After the District Party Congress for the 2015-2020 term, all levels from district to grassroots have closely followed the congress resolution, focusing on implementing many solutions to successfully achieve the goals and targets.

Many targets have been and are expected to be achieved such as: agriculture, forestry, fishery and rural development; industry, construction; state budget revenue and expenditure in the area, economic structure, added value per capita... However, some targets are expected to be difficult to achieve such as: new rural construction, ratio of doctors/10,000 people...

Besides, in the economic and infrastructure fields, Nghia Dan also faces some difficulties such as: the infrastructure of Nghia Long Small Industrial Park has not been completed, Nghia Dan Industrial Park in Nghia Hoi commune has not been invested yet so the efficiency of attracting investment has not met expectations. Traffic infrastructure and schools in some places are still limited. These are also the issues that Nghia Dan district leaders have proposed to the province to have solutions to support and resolve...

However, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee emphasized that the province, the people of Nghe An and Nghia Dan still expect more from the district. Nghia Dan must be a center for spreading sustainable, green development, with high scientific and technological content, closely linked to the interests of the people. And this must be considered an important issue put first.

To do so, Nghia Dan must review and reconsider the role and benefits of the people when the district becomes a high-tech agricultural center. In this process, what do the people benefit from and share? There are recommendations to the province and businesses on how to best improve the relationship between businesses and the people.

In addition, wood, fruit and stone processing factories have been established in the area. The output for Nghia Dan products is available, so it is necessary to re-evaluate the input products, thereby shaping, orienting and organizing production for the people effectively; at the same time, review the land fund and build production areas.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee also requested the district to consider services and trade as a strength, associated with systematic planning, avoiding fragmentation, proactively calling for investors in this field; at the same time, focusing on tourism development.

On the other hand, the district is well prepared to build documents for the next term District Party Congress with a vision to build and develop Nghia Dan district in the next 5-10 years, as well as doing a good job in personnel work, especially the grassroots cadre team.
