Ea Na firmly steps on the new rural journey

Ea Na commune was established on the basis of merging the entire area and population of 3 communes Ea Bong, Ea Na and Dray Sap (old Krong Ana district) with an area of over 134 km², a population of over 42,000 people and is one of the large-scale commune-level administrative units in the province. The large area, scattered and uneven population distribution, ethnic minorities account for nearly 35% of the total population of the commune, combined with many difficulties in economy , infrastructure and access to basic services not only put pressure on management but also pose a big challenge in maintaining and improving the quality of new rural criteria. Therefore, immediately after stabilizing the organizational structure, Ea Na commune quickly reviewed all new rural criteria, built a specific roadmap, flexibly mobilized support resources, and at the same time widely launched the emulation movement to build new rural areas among the entire population, taking consensus as the driving force and efficiency as the measure.

Mr. Nguyen Minh Dong, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the People's Committee of Ea Na commune, said that there are currently no specific guidelines on the new rural criteria applicable to the commune after the merger, but with a proactive spirit, the commune has conducted a comprehensive review of the achieved criteria. In particular, the locality pays great attention to the criteria related to the rate of poor and near-poor households, which are fundamental factors that directly affect the quality of life of the people. At the same time, the commune has also proposed many appropriate policies to promote economic development in ethnic minority areas, gradually narrowing the gap. The work of reviewing and rearranging the school system is also being implemented, ensuring the best learning conditions for students in the area.

Before the merger, all three communes of Ea Bong, Ea Na and Dray Sap had been recognized as meeting new rural standards. From that foundation, Ea Na commune continued to inherit, promote and proactively improve the criteria according to practical requirements. The locality has developed a specific plan, focusing on investing in essential public works such as roads, irrigation, electricity grid, schools, medical stations, etc., ensuring compliance with the newly expanded administrative scale.

Along with infrastructure investment, the commune pays special attention to developing agriculture according to the value chain, improving production efficiency and improving income for people, especially in ethnic minority areas. Many policies to support livelihoods, develop key crops, and eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses have also been implemented, aiming to improve the quality of life and ensure social security.

The programs to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses have been basically implemented by the commune, meeting the progress requirements according to the plan. As for cases that are not eligible for construction due to land procedures, the locality is actively reviewing to propose appropriate support policies, ensuring that in the coming period, the locality will no longer have temporary or dilapidated houses, helping people stabilize their lives.

The Commune Youth Union supports people in completing administrative procedures.

The operation of the Commune Public Administration Center has facilitated people to access public administrative services quickly, transparently and modernly. At the same time, it has created a "connecting gateway" between the government and the people.

Mr. Tran Van Hung, Deputy Director of Ea Na Commune Public Administration Center, said: “The merger of administrative units has significantly increased the number of administrative procedures. To meet the requirements, the Center has arranged adequate human resources, improved the process of receiving and returning results; civil servants have also been trained to adapt to the two-level local government model, creating a positive change in accessing and resolving administrative procedures."

The Commune Fatherland Front Committee and mass organizations have also proactively developed specific action plans, focusing on key tasks such as strengthening the great solidarity bloc, promoting traditional culture, and improving the quality of life in residential areas. Ms. Nay H'Úy, Vice Chairman of the Commune Fatherland Front Committee, shared: "We identify that the people are the center and the subject in building new rural areas. Therefore, all movements are linked to real life, ensuring practicality, effectiveness, and spreading the spirit of solidarity and community responsibility."
