(HBO) – The life in Hoa Binh province's rural areas has changed dramatically with breakthroughs in socio-economic development. Rural residents have got access to the market, science - technology and services to boost production and business activities.
(HBO) - National target programmes in the 2016-2020 period,
including the national target programme on new-style rural area building, have
created motivation for rural development, contributing to completing
socio-economic infrastructure in rural areas towards synchronic direction, and
strengthening their connectivity with urban areas.
A school in Hang Kia commune of Mau Chau district has been developed to meet
teaching and studying requirements of teachers and students.
In 2020, total resources for the implementation of the national target
programme on new-style rural area building was over 3.85 trillion VND (167.23
million USD), including 1.44 trillion VND sourced from the state budget, over
122 billion VND mobilised from businesses and economic organisations, and
298.96 billion VND from the society.
Localities have also given considerable resources for rural infrastructure
development. From resources for new-style rural development and other
resources, 184 rural roads have been built and upgraded.
Besides, localities across the province have constructed and upgraded 59
inner-field irrigation works. So far, 123 out of the province's 131 communes
have completed the criteria in irrigation for a new-style rural area.
At the same time, power networks in rural areas have basically met
socio-economic development requirements of localities, helping to improve the
face of rural areas. So far, 100 percent of rural households have accessed stable
and safe power supplies, while all the 131 communes have reached criteria in
electric supply.
Last year, 62 public works were built with public investment capital.
Currently, 187 out of 319 schools across the province have been equipped with
teaching equipment meeting national standards, while 69 communes have completed
the criteria in terms of school.
Alongside, cultural infrastructure systems have received adequate investment
from public capital and other sources, with 293 works built, helping 76 communes
to complete new-style rural area criteria in the field.
Meanwhile, the development of necessary infrastructure systems has helped
locals promote their economic development and increased their access to social
services to improve their living conditions.
By the end of 2020, per capita income of rural residents in Hoa Binh reached
34.5 million VND per year, while the rate of poor households has reduced 3
percent each year averagely, and even 4-5 percent in poor communes. Currently,

communes have completed criteria in poverty reduction. Twelve communes of Hoa
Binh have been recognised as advanced new-style rural areas, while 58 out of
131 communes have completed all 19 criteria of new-style rural areas./.

As women's participation in key leadership positions of Hoa Binh province is still modest while some women in rural and mountainous areas or from ethnic minorities face limited access to policies, the provincial Party Committee's Organisation Board has advised the provincial Party Committee's Standing Board to direct Party committees at all levels and localities to pay more attention to training female personnel and creating favourable conditions for women to take over leadership and management roles, thus addressing a shortage in the number of female cadres.
