(HBO) – People of ethnic minority groups, accounting for 74.3 percent of the total population of Hoa Binh, mostly live in rural areas with difficult conditions. Therefore, over the years, the Party Committee and administration of Hoa Binh have paid great attention to promoting unity among ethnic groups and improving the living conditions of ethnic minority communities, considering it as a major task of the whole political system.




The provincial Party Committee, People’s Council and People’s Committee have led and instruct all sectors, departments and the whole political system to engage in addressing difficulties to enhance the material and spiritual conditions of the community.

The provincial Party Committee, People’s Council and People’s Committee have directed relevant agencies to coordinate and issue documents to institutionalize and concretise policies and orientations of the Party, State and the province on ethnic affairs, while assigning specific tasks to each sector and agency in line with the realization of policies, programmes and projects on socio-economic development.

Particularly, the province has directed localities to combine funds of centrally-invested programmes and projects on ethnic community with other financial resources to improve infrastructure system in ethnic areas, with priority given to transport, irrigation, health care, education and culture works.

At the same time, the province has invested greatly in science-technology transfer programmes, projects and models to promote production in rural areas.

Notably, many agricultural production models have been implemented with high economic efficiency, creating concentrated production areas, helping create many major products in cultivation, breeding, and forestry, contributing to boosting socio-economic growth and improve income for locals.

Thanks to the programmes and projects, the infrastructure system in ethnic minority areas of the province have been improved, changing the face of mountainous areas, facilitating socio-economic development in especially extremely difficult communes in the province.

More convenient transportation have made goods exchange and travelling activities of the community easier, improving the material and spiritual life of ethnic minority groups, contributing to preserving and promoting the cultural identity of the groups.

Thanks to the direction and leadership of Party Committees and administrations at all levels as well as the involvement of the whole political system and efforts of ethnic minority people in getting rid of poverty and building new-style rural area, per capita income in Hoa Binh’s rural areas has reached 22 million VND per year. The poverty ratio among households dropped to 14 percent in 2018, with reduction of 3-4 percent per year on average.

The province has 82 out of its total 191 communes recognised as new-style rural areas, 51 communes higher than that in 2015, completing the target set by the province’s resolution one year ahead of schedule./.
