One of the lessons learned during the past term is that, based on understanding the local characteristics and situation, after issuing policies and resolutions, the implementation is organized in a drastic and decisive manner. Selecting competent cadres to assign tasks. During the implementation process, regular monitoring, preliminary evaluation, and summary are conducted to draw experience. During the entire term, the commune proposed 5 key programs for implementation. Up to now, 4/5 programs have been effective, except for the rattan and bamboo weaving vocational training program, due to lack of raw materials and difficult output, the model cannot be replicated.

Entering the new term, Quynh Loc continues to effectively exploit local advantages and potentials to promote economic and social development. With the target of average economic growth of 14 - 15%, positive economic structure shift, average income per capita of 45 million VND in 2020, After summarizing and evaluating the implementation of 10 key programs of the previous term, in this term, the Commune Party Committee continues to orient the implementation of 5 programs, namely: Focusing on directing the implementation of the National Target Program on new rural construction, striving to complete the new rural targets in 2019. Vocational training, job creation associated with the program of rapid and sustainable poverty reduction. Fighting against conservative and stagnant thinking in the face of new requirements for economic development. Ensuring security and order, preventing social evils. Consolidating the political system, improving the capacity and effectiveness of the staff.

Quynh Loc Commune Party Committee continues to innovate its leadership and direction style and focus on Party cells and villages; policies and resolutions must be correct, practical, highly feasible and suitable to the local situation; when implementing, it is necessary to assign Party committees to be in charge of each Party cell, each stage, each project; through specific action programs to evaluate and enhance the responsibility of leaders; attach importance to summarizing and drawing experience from practice, saying goes hand in hand with doing, using work efficiency to evaluate the qualities and capacity of cadres and the quality of the movement...

Believing that with the achievements and the trust from the 28th Party Congress, term 2015 - 2020, Quynh Loc commune will continue to have more drastic and breakthrough solutions to promote economic and social development, creating conditions to mobilize many resources so that by the end of the term, the commune will complete the goal of reaching the new rural destination.
