Help people overcome difficulties and rise up
Tuy Duc is one of the most disadvantaged districts in Dak Nong province. Over the years, the locality has benefited from many policies and programs, contributing to changing this difficult land.
In which, the National Target Program on Sustainable Poverty Reduction is one of the programs that the locality has been implementing effectively.
Mr. Nguyen Cat Ngoc Son, Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Tam Commune, Tuy Duc District, said that from the program's capital, the locality actively coordinated with relevant units to build new and repair houses for poor and near-poor households.
In the coming time, the People's Committee of Quang Tam commune will continue to innovate propaganda and mobilization work, arousing the spirit of solidarity and mutual love.
In addition to state resources, localities also call on agencies and units to actively support to have more resources to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses.
In Dak Glong district, Mr. Doan Van Phuong, Vice Chairman of the District People's Committee, said that thanks to promoting propaganda work, people have basically grasped the Party and State's policies and guidelines on poverty reduction.
The people themselves, poor and near-poor households are increasingly conscious of making efforts to escape poverty, gradually reducing the mindset of relying on State support.
According to the assessment, by promoting the integration of the National Target Programs with many projects and sub-projects under the Sustainable Poverty Reduction Program, the poverty reduction targets for the 2021-2025 period have basically met and exceeded the set plan.
