Session view
Results of the implementation of the New Rural Development Program by March 2025, the rate of communes meeting new rural standards reached 77.9% (the target for the 2021-2025 period is 80%); the rate of districts meeting new rural standards was 47.6% (the target is 50%); 6 provinces completed the task of building new rural areas (the target is 15 provinces).
The Sustainable Poverty Reduction Program has achieved the targets assigned by the National Assembly and the Government: The multidimensional poverty rate by 2024 is 1.93%; the poverty rate in poor districts is 24.86%; the poverty rate of ethnic minority households is 12.55% (down 3.95%).
Of the 9 target groups of the Socio -Economic Development Program for Ethnic Minority and Mountainous Areas, 6 target groups have been basically completed and exceeded: Poverty reduction rate for ethnic minorities; average income; education; vocationally trained labor; preservation and development of traditional cultural values and identities; and strengthening healthcare.
Three groups of targets have not been achieved: Improving technical infrastructure and social infrastructure; reducing the number of communes and villages outside extremely difficult areas; settling down, basically solving the shortage of residential land and production land.
In 2025 alone, the total estimated and planned central budget capital for the three programs is more than 53,500 billion VND, of which the Prime Minister has assigned nearly 30,400 billion VND (including nearly 22,000 billion VND of public investment capital and 8,400 billion VND of regular expenses).
It is estimated that by the end of March 2025, localities will disburse VND 3,836 billion of central public investment capital (reaching 16%); regular expenditure will reach VND 323 billion (reaching 1.8%).
Delegates attending the meeting.
Regarding difficulties and limitations, Deputy Minister of Finance Do Thanh Trung said that some contents of the three national target programs do not have sufficient legal basis for implementation, especially the Socio-Economic Development Program for Ethnic Minority and Mountainous Areas.
Some support contents of the two programs Sustainable Poverty Reduction and Socio-Economic Development for Ethnic Minorities and Mountainous Areas are no longer applicable or the support level is still low.
Some localities have not proactively reviewed and prepared investment procedures right from the planning stage, taking a long time to complete investment procedures, approve projects, allocate and assign capital plans.
In the first months of 2025, ministries, branches and localities focused mainly on the work of perfecting and rearranging the organization and apparatus, so they did not focus on implementing and disbursing capital for the three national target programs.
Deputy Prime Minister Mai Van Chinh speaks.
Acknowledging the results achieved in implementing the three target programs, Deputy Prime Minister Mai Van Chinh said that it is necessary to fully summarize the limitations, difficulties, and obstacles, agree on solutions to remove them, and be determined to allocate and disburse all public investment capital and regular expenditures according to the plan; issue a new set of criteria on rural construction and poverty reduction in an integrated direction, reducing overlaps and duplications.
The Deputy Prime Minister suggested continuing to strengthen the steering committee for implementing target programs at the local level; demarcating authority and tasks assigned to the province and commune after removing the district level, ensuring continuous and uninterrupted implementation of target programs; rebuilding criteria, with additions and improvements.
At the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha stated that from now until the end of 2025, ministries, branches and localities need to continue to strive to basically complete the set comprehensive goals, which are very meaningful in sustainable poverty reduction and new rural construction. However, achieving the targets of reducing the number of poor districts, the number of particularly disadvantaged communes in coastal areas, ethnic minority areas, and the number of districts meeting new rural standards still faces many challenges.
To meet the requirements of effective, practical and urgent use of State investment capital, the Deputy Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Finance to work with ministries, branches and localities to synthesize and propose the allocation of investment capital and remaining regular budget for 3 national target programs, especially the Socio-Economic Development Program for Ethnic Minority and Mountainous Areas.
The Ministry of Construction discussed with the Ministry of Finance and the Bank for Social Policies to arrange capital to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses, with priority given to people with meritorious services and policy families.
Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha speaks
The Ministry of Finance coordinates with ministries, branches and localities to review financial and budgetary mechanisms and policies according to Decision No. 1719/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister approving the National Target Program on Sustainable Poverty Reduction for the 2021-2025 period to ensure sustainability, no overlap, mutual cancellation, and ensure publicity and transparency.
The Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Home Affairs proposed a plan to strengthen the steering committee to implement the three programs at the central and local levels.
The ministries in charge of each program should conduct a comprehensive, systematic, and scientific review, clearly pointing out overlapping and duplication issues; at the same time, urge, inspect, supervise, and grasp the situation in some specific areas, and have specific instructions and proposals in the coming time.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment builds a database on three target programs; proposes new programs to overcome overlapping, dispersion, lack of reliance on specific objects and regions, and clearly define tasks with other target programs on culture, education-training, and health.
