There are many policies!...
(Baonghean.vn) - There are many policies for mountainous people and ethnic minorities, but not all of them are effective.
Reading the newspaper, I see that in 5 years, from 2017 to 2022, through 17 policies from the Central Government and 5 policies from the province, the ethnic minority group has very few people and the ethnic group still has many difficulties in our province.supported more than 6,120 billion VNDsocio-economic development

How many numbers is 6,120 billion VND? I tried to dial it on my phone but I couldn't figure out how many zeros it was. Also according to the newspaper, which quoted the leader of the Department of Finance, in the past 5 years, the Central Government has issued 17 policies related to supporting students, developing education - health, vocational training for rural workers; policies on forest protection and development, building new rural areas, poverty reduction... The province has 5 policies related to supporting poverty reduction for communes with a poverty rate of 30% or more in addition to Resolution No. 30a/2008/NQ-CP for the period 2016 - 2020; supporting livestock breeding models, preferential credit policies...
A few years ago, I read in the newspaper that our province had more than 70 effective policies for ethnic minorities. Thanks to the State's policies, the lives of people in remote areas were less miserable, and production, animal husbandry, and the lives of people in mountainous areas were gradually improved. Then the National Assembly and the Government also issued more policies and resolutions to promote socio-economic development in ethnic minority and mountainous areas. The goal was to pull the mountainous areas closer to the lowlands.

However, there are many policies for the mountainous people and ethnic minorities, but not all of them are effective. One of the reasons is that each policy is managed by a certain ministry or branch; similarly, at the local level, it is managed by departments, branches, and units. Sometimes, more than one unit implements a policy. There are projects to support socio-economic development for the mountainous people that "died" as soon as they were implemented, and there are also projects that "died" after the assigned departments and branches withdrew. That is to say, there are many plants and animals deployed in mountainous areas to eliminate poverty but they do not create livelihoods for the people.
Recently, an official of the Provincial People's Council said that a non-central ministry invested in building a community cultural house worth more than 6 billion VND for a residential village of a very small ethnic group in Nghe An. That's good! However, the cultural house only has the function of holding activities once a month, while the people's housing is very difficult.
