(HBO) – Tan Giang street has a beautiful flower road thanks to the effort of local women who spend time cleaning the street and taking care of flowers at the end of the day or at the weekends.

The sidewalks are narrow and there is no land, so they grow flowers and trees in pots. The flower roads managed by women have contributed to creating a beautiful landscape and civilised urban area for Vu Ban town.


Women in Tan Giang street, Lac Son district’s Vu Ban town maintain the self-governance model to have green, clean and beautiful roads.

In Vu Ban town, many effective self-governed models have been built and maintained such as "clean house, beautiful garden, civilised alley" of the Veterans Association with the involvement of 95 percent of its members; a section of a self-governed road with a total length of 8.5km; "contributing capital to help each other develop the household economy" in nine hamlets and residential groups in the township, said Pham Thi Chung, Vice President of Vu Ban Town’s Fatherland Front.

Self-governing models of urban civilisation building, environmental protection and ensuring security and order have made an important contribution to socio-economic development, maintaining security and defence in the locality.

Localities, associations and mass organisations regularly review the operation of self-governed groups in the residential community, selecting effective ones for replication.

The province now has 7,503 self-governed groups in all villages, hamlets, residential groups and residential areas, drawing the participation of over 80 percent of households They include 679 groups in the economic field, 2,003 in the socio-culture, 3,756 in the field of security and order, 910 in the field of environment and 155 in other fields.

Given the complicated developments of the COVID-19 pandemic, 3,871 COVID-19 community groups have been established in the province over the past two years. With the motto "going from house to house, checking every suspected person", these teams have contributed significantly to tracing contacts, managing quarantined cases at home and spread of the pandemic at a time when the vaccination rate was still low.

In fact, self-governed groups havewell promoted their role as the core factor to mobilise strength from the entire population, promote the creativity and self-governance spirit among local residents, contributing to the effective implementation of the campaign "All people unite to build new-style rural building and civilised city"./.
