Deputy Director of the Department of Ethnic Minorities and Religions Nay H'Nan spoke

At the meeting, members of the Survey Team highly appreciated the leading role of the Department of Agriculture and Environment in implementing two key programs, especially in the context of the locality facing many difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic, administrative unit mergers and lack of investment resources.

In addition, the Delegation also pointed out shortcomings such as: the progress of issuing guidance documents is still slow, the disbursement rate is not high, the review of poor households in some places is still inadequate, and the maintenance of new rural results is not really sustainable.

Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment Nguyen Minh Huan spoke at the meeting.

Concluding the working session, Deputy Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation Le Dao An Xuan highly appreciated the implementation results of the Department of Agriculture and Environment in recent times; at the same time, shared the difficulties the industry encountered in the process of organizing the implementation of national target programs.

The Deputy Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation requested the Department of Agriculture and Environment to continue completing the report, focusing on clarifying difficulties, obstacles and policy recommendations so that the Provincial National Assembly Delegation can synthesize and send them to the National Assembly and the Government to serve the process of building and adjusting policies for the next phase.

Deputy Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation Le Dao An Xuan spoke at the meeting.

In particular, the Deputy Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation proposed to build and design national target programs in a framework and with openness, so that localities can proactively and flexibly implement them in accordance with actual conditions; decentralize, clearly define authority, shorten administrative procedures, and switch from "pre-inspection to post-inspection" to facilitate the implementation process.

Along with that, focus on investing in sustainable production models, associated with cooperatives; pay attention to the practicality of income and poor household criteria that must be suitable to the characteristics of regions and ethnic minorities. For propaganda work, it is necessary to innovate methods and apply digital technology to improve the effectiveness of reaching people, avoiding formalities and spreading like in the previous period.
