(HBO) – A delegation comprising officials of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Committee, the Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, the Women’s Union, the Farmers’ Union and the Federation of Labour of Hoa Binh province on June 11 examined the provision of aid for people facing difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in Yen Thuy district.
Support for the pandemic-hit people was provided under the
Government’s Resolution 42/NQ-CP issued on April 9 and the Prime Minister’s
Decision 15/2020/QD-TTg on April 24.
Following the plan of the provincial People’s
Committee, from May 2 to 8, the Yen Thuy division for labour, invalids and
social affairs coordinated with the district’s post office to give financial
aid totaling over 10.38 billion VND (445,700 USD) to 11,033 locals. They
included 812 revolutionary contributors, 1,994 welfare beneficiaries, 3,203
members of poor households, and 5,024 others from near-poor families.
The local VFF committee and relevant organisations
monitored the entire process, from making lists of recipients to providing aid.
The district’s authorities haven’t recorded any complaints from locals so far.
However, the inspection delegation still found
out some eligible cases left unpaid or some getting support more than once.
Relevant agencies immediately took actions to correct their mistakes.
At the inspection session, the Lac Thuy
administration proposed the provincial People’s Committee provide funding to
cover the money the district has advanced to pay beneficiaries. It also asked
for detailed guidance in defining which labourers without contracts are eligible
for support.
Leaders
of the provincial VFF Committee and the delegation asked local authorities to
press on with communications to help the public understand more about the
support policy and its targeted beneficiaries. They also requested strong
coordination among the local VFF committee, organisations and relevant agencies
in monitoring the policy implementation.
Administrative reform has been identified as a key priority in enhancing state governance, improving the business environment, and facilitating services for citizens and enterprises.

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.

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.
