A delegation from the Fund for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control and the Hero of the People’s Armed Forces Phan Trong Binh Social Work Fund on April 22 had a working session with leaders of Hoa Binh province.
The delegation included Phan Dien, Honorary
President of the Fund for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control; and Cao Duc
Phat, former Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chairman of the
Management Board of the Fund for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control.
They were received by Nguyen Phi Long, alternate
member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the provincial Party
Committee; and Dinh Cong Su, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s
Committee.
Nguyen Phi Long, alternate member of the Party
Central Committee and Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, speaks at
the working session.
Since its inception 15 years ago, the Fund for
Natural Disaster Prevention and Control has implemented many programmes and
projects to help people nationwide improve their disaster resilience and ease
losses caused by natural disasters.
It has mobilised more than 609 billion VND
(24.04 million USD) so far, and supported 55 cities and provinces across the
country with 122 disaster prevention facilities. In Hoa Binh, the fund has
carried out multiple activities with a total funding of 8.3 billion VND.
At the working session, Hoa Binh suggested the
fund continue its support for the locality in disaster prevention and control,
especially its areas prone to floods and landslides, and further fund
infrastructure construction there.
In reply, Dien promised that the fund will
continue mobilising resources to help Hoa Binh raise its disaster resilience
and ease damage and risks of natural disasters in the province.
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.
