Thua Thien – Hue (VNA) – The central province ofThua Thien – Hue plans to mobilize 7.22 trillion VND (314.4 million USD) fromdifferent sources to achieve the goal of having 61 out of its 104 communesmeeting new-style rural standards by the end of 2020.


The money is set to be sourced from the national and provincialbudgets (32.1 percent), loans (43.6 percent), businesses and cooperatives (14.5percent), and local communities (9.7 percent).

In 2018 alone, to carry out its rural building programme,the province has mobilised over 1.778 trillion VND (76.45 million USD), ofwhich 673.9 billion VND (28.97 million USD) came from the national andprovincial budgets, 1 trillion (43 million USD) from credit, 30 billion VND(1.29 million USD) from the business sector and 75 billion VND (3.22 millionUSD) from the community.

Thua Thien – Hue is working to assist 10 more communes indifferent districts and towns to fulfill the standards this year, bringing the totalnumber of new-style rural communes in the province to 41 at the end of the year.

Current shortcomings of the local rural building workinclude an overemphasis on infrastructure without paying sufficient attentionto boosting production, raising income of local residents, reducing poverty rate,developing culture and protecting the environment.

To overcome the shortcomings and meet the target, theprovince has been focusing efforts on challenging criteria like those on poorhousehold rate, income, environment & food safety, and political system& legal access.

The provincial Department for Agriculture and RuralDevelopment is continuing its restructuring of the agriculture sector anddeveloping the local “one commune – one product” programme in a bid to boostincome and complete rural infrastructure.

Measures to achieve the target also cover mobilising resourcesfrom local communities, businesses, and attracting investment in agricultureand rural development.

Close monitoring of relevant policies’ impact on society isalso important, particularly in supporting production, reducing poverty anddeveloping cooperatives, in order to make timely adjustments, thus ensuring thepolicies suit reality and produce the best effects.-VNA
