50% of communes nationwide to meet new-style rural criteria by 2020
According to the newly-approved national target programme for building new-style rural areas, Vietnam targets to have at least 50 percent of the number of communes nationwide meeting the criteria of a new-style rural commune.
The national target programme for building new-style rural areas has been approved by the Prime Minister in Decision No. 1600/QD-TTg.
The overall goal of the programme is to build new-style rural areas with the aim to lifting the material and spiritual living standards of people, develop proper social-economic infrastructure, and reach proper economic restructure and production modes.
The programme also aims to combine agricultural development with that of urban areas, create a democratic, equal and stable rural society imbued with traditional cultural identities.
The programme’s specific goal is to have at least 50 percent of the number of communes across the country meeting the criteria of a new-style rural commune, and encourage each province and centrally-managed city to have at least one district completing the criteria of a new-style rural district.
The number of criteria completed by communes througout the country on average must increase to 15 out of 19 and no commune should have completed less than five criteria.
According to the programme, necessary infrastructures like roads, electricity, clean water, schools and medical stations will be built to meet the needs in the production and life of local people.
The quality of life of rural residents will be improved with many production models providing stable jobs for people, and income will increase at least by 1.8-fold against 2015.
To achieve these goals, the first measure recommended is to continue wide communication campaigns on building new-style areas and hold emulation movements in building new-style areas from central to grassroots levels.
The next solution is to continue perfecting the system of mechanisms and policies, review and perfect the set of criteria on building new-style areas, taking in all contents of the programme as well as reflecting the specific characteristics of each locality.
Under the programme, there will be policies for special areas with priority given to indispensable infrastructure, directly serving production in the “Restructuring agricultural sector” project.
In order to implement successfully the programme, it is necessary to diversify capital resources such as by combining the capital resources of the national target programme for sustainable poverty reduction and other projects in the locality.
In addition, provinces and cities nationwide should mobilise all available resources for the implementation of the programme.
Total State investment capital for the programme is estimated to be at least 193,155.6 billion VND (8.66 billion USD), in which 63,155.6 billion VND will be from the central budget and 130,000 billion VND from local budgets.
