(HBO) – Da Bac district, spanning 77,976 hectares of land, has 20 communes and town covered by Programme 135 – programme for socio-economic development in specially-disadvantaged communes in ethnic minority and mountainous areas.
Thanks to investment from Programme 135, roads in Sung
hamlet (Cao Son commune) were concretised, helping the hamlet develop
community-based tourism.
Vice Chairwoman of the district People’s Committee Bui Thi Hieu said the
district has made poverty alleviation a key mission, which is inseparable from
the local socio-economic development strategy.
The spirit of self-reliance should be promoted among impoverished households so
as to realise the sustainable poverty reduction target, she added.
In the past time, the national target programme on sustainable poverty
reduction has served as a lever for the district’s socio-economic development.
Programme 30A, which is designed to support 64 poorest district across the
country to rapidly reduce poverty through investment in essential
infrastructure system, has given a facelift to Da Bac district. New infrastructure
facilities have been built and existing ones repaired and upgraded; poverty
alleviation models have been set up to improve and diversify local livelihoods.
Under the programme, many labourers from poor, near poor and ethnic families
have chances to work abroad.
Particularly, Programme 135 helped the district build 33 public works, maintain
52 others, support 28 production models, and open training class to transfer
science and technology in 2018.
This year, Da Bac district received 20.48 billion VND from the programme to
upgrade and build local infrastructure.
Along with the programmes, the district People’s Committee has pushed forward
with the preferential credit policy for households living under and just above
the poverty line, and those who have just escaped poverty.
The sustainable poverty reduction programmes have promoted socio-economy in Da
Bac district, resulting in the fall in the poverty and unemployment rates.
Last year, poor households accounted for 37.04 percent of the district’s total
families. The rate is projected to drop to 32 percent in 2019./.
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.
In recent years, Da Bac district has improved administrative reform with a one-stop shop mechanism, streamlined inter-agency procedures, and a shift to digital platforms. These efforts have enhanced public service efficiency and contributed to local socio-economic development.
