The district strengthens the review to ensure that the programs and projects arranged in the medium-term and annual public investment plans are implemented according to regulations, improving the quality of investment management in the area. Along with that, it is necessary to regularly check the progress of each project, promptly remove and resolve arising difficulties and problems; speed up the progress of projects and works and disburse according to the assigned plan, and finalize completed projects according to regulations.
The results of implementing the public investment plan in 3 years (2021 - 2023) in Hung Nguyen district have a total of 194 works and projects; of which, there are 10 projects under the central capital management of the province (excluding projects under the national target program) and 184 works and projects under the decentralized district budget.

The quality of survey, establishment and appraisal of some projects is still limited, having to be adjusted and supplemented many times, affecting the progress of project implementation. On the other hand, the compensation and site clearance policy is having some shortcomings, including the situation of 2-3 different compensation levels in 1 project...
