(HBO) – Upgrading community and cultural houses in hamlets and villages is one of the tasks implemented by Da Bac district's authorities in the national target programme for socio-economic development in ethnic minority and mountainous areas in 2022.
The cultural house in Na Loc village, Dong Chum commune (Da Bac district) has deteriorated, unable to meet the organisation of community activities.
With about 90 percent of the population being ethnic minorities, Da Bac is a mountainous district with many difficulties. In recent years, apart from investing in essential infrastructure development, the district authorities have concentrated on building and upgrading cultural facilities.
According to a report of the district People's Committee, as many as 12 villages and hamlets in the district do not have communal houses. Meanwhile, only three out of 16 communes have commune-level culture houses, including Hien Luong, Toan Son and Tu Ly.
Only four out of 16 communes have met criteria No. 6 on cultural facilities in new-style rural area building. According to the district’s Department of Ethnic Minority Affairs, under the national target programme for socio-economic development in ethnic minority and mountainous areas in 2022, the district has provided support in housing, water supply and infrastructure facilities for a number of disadvantaged communes, villages and hamlets.
The programme has also funded the upgrade of 10 community and cultural houses in villages and hamlets of Tien Phong, Muong Chieng, Trung Thanh and Hien Luong communes with a total investment of 2 billion VND (about 81,600 USD)./.
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.
