Checking the disbursement progress of the National Target Program in Con Cuong district

According to the plan to implement the National Target Program on Socio-Economic Development for Ethnic Minorities and Mountainous Areas for the 2021-2030 period, there are two sources of capital: investment capital and public service capital. Regarding the investment capital assigned for the 2022-2024 period to Con Cuong district, more than 296 billion VND has been disbursed, reaching 72.7%. As for public service capital, 243 billion VND has been assigned, but only 39 billion VND has been disbursed, reaching 16.1%.

Some projects have difficulty in disbursing funds such as: Project 2 on planning, arranging, relocating, and stabilizing residents in necessary places; Project 6 on preserving and promoting the fine traditional cultural values ​​of ethnic minorities associated with tourism development; Sub-project 2 of Project 10 on applying information technology to support socio-economic development and ensuring security and order in ethnic minority and mountainous areas.

As for Sub-project 1 of Project 3 on sustainable agricultural and forestry economic development associated with forest protection and improving people's income, the capital disbursement rate in 2 years (2022 and 2023) only reached 13.7%.

In addition, the construction project of Con Cuong District Medical Center (investment capital) is behind schedule because it is still in the process of site clearance.

The conference assessed the shortcomings and limitations in the slow disbursement progress, and at the same time, proposed the need for separate instructions for each sub-project and project to facilitate implementation, avoiding overlapping constraints between documents. Review the support levels of the projects...

Comrade Bui Dinh Long - Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee highly appreciated the positive actions of the local government in implementing projects, disbursement reached the average level of the province, contributing to changing the face of Con Cuong urban area. However, the progress of disbursement of public capital is too low, especially the support for forestry development only reached 14%. Departments and branches need to review the overall completed and unfinished projects, speed up disbursement records. Particularly, the two key projects of the district including the Medical Center and Con Cuong Secondary Boarding School need to be focused on to complete.

For projects that are behind schedule, the district is requested to synthesize and consider solutions to disburse funds or transfer capital to other projects. This is a source of State capital that serves the legitimate and legal interests of the beneficiaries. Departments, agencies and sectors need to enhance their responsibilities to serve the needs of the people, especially those in remote areas. In the spirit of doing the right thing, daring to think, daring to do, daring to take responsibility, speed up the disbursement rate to effectively use the 3 national target programs.
