Identifying the support for eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses for poor households, near-poor households, and households with meritorious services to the revolution as one of the important and urgent political tasks, Binh Dinh province has established Steering Committees at all levels, thereby assigning members of the provincial Steering Committee to be in charge of each locality, and at the district level, assigning the task to the district-level Secretary to be responsible for the entire implementation process in the locality. Districts, towns, and cities urgently, actively, and speed up the implementation progress of support for eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses according to the direction of the province; basically achieving and exceeding the proposed phased plan.

At the conference, lessons learned in implementing the Program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses were pointed out as follows: In localities where the Head of the Steering Committee, the head of the Party Committee and the government pay attention and give strong direction, and in localities with high determination and great efforts, the results of eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses are very high, the results of mobilizing resources and forces to support people in eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses are very favorable, and it is completely possible to complete the target earlier than planned. Along with that, localities that do a good job of propaganda, mobilization and persuasion will receive consensus, response and active participation from the entire political system, and the willingness of people to contribute their efforts, money and efforts in implementing the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses in the area. If the Steering Committee Heads at all levels at the local level have clear division of labor, decentralization, and assignment of tasks, there will be initiative, creativity, and flexibility in implementation, with high results in eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses, and no difficulties or problems arising during the implementation process.
