resources to implement the programme effectively. They donated working days,
land, goods and cash worth over 366 billion VND.
The provincial People’s Committee has issued specific plans
to carry out the drive, along with a number of mechanisms and policies to
attract and mobilise investment for communes to complete targets of building
new rural areas.
Localities in the province have mobilised over 48.2 billion
VND from other programmes and projects to implement 200 production development
models. Many have built plans to develop small-and medium-sized production models

locals. As a result, in 2019, the per capita income in rural areas increased to
about 32 million VND. The rate of poor households was reduced to 11.36 percent.
As a result, 103 out of the total 191 communes have met the criterion on the
household poverty rate, up 14 communes from 2018./.
