In 2013, the province ranked 36 villages as the poorest with high rate of poverty, poor infrastructure, and low income of local residents. On January 20, 2014, the provincial People’s Committee issued Decision No.73/QD-UBND, approving a project on supporting those localities with total investment of 133.9 billion VND. The project is designed to improve local infrastructure, develop production to raise locals’ income, and preserve traditional cultural values.

 

 After five years implementing the projects, the rate of poor and near-poor households in those villages fell by an average 5 percent per year, from 41 percent in 2014 to 31 percent in 2018. Roads and electricity facilities have been built in most of the villages. 

All capital allocated to production development has been disbursed.

 Thanks to the project, Mai Hoang Son village in Mai Chau district’s Mai Hich commune, and Dau Khu village in Hoa Binh city’s Thong Nhat commune have escaped from poverty and been excluded from the list of poorest villages in the province.

However, due to capital shortage, several targets of the project have not been realised, with more than 60 percent of planned infrastructure items not receiving investment yet. Some villages have not received investment for building automobile-accessible roads and clean water facilities. There is a lack of standard schools, cultural houses and irrigational systems, while the existing facilities are degrading. In addition, although many production models have shown efficiency, they have failed to produce pervasive effects. Particularly, many villages have been hard hit by landslide and flooding in the past two years, including So hamlet in Trung Thanh commune and Nhap village in Da Bac district’s Dong Ruong commune, with most essential infrastructure and production models destroyed./.
