In recent times, the implementation of the 3 National Target Programs has achieved many important results, actively contributing to the socio -economic development of the country.
Achieving many important results but still having shortcomings and limitations
In recent times, the implementation of the 3 National Target Programs has achieved many important results, positively contributing to the socio-economic development of the country. The National Target Program on New Rural Development, the National Target Program on Sustainable Poverty Reduction (2021 - 2025 period) have basically achieved and exceeded the goals and targets assigned by the National Assembly and the Government for the period 2021 - 2025, the National Target Program on Socio-Economic Development in Ethnic Minority and Mountainous Areas for the period 2021 - 2030, Phase I 2021 - 2025 has completed 6/9 target groups.
The results achieved have affirmed the correctness of the guidelines and policies, contributing to restructuring and developing the country's economy in a fast and sustainable direction; infrastructure, rural appearance, material and spiritual life of rural people have been comprehensively improved; the millennium goals have been achieved;...
However, in the process of implementing the programs, there are still shortcomings and inadequacies, among which: There is still overlap in scope, objects and content between the 3 Programs. The beneficiaries of the 3 Programs are mountainous communes and poor ethnic minority areas; in terms of area, there are many mountainous ethnic minority communes that are both rural and poor communes; infrastructure investment, livelihood support and vocational training items overlap in content.
The independent implementation of the 3 Programs in the past time encountered some difficulties and obstacles in the implementation process such as dispersed resources, slow disbursement of public investment capital, localities (commune level) receiving many investment capital sources for infrastructure, causing difficulties in planning, reporting and mobilizing counterpart capital, causing overlap in management and supervision, making it difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of the Programs, reducing investment efficiency, and failing to take advantage of the complementarity between the Programs.
Unify a management and operation mechanism
Given the shortcomings, it is necessary to consolidate the three national target programs. From there, it is possible to unify a management and operation mechanism, avoiding having to do many administrative procedures, issuing many guiding documents with the same implementation content, especially at the grassroots level. At the same time, implementing unified decentralization and assigning resources to localities to do and take responsibility; the central government does not replace projects and does not approve each project.
At the same time, we carry out the same goal of improving people's lives, especially in particularly difficult areas, aiming at sustainable poverty reduction, building new rural areas that meet new, modern, comprehensive, sustainable standards, flexibly adapting to climate change, ensuring harmonious development between socio-economic development and environmental protection, preserving landscapes, cultural identity and traditional values.
In addition, the merger is also to avoid overlapping policy beneficiaries, especially investment content for poor communes, especially disadvantaged communes in ethnic minority and mountainous areas; livelihood support, vocational education , employment, housing, and migration for the poor and ethnic minorities in the same area.
Implement well the policy of concentrating resources, investing with focus, key points, prioritizing especially difficult areas. Improve the efficiency of management and use of state budget capital, as well as mobilize maximum legal resources for implementation. In line with the model of 2-level local government (province, commune), no longer district level, as at present.
Besides the advantages, the merger of the National Target Program also has some limitations and problems that need to be focused on and resolved. That is, the progress of construction and reporting to competent authorities between the Programs is different. Although the National Target Program for socio-economic development in ethnic minority and mountainous areas has some contents and projects that overlap and are similar to some contents of the National Target Program for new rural construction and sustainable poverty reduction, however, when implementing the merger, it is necessary to review and rebuild (it cannot be done by mechanical input method). At the same time, it is necessary to research, review, and redefine the objectives; scope, objects; time; re-evaluate the impact of the Program on economy, society, culture, environment, security and order; research and rebuild the orientation and principles for allocating central budget capital, etc.
Regarding procedures, the construction of a new National Target Program, on the basis of merging 3 National Target Programs, must follow procedures prescribed by the Law on Public Investment, Decree No. 85/2025/ND-CP dated April 8, 2025 of the Government detailing the implementation of a number of articles of the Law on Public Investment and other relevant regulations.
