1. In the first 6 months of 2014, many localities have launched a campaign to accelerate the implementation of the New Rural Development Program, with very clear changes, especially 14 communes registered to reach the finish line in 2014 and mobilized the entire political system from the province to the grassroots level to participate, receiving enthusiastic response from the people. Propaganda and training work has been focused on and promoted effectively, with changes in awareness and professional knowledge, and many methods and ways of organizing the implementation of the Program focusing on areas and points.

The signing of the emulation commitment of 14 communes registered to finish in 2014 has created a driving force to promote the implementation of the program. Up to now, 7 communes have met the NTM standards and are currently organizing self-assessment to submit for appraisal and recognition of meeting the NTM standards according to regulations.

However, in addition to the achieved results, the implementation of the Program in the past time still has some limitations, which are: The progress of implementation is generally slow compared to the target, especially in communes finishing in 2015; the attention and direction of Party committees and authorities in some places is not regular and close; the work of summarizing and replicating production models is still limited; the work of building rural roads in the third phase according to the cement support policy is still slow compared to the requirements; the members of the Steering Committee have not yet inspected to grasp the situation, helping localities to remove obstacles at the grassroots level.

2. On some contents that need to be focused on directing in the coming time.

2.1. Strengthen propaganda and mobilization work in many forms to contribute to creating a widespread emulation movement, especially for the 14 communes registered to finish in 2014.

2.2. Focusing on direction at localities must combine priority direction with promoting large-scale implementation to ensure an increase in the number of communes meeting NTM standards every year, while increasing the number of criteria for communes meeting standards by 2015.

Request the members of the Provincial Steering Committee to regularly inspect, urge, and closely monitor the grassroots according to the assigned areas to guide, direct, and work with the grassroots to remove obstacles and difficulties, speed up the progress of the Program implementation, especially the communes registered to reach the finish line in 2014.

2.4. Focus on building rural roads in the third phase according to the province's cement support policy. Assign the Department of Finance to preside over and coordinate with the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Department of Transport to completely resolve the cement supply in the second phase of 2013, speeding up the progress of cement supply in the third phase.
