sustainable poverty reduction, and ensuring social security in the locality.
He thanked the Irish government for its assistance

livelihoods and incomes for residents in disadvantaged and remote areas.
For her part, Rabbitte congratulated Hoa Binh on its
achievements in implementing poverty reduction programmes and projects in
recent years, especially during the time of impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
She said that her visit to Hoa Binh aims to further
enhance cooperation with the locality, towards realising the target of poverty
reduction of Hoa Binh, especially in ethnic minority areas.
On the occasion, the Irish delegation made field
trips to a number of places in Da Bac district.
Hoa Binh received 79.3 billion VND (over 3.4 million
USD) in aids from the Irish government in the 2017 – 2020 period. The money was
used to invest in 66 transport works, four irrigation projects and one school
in the districts of Kim Boi, Da Bac, Lac Son, Yen Thuy, Tan Lac and Mai Chau,
benefiting 10,000 local households.
In the spirit of "Party members go first, the people follow”, all households of Party members in the Doan Ket sub-region in Da Bac town, Da Bac district, voluntarily removed gates and fences, and donated land when the road expansion project passed through their properties. Inspired by their example, 68 households in the sub-region quickly followed suit, contributing over 1,400 sq.m of residential and perennial cropland to widen the main road through the residential area. The exemplary role of Party members in Doan Ket stands as a shining example of studying and following President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, morality, and lifestyle.

His teachings has been remaining valuable and serving as the guiding principles in the work of protecting, caring for, and educating children. In line with this ideology, Hoa Binh Province has continuously been prioritizing and investing resources in the well-being of children in recent years.
