MoLISA Deputy
Minister Le Van Thanh talks about issues needing attention during the
implementation of the national target programme on sustainable poverty
reduction.
Local officials reported that in 2023, Hoa Binh
has accelerated implementing the tasks identified by the Prime Minister and the
central steering committee for the national target programmes in the 2021 -
2025 period.
So far, the province has basically adhered to
central agencies’ regulations and guidance documents while applying a creative
and suitable approach to the programme implementation.
Of the over 447.2 billion VND (nearly 18.4
million USD) in total capital for this programme during 2021 - 2023, the
funding for 2023 is 326.67 billion VND. Hoa Binh had disbursed more than 184.3
billion VND as of mid-December, lower than the nationwide average.
The household poverty rate in the province has
been brought down by 3.09% to 9.2% as of late 2023, equivalent to 123.6% of the
target. In particular, the rate in Da Bac district has fallen 9.17% to 25.77%,
representing 146.72% of the target.
Projects, sub-projects, and activities of the
programme have been carried out actively, officials added.
At a working session the same day,
representatives of district-level People’s Committees informed participants of
the results as well as problems and difficulties facing their localities during
the implementation of the national target programme on sustainable poverty
reduction.
Deputy Minister Thanh recognised Hoa Binh’s
efforts in carrying out the programme, especially in surpassing the household
poverty reduction target.
He asked it to speed up capital disbursement for
the sub-projects with a low disbursement rate, adding that the supervisory
delegation will submit the province’s proposals to the Government and the
National Assembly.
On behalf of the local leaders, Vice Chairman of
the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Toan said that for the completed
facilities and projects, Hoa Binh will quickly finish payment dossiers to
ensure the disbursement progress.
Conclusions made by the supervisory delegation
will be reported to the chairperson of the provincial People’s Committee, he
noted, adding that the local steering board will convene a meeting in the time ahead
to assign tasks to related agencies and address obstacles to the programme
implementation.
Also on December 18, the MoLISA delegation
inspected the programme implementation in Da Bac district, some livelihood
models in Mit hamlet of Tan Minh commune, the upgrade and repair of Provincial
Road DH34 from Tan Minh to Yen Hoa commune, and the bridge and road leading to
Tan Minh semi-boarding junior high school for ethnic minority students.
Creating jobs for labourers in general and young people in particular is currently a focus of the province, with vocational training linked to job creation considered one of the strategic breakthrough solutions.
A total of 30 intergenerational self-help clubs (ISHC) have been established in Hoa Binh province under the project "Reducing Income- and Health-Related Vulnerability of Older Persons in Vietnam" (VIE071) since 2021.
Nguyen Thi Nu, a resident of Thach Ly sub-area in Da Bac township of Da Bac district, has been popular in the area as a simple woman that is rich in compassion. For nearly 10 years, she has spread her kindness through many charity activities to ease difficulties for the needy.
Voluntary blood donation (HMTN) is a noble and humane gesture. 24 years ago, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 43/2000/QD-TTg on mobilizing and encouraging Voluntary blood donation and designated April 7 every year as "All-People Voluntary blood donation Day”. This is an important milestone in the movement of voluntary blood donation, creating a strong change in the awareness and action at all levels of the government and people from all walks of life.
Yen Thuy is aiming to become a new-style rural district by 2025. To achieve this goal, the district has been mobilising the entire political system and local people to early fulfil required criteria.
From a normal bamboo tree, Nguyen Van Nam in Yen Tri commune, Yen Thuy district has transformed it into a "bamboo dragon". His works have been present in many countries.
