Discussion offers many solutions to poverty reduction

According to the results of the review of poor and near-poor households at the end of 2023, the total number of poor households in the district was 811, accounting for 2.27%, of which poor households without the ability to work decreased to 568 households; near-poor households were 1,378 households, accounting for 3.85%.

With the goal of striving to reduce the poverty rate of the whole district to 1.9% by the end of 2024, members of the district's poverty reduction steering committee and local leaders focused on discussing and clarifying difficulties and obstacles in the process of organizing and implementing GNBV work, pointing out the existing causes and limitations, and at the same time proposing solutions for implementation in the coming time.

Accordingly, identifying GNBV work as a continuous task, requiring the participation of the entire political system and the efforts and rise of the people. In order to effectively implement the poverty reduction plans in 2024, the District Party Secretary directed local agencies and units to urgently focus on reviewing and re-reviewing poor households according to each specific criterion to determine the causes of poverty reduction, thereby having specific support plans, accurately reflecting the reality of people's lives in the locality.

From there, coordinate with relevant departments and sectors to support livelihoods, build and repair houses, provide vocational training, borrow capital, etc., evaluate the effectiveness as well as difficulties of previously implemented livelihood models to organize implementation in the coming time in line with the actual situation of the localities.

Departments, offices, communes and towns coordinate closely in disbursing capital to promptly support poor households in production; focus on promoting propaganda work to raise people's awareness to escape poverty sustainably; continue to promote socialization, diversify resources for investment, support poor and near-poor households to strive to escape poverty, contributing together with other localities in the province to soon turn Thua Thien Hue into a centrally-run city.
