The National Assembly's Ethnic Council works with the Steering Committee for the poverty reduction program in Nghe An province.
(Baonghean.vn) -CThis afternoon, February 16, the Supervisory Delegation of the National Assembly's Ethnic Council, led by Comrade Trieu Thi Nai - Vice President of the Council, had a working session with the Steering Committee of the poverty reduction program of Nghe An province.
Nghe An has 3 districts under the Government's 30a program, including Ky Son, Tuong Duong and Que Phong. Although these 3 localities account for a small proportion of the province's population, these are 3 districts with a high proportion of ethnic minorities and a very high poverty rate, leading to backward customs and a heavy sense of dependence.... Therefore, in the process of leadership and direction of implementation, there were many difficulties. All levels and sectors in the province focused on directing and implementing in a methodical and effective manner. As a result, after 3 years of implementing Resolution 30a, the 3 districts have supported 7,208 poor households to build houses, reaching more than 98% of the plan. Invest in the construction of 65 essential works, including roads to the commune center, irrigation works, domestic water, electricity, commune health stations, schools, bridges, with a total investment capital of 289 billion VND, of which 55 works have been put into use. More than 54 billion VND has been allocated to implement policies to support the development of agricultural, forestry and industrial production, such as: support for buying livestock, building barns, supporting land reclamation for production. Well implement the policy of supporting food for poor households in border areas; preferential credit loans; vocational training and labor export... After 3 years of implementing Resolution 30a, the poverty rate of the 3 districts has decreased by 3 - 4%/year.
On behalf of the working delegation, comrade Trieu Thi Nai praised the province's strong leadership in implementing the Government's 30a program for 3 poor districts. She suggested that the province should continue to promote propaganda work, change awareness for the people, and strive to escape poverty sustainably. The province needs to study and prioritize support to integrate capital sources effectively. Strengthen the exploitation of resources, especially land resources; replicate effective economic models, associated with preserving and conserving the culture of ethnic minorities. Pay attention to preventing social evils, ensuring national defense and security, promoting socio-economic development of the districts. Strengthen training and improve the quality of grassroots cadres to bring the Party and State's policies and guidelines into the lives of ethnic minorities. Regarding the province's proposals, she promised to work with the central ministries and branches and report to the National Assembly at the upcoming fourth session.
