Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment Vo Thi Nhung reported on the implementation results of the National Target Program on Sustainable Poverty Reduction.

Currently, the National Target Program on Sustainable Poverty Reduction is implementing 7 projects and a number of sub-projects; including projects to support investment in developing socio -economic infrastructure in poor areas; diversifying livelihoods, developing poverty reduction models; supporting production development, improving nutrition; developing vocational education and sustainable employment; supporting housing for poor and near-poor households, etc.

In addition, Nghe An province has actively promoted the socialization of resources mobilized for poverty reduction, promoted the emulation movement "For the poor - No one is left behind"; campaigns and support for the "Fund for the poor", the "Tet for the poor" program, the program to support housing construction for poor households, households with housing difficulties and mobilized resources to support livelihoods, support people to escape poverty were organized to create a spread among the people.

After implementing the 2-level local government model (province and commune), the Provincial People's Committee has directed strongly to ensure the implementation of the National Target Program on Sustainable Poverty Reduction takes place continuously and without interruption. The transfer of tasks and projects from the district level to the provincial level has been carried out closely, with specific instructions, thanks to which the activities being implemented locally have been maintained stably.

However, the progress of disbursement of capital for the National Target Program on Sustainable Poverty Reduction is still slow, especially in the current period when the whole country is implementing the 2-level local government model, the officials in charge of poverty reduction are mostly new to the program and are still confused in implementing the program. The officials in charge of poverty reduction at communes and wards are mostly newly assigned and assigned new tasks, lack experience and hold many concurrent positions, so they do not have time to grasp and coordinate implementation, especially in researching and understanding new documents in 2025....

Head of the Culture - Social Committee, Provincial People's Council Chu Duc Thai proposed to review and re-evaluate projects; replicate effective economic development models from the capital source of the National Target Program on Sustainable Poverty Reduction.

Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Phung Thanh Vinh emphasized that thanks to the attention of the Provincial People's Council and the proactive direction and management of the Provincial People's Committee, the National Target Program on Sustainable Poverty Reduction has achieved positive results, contributing to the socio-economic development of the province.

In the coming time, the Provincial People's Committee will direct the Departments and branches to review the projects, thereby proposing projects that are suitable to the actual situation, avoiding fragmented and scattered investments, in accordance with the planning of the communes. The Provincial People's Committee will accept the opinions of the monitoring team to continue to urge and direct the Departments, branches and localities to effectively implement the Program.
