Accordingly, the set of criteria for a new-style rural commune in the 2016-2020 period covers 19 different fields with specific targets in planning, socio-economic infrastructure, economy and production, culture, society and environment.
General and specific targets in each criterion are designed to suit particular regions: northern midland and mountainous, Red River delta, northern central, south central coastal, Central Highlands, south eastern and Mekong Delta regions.
A new-style rural commune must have asphalt or concrete roads to the district downtown allowing cars to travel in all seasons. Per-capita income of locals is at between 36-50 million VND depending on each region while the rate of poor household is at 6% under the multidimensional poverty line.
The socio-economic infrastructure group comprises eight specific criteria for transportation, irrigation, electricity, school, cultural infrastructure, rural trade infrastructure, information and communications, and residential housing.
The economic and production organisation group consists four criteria on income, poor households, employed labourers, and production organisation.
The socio-cultural and environment group is focused on objectives in education and training, health care, culture, environment and food safety, political system and law access, and defence and security.
The environment and food safety criteria aims at the rate of households accessing clean water, the proportion of production and business facilities observing environmental protection regulations, as well as the ratio of sanitary bathrooms, toilets and water containers, and the number of food production facilities meeting food safety rules.
The recognised communes should also have pure and strong Party organisations and authorities, as well as locals’ good access to legal regulations, no domestic violation and adequate support to vulnerable people.
Relates ministries and agencies are in charge of issuing instructions for the guide to carry out the criteria.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development is tasked to summarise the guidance to issue a handbook and deliver it to localities. The Ministry is assigned to make advices on advanced criteria for communes that have already been recognised as a new-styled rural area.
The Prime Minister's decision will be effective from December 1, 2016, replacing the Decision 491/QD-TTg dated April 16, 2009 and Decision 342/QD-TTg on February 20, 2013 on amendments to a number of criteria on the national standards of new-styled rural
