The City Chairman suggested that functional units should focus on researching and developing policies and tasks suitable to the practical situation after the merger. Priority should be given to three main policy groups: Supporting production development, supporting labor - employment, and increasing income for poor households; Supporting the poor to access basic social services, prioritizing services associated with multidimensional criteria such as health, education and training, housing, clean water and environmental sanitation, information and communication to ensure effectiveness in accordance with Resolution 57 of the Government; Developing infrastructure in disadvantaged areas, areas with high poverty rates, prioritizing the development of essential infrastructure such as transportation, schools, medical stations, small irrigation and domestic water.
Particularly for the National Target Program on New Rural Development (NTM), it must be determined that NTM construction is essentially the industrialization and modernization of the agricultural and rural sectors. Therefore, NTM construction must be linked to restructuring the agricultural sector and implementing local socio-economic development plans and plans. After the merger, it is necessary to review the Project on restructuring the agricultural sector towards increasing value and sustainable development associated with NTM construction. Maximize the potential and advantages of land, climate, and natural conditions to develop the agricultural economy. Build concentrated agricultural and forestry raw material areas that meet VietGap and GlobalGap standards, associated with intellectual property protection.
At the same time, promote the implementation of the OCOP program associated with key agricultural and forestry products, local specialties according to the value chain, combined with attracting investment and developing tourism. Consider this as one of the key solutions to develop the agricultural and rural economy, and increase people's income.
The City Chairman also noted vocational training for rural workers, encouraged businesses to participate in training, and improved the quality of rural labor. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to training and improving the capacity of cadres working on new rural construction at the commune and village levels to improve the quality of consulting work, proposing and implementing mechanisms, policies, programs, and projects suitable to the specific conditions of the region after the merger.
