activities have provided workers with chances to meet and exchange, thus
increasing their solidarity, encouraging them to make more contributions to the
growth of businesses.

lifestyle, along with a number of other activities such as dialogues and
seminars between labourers and the administration and employers, thus enhancing

Various emulation movements have been rolled out in Mai Chau district of Hoa Binh province over the past years, encouraging local farmers to promote business and production for sustainable poverty alleviation as well as restructuring of crops and livestock for better incomes. The movements have attracted enthusiastic response from members of the district farmers’ union, particularly ethnic people.
Senior women in rural and ethnic minority areas are considered an abundant labour workforce, as people in the working age have often worked far away from home in recent years. Therefore, many units, departments, sectors and cooperatives in Hoa Binh have worked with enterprises inside and outside the province to generate jobs for the local women.
The northern province of Hoa Binh has over 74% of its population belonging to ethnic minority groups, who mainly reside in remote, far-flung, and disadvantaged areas. Therefore, the implementation of Project 2 on planning, arranging, and settling residential areas under the National Target Programme for Socio-Economic Development in Ethnic Minority and Mountainous Areas is important in building a better living environment for locals.
The World Environment Day (June 5), launched by the UN Environment Programme, has been celebrated in Vietnam since 1982 and become a nationwide movement, helping raise public awareness of environmental protection, biodiversity conservation, sustainable development, and climate change response.

All-level Party Committees and administrations in Hoa Binh province continue to view improving awareness, restoring land, and fighting drought and desertification as an indispensable part of the socio-economic development plan and an important task during the sustainable development process.
