On September 20, the working delegation of the Nationalities Council of the 15th National Assembly, led by Vice Chairman Quang Van Huong, had a working session in Dak Glong district and conducted a field survey in Quang Son commune (Dak Glong district).
The working content of the Working Group is the implementation of policies and laws on land and forest allocation; forest protection and development associated with creating stable livelihoods, improving the lives of communities and households in ethnic minority and mountainous areas, period 2019 - 2023 in Dak Glong district.
Dak Glong district has over 63,500 hectares of forest land, with a coverage rate of 43.92%. Currently, Dak Glong district has allocated over 510 hectares of forestry land to communities, households and individuals.
Of which, over 486 hectares of forest land were allocated to two residential communities in R'But and N'Doh hamlets; 24.28 hectares of forest land were allocated to four local ethnic minority households.
Thanks to support policies such as payment for forest environmental services and forest management and protection contracts, many local ethnic minority households have had additional income and significantly improved their living standards.
However, the work of land allocation, forest allocation, forest protection management in Dak Glong district also faces many difficulties such as encroachment of forestry land; lack of financial resources for forest development and some support policies are still not consistent.
In addition, communities and households that contract forests sometimes face difficulties in management due to small, fragmented areas and complex terrain conditions.
During the survey, members of the Working Group discussed and requested localities to clarify some issues regarding the results of land and forest allocation; the effectiveness of land and forest allocation to households; difficulties and obstacles in organizing forest protection; income of households participating in forest protection...
At the survey, Dak G'long District People's Committee recommended that the National Assembly, the Government and relevant ministries and branches review and adjust policies on land and forest allocation.
This aims to increase financial support and mechanisms for sustainable forest development, ensuring the livelihoods of local people.
The results of the survey on the implementation of policies and laws on land allocation, forest allocation, forest protection and management in the district are the basis for the Ethnic Council to advise the National Assembly to issue policies that are appropriate and close to local realities.
From there, create stable livelihoods, improve the lives of communities and households in ethnic minority and mountainous areas, period 2019 - 2023 in the coming time.
