In particular, for projects without funds for site clearance or limited investment capital, the District People's Committee has assigned cadres and party members to the area to both propagate and mobilize, and listen to the people's thoughts, aspirations and opinions to provide satisfactory answers.

Talking to us, Mr. Thung Van Hom and Mr. Sung A Cua happily said: For farmers, "every inch of land is gold", land is the livelihood to support the family, but compared to the benefits from the traffic works and cultural houses serving the local people, my family's contribution is also very meaningful. I am very proud to have contributed a small part to building my homeland to change more and more.

Not only actively donating land for construction projects, farmers in Nam Po district have proactively converted crops to bring high economic efficiency, gradually reducing poverty sustainably.

"Organize conferences, provide specific instructions on propaganda content with the motto of openness, transparency, and slow and steady wins the race... in which we take the spirit of the cadres and party members who went first; actively mobilize and explain so that households can see the benefits of expanding the roads and as a result, we have received the support and consensus of hundreds of households who have personally removed fences, cleared trees, and donated land to open roads with the desire to contribute their efforts to building their homeland," Mr. Khai added.

Leaders of Cha Nua commune inspected the progress of the Cau village cultural house project, built on an area of ​​over 1,000 square ^meters, with land voluntarily donated by the people of Cau village.
