(HBO) – The People’s Committee of Hoa Binh province has reviewed the implementation of the national target programme on sustainable poverty reduction for the 2016-2020 period at a recent conference.
Bui Van Khanh, Vice
Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial
People’s Committee, presents certificates of merit to collectives that made
outstanding achievements in an emulation movement aiming to support the poor
over the past five years.
During
the reviewed period, Hoa Binh has promptly and effectively rolled out policies
on social welfare, poverty reduction, vocational training and job generation.
The
emulation movement that calls for joint efforts in supporting the poor so that
no one is left behind has reaped significant achievements, helping to reduce
the province’s poverty rate from 24.38 percent to only 11.36 percent in the
five years. The rate is predicted to stay at 8.56 percent at the end of this
year.
At
the end of 2019, one district, six communes and 73 villages escaped from especially
difficult circumstances. However,
resources have remained limited given the huge demand for construction of
communes, especially disadvantaged localities.
Other
difficulties hindering the province’s efforts in poverty reduction include
limited investment in agriculture, and the inefficient coordination between
departments, agencies and localities in implementing programmes, projects and
policies towards ethnic minority-inhabited and mountainous areas.
In
2017, the province was hard hit by floods, leading to an increasing number of
poor households, including cases of relapse.
During
the 2021-2025 period, 10 trillion VND is expected to be injected into the
programme, withtrillion VND coming from the central budget and 2 trillion
VND from the local budget.
In
his remarks, Bui Van Khanh, Vice Secretary of the provincial Party Committee
and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, highlighted the
responsibility of leaders of agencies in fixing limitations over the past five
years, and stressed the need to step up the communication work in order to
raise public awareness of poverty reduction, improve the capacity of officials
involved in the work, and speed up the disbursement of projects./.
