that for the completed
facilities and projects, Hoa Binh will quickly finish payment dossiers to
ensure the disbursement progress.
Conclusions made by the supervisory delegation
will be reported to the chairperson of the provincial People’s Committee, he
noted, adding that the local steering board will convene a meeting in the time ahead
to assign tasks to related agencies and address obstacles to the programme
implementation.
Also on December 18, the MoLISA delegation
inspected the programme implementation in Da Bac district, some livelihood
models in Mit hamlet of Tan Minh commune, the upgrade and repair of Provincial
Road DH34 from Tan Minh to Yen Hoa commune, and the bridge and road leading to
Tan Minh semi-boarding junior high school for ethnic minority students.
More than just an information technology teacher, Bui Van Nien is an inspiring figure who has nurtured the scientific curiosity and creative spirit of students in Vietnam’s ethnic minority communities.
Da Bac is the most disadvantaged mountainous district in Hoa Binh province, with ethnic minorities accounting for about 90% of its population. Over the past years, the district has mobilised resources to implement ethnic policies to improve the quality of life of local people.
In recent years, Hoa Binh province has consistently prioritised the protection, care, and education of children, particularly those from ethnic minorities and disadvantaged backgrounds, by creating a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment for their all-round development.
The Steering Committee for Tobacco Harm Prevention and Control of Hoa Binh province, in coordination with the Tobacco Harm Prevention and Control Fund, held a ceremony on May 28 in response to the World No Tobacco Day (May 31) and the National No Tobacco Week (from May 25 to 31). The event was chaired by Nguyen Van Toan, Standing Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee and head of the Steering Committee.
Since 2021, the Center for Industrial Promotion and Industrial Development Consulting (CIIDC) under the Department of Industry and Trade has been implementing a school lighting model as part of the plan for using energy efficiently and economically in Hoa Binh Province in the pẻiod of 2021 - 2025. This model not only aims to improve the learning conditions and enhance the education quality, but it also promotes the message of energy saving, energy security, environmental protection and contributes to the goals of socio-economic development.
In the 2024 - 2025 school year, the entire Hoa Binh provincial education sector includes 520 educational institutions and schools. Among them are 13 ethnic boarding schools with 153 classes and 4,487 students. Four of these schools have met national standards, reaching 30.7 percent.
