Quy Chau poverty rate is still high

(Baonghean.vn) – After directly surveying the implementation of the process of investigation, review, and assessment of poor and near-poor households in Chau Binh commune, on the afternoon of November 10, the Culture and Social Committee of the Provincial People's Council had a meeting with the People's Committee of Quy Chau district on related contents.

Working scene.

Quy Chau is a mountainous district with nearly 80% of the population being ethnic minorities; the poverty rate is high. Therefore, in recent years, the district has had many policies to support hunger eradication and poverty reduction of the Party and State implemented and applied. One of the important steps to ensure that these policies are highly effective is to organize investigations, reviews, and assessments of poor households in a policy-based manner, classifying each group of poor people to have appropriate impacts.

The district has resolutely directed this work by establishing a Steering Committee to investigate and review poor and near-poor households from the district to the grassroots level; the District Steering Committee went to the communes and the Commune Steering Committee went to the hamlets and villages to direct, any errors were promptly handled.

Comrade Thai Thanh Quy - Secretary of Nam Dan District Party Committee, a member of the survey team, raised concerns that many poor households are slow to escape poverty.

Mr. Vi Van Tien - Vice Chairman of Quy Chau District People's Committee said that the direction of investigation, review and assessment of poor households was basically carried out in accordance with the process.

By the end of 2014, through investigation and review, the entire Quy Chau district still had nearly 40% poor households, in which some communes had a poverty rate higher than the district's average such as Chau Hoan with nearly 47%; Chau Nga with more than 45%; Chau Binh with nearly 45%... In addition, the rate of newly poor and re-poor households was high.

Mr. Nguyen Hung Cuong - Deputy Head of the District Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs said that many people still want to be on the list of poor households to enjoy the State's policies.

Mr. Ha Van Chinh - Vice Chairman of Chau Thuan Commune People's Committee pointed out some difficulties in investigating, reviewing and evaluating poor households at the grassroots level.

In addition, the investigation, review and assessment of poor and near-poor households still reveal some shortcomings and limitations such as lack of accuracy, taking advantage of policies to benefit the wrong beneficiaries. The reason is that the qualifications and capacity of some investigators are still limited, subjective, and not enthusiastic about the work. The organization of assessment at the hamlet and village level still has a state of favoritism and localism...

Ms. Ton Thi Cam Ha - Deputy Head of the Department of Culture - Society, Provincial People's Council suggested that the district needs to improve the responsibility of investigators and people to ensure objectivity and accuracy in investigating, reviewing and evaluating poor and near-poor households.

Based on the survey results, the Department of Culture and Society, the Provincial People's Council acknowledged the participation of the entire political system at all levels in the work of hunger eradication and poverty reduction as well as investigation, review and assessment of poor households in the district.

In order for the work of hunger eradication and poverty reduction in the coming time to have more positive changes, the working delegation of the Provincial People's Council requested the Party Committee, authorities and political system at all levels in Quy Chau to continue to strengthen propaganda work, raise awareness and sense of responsibility of investigators and people, ensuring accuracy and objectivity in the work of investigation, review and assessment of poor households in the district.

At the same time, it is necessary to focus on training and disseminating new contents and regulations on multi-dimensional investigation of poor and near-poor households to ensure accuracy. At the same time, it is necessary to analyze and classify each group of poor and near-poor people according to their causes to have a way out of poverty for each group, contributing to the successful implementation of the Resolution of the District Party Congress for the term 2015 - 2020.
