According to the leaders of Dam Rong district, since implementing the emulation movement "For the poor - No one is left behind" in the period of 2021 - 2025, sectors and localities have focused on implementation. From here, many good models and creative ways of working and producing, helping each other develop the economy and reduce poverty have appeared. Typical models include: Cooperative Group for Mulberry Growing, Silkworm Raising, and Saving Pigs (Phi Lieng Commune); Pineapple Growing Model (of the Farmers' Association of Ro Men Commune); Cooperative Group for Mulberry Growing, Silkworm Raising, and Black Pig Raising, and Environmental Protection Residential Area (Da M'rong Commune); Green House Model, Women's Model "living a good life, living a good life" (Da K'nang Commune); Women's Group Model raising funds to support each other in growing mulberry and raising silkworms (Da Rsal Commune); Waste classification and scrap collection model raising funds to help members in difficulty (Ro Men Commune); Labor exchange group model, cooking nutritious porridge for the elderly and children (Lieng S'rong Commune); Brocade weaving model (Da Long Commune)... In addition to the models from the communes, the models: Farmers' Groups helping poor, near-poor households, escaping poverty; helping poor households eliminate temporary houses; Model "Saturday with the People participating in building new rural areas" of the district unions have also contributed a great deal of resources, not only helping poor and near-poor households develop the economy but also helping localities make more progress in socio-economic development.

In addition, policies on job creation and support for livelihood issues, housing, loans, health insurance, etc. were also promptly implemented by Dam Rong district, contributing significantly to supporting households to escape poverty sustainably, minimizing the risk of falling back into poverty.

Practices in recent years have shown that, with the joint efforts and participation of the whole society, poverty reduction work in Dam Rong district has achieved important results.
