Bringing digital technology to villages and expanding access to information.

A key highlight in the information poverty reduction efforts of Thang Mo commune (Tuyen Quang province) is promoting the role of community digital technology groups to bring digital technology closer to people in the highlands.

In many remote villages of Thang Mo commune (Tuyen Quang province), the sight of members of community digital technology teams diligently guiding people to scan QR codes, use online public services, install digital banking applications, or search for information on the Internet has become familiar.

From being unfamiliar with technology, the people here have gradually mastered smart devices and learned to utilize useful information sources to serve the economic development of their families.

This result was achieved thanks to the local authorities implementing various solutions to effectively reduce information poverty over the past period. A key highlight was leveraging the role of community-based digital technology groups to bring digital technology closer to people in mountainous areas.

People proactively seek out and learn from successful production models.

Considered a bridge between the government and the people in the digital transformation process, members of community digital technology teams regularly visit villages, hamlets, and households to disseminate information and guide people on using smartphones, accessing digital platforms, and exploiting information to serve production and daily life.

Through internet-connected phones, people can access the government's poverty reduction policies, learn about livestock and crop farming techniques, and gain experience from successful models in other localities. Many households have proactively sought knowledge about disease prevention and control for livestock, improving production efficiency and expanding opportunities for product consumption.

In addition, the commune has also intensified its propaganda efforts through the local broadcasting system and specialized communication programs on digital transformation and sustainable poverty reduction. The combination of focused propaganda and direct guidance has contributed to raising people's awareness of the role of information in socio-economic development.

With better access to government support policies and programs, many poor and near-poor households in Thang Mo have boldly registered to participate in livelihood support programs, vocational training, and production development loans. The people's awareness and economic mindset are gradually changing towards a more proactive and positive direction.

Reducing information poverty is one of the key solutions for creating a foundation for sustainable poverty reduction. It is noteworthy that the spirit of self-reliance and the will to overcome poverty among the local people are increasingly strengthened, creating an important prerequisite for sustainable development in the coming years.

With positive progress in poverty reduction, in the coming time, Thang Mo commune will continue to promote the effective operation of community digital technology groups, strengthen the application of digital technology in connecting markets, promoting and consuming local agricultural products, and gradually improve the lives of the people.
