(HBO) - The northern mountainous province of Hoa Binh has organised a meeting to review the 10-year implementation of the national target programme on new-style rural area building during the 2010-2020 period.

After ten years of implementing the programme, rural areas in Hoa Binh have
been given a facelift across spheres, from politics to socio-economic
development and environmental protection. Locals’ living standards have been
improved significantly. Annual per capita income in rural areas is estimated at
32 million VND in 2019, and the rate of poor households is expected to drop to
about 14.28 percent. Hoa Binh province has also paid attention to
socio-economic infrastructure construction in these areas.
By September 2019, 82 out of 191 communes (42.9 percent) in the province had
been recognised as new-style rural areas. Each commune fulfilled about 15.01
criteria on average and there are no communes completing less than 10 criteria.
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc recognised Hoa Binh city’s fulfillment of its new-style
rural area building duty in 2018. Meanwhile, Luong Son district is completing a
dossier for the PM’s recognition in 2019.
During the 2009-2019 period, the province mobilised 21.21 trillion VND for the
programme, of which 6.3 percent was sourced from the central budget. The
locality has built and upgraded more than 4,000 km of rural roads, nearly 800
km of canals, more than 500 school facilities, over 700 cultural works, nearly
80 rural markets and 80 communal medical centres, with investment totaling 52.7
trillion VND, of which 14 percent came from the State treasury.
On this occasion, the provincial Confederation of Labour presented 1,100 tonnes
of cement to Hoa Binh city and 10 districts to support their new-style rural
area building. /.
Administrative reform has been identified as a key priority in enhancing state governance, improving the business environment, and facilitating services for citizens and enterprises.
The Standing Board of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee met on March 18 to review and guide major investment projects aimed at boosting local socio-economic development.
The air is thick with the hum of drills and the clatter of machinery as the Hoa Binh – Moc Chau expressway takes shape amid the rugged terrain. Welding sparks illuminate the faces of workers, and concrete mixers churn relentlessly, laying fresh pavement on the newly-carved road. The construction site buzzes with a palpable sense of urgency, particularly in Hoa Binh province where the expressway's future is being forged.
The northern province of Hoa Binh, with over 467,000 hectares of natural forest and more than 100,000 hectares of production forest, holds significant potential for carbon credit market development.
Replacing substandard houses with more sturdy ones by June 30 is the direction given by Nguyen Phi Long, alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee, at a meeting held in early March by the provincial Steering Committee for the programme to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses for the needy.
Recognising digital transformation as an inevitable trend, authorities and agencies in Hoa Binh have made great efforts in the work by focusing on three core pillars - digital government, digital society, and digital economy, resulting in enhanced competitiveness, improved investment climate, and ensured economic and social welfare.
