Local officials reported that in 2023, Hoa Binh

So far, the province has basically adhered to
central agencies’ regulations and guidance documents while applying a creative

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.
