Discussing poverty reduction efforts, Mr. So Da, Chairman of the People's Committee of Suoi Trai commune, acknowledged: "The percentage of poor and near-poor households in the commune is still quite high. Therefore, we have intensified the implementation of important national target programs."

Attention has also been paid to healthcare, educational support, and the elimination of temporary housing.

Benefiting from the program, the commune is promoting the application of science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation, alongside administrative reform. A highlight of this work is the effective operation of the Community Digital Technology Team, which not only supports people in resolving administrative procedures on the Public Service Portal but also goes to villages to guide the installation of applications and electronic identity verification accounts (VNeID) at levels 1 and 2. Thanks to this close support, people, especially ethnic minorities, have become more accessible and proficient in digital technology.

Mr. Y Nin Êban, a resident of Ea Tul commune, shared: "Previously, I wasn't tech-savvy, so it was difficult to complete administrative procedures. But with the help and guidance of commune officials, I was able to register and complete the necessary documents and procedures on the Public Service Portal myself and receive the results much sooner than before."
