Dak Nong will establish a team to inspect the progress and quality of projects.

“There are still 3 months left until the end of 2024, with their roles and responsibilities, investors must be decisive and resolute. The Provincial People's Committee will establish a team to inspect the progress and quality of the projects,” Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Dak Nong Provincial People's Committee Ho Van Muoi directed at the meeting of the Steering Committee for the implementation of national target programs on the morning of September 27.

In the first 9 months of the year, the rate of investment capital disbursement in Dak Nong is still low.

At the conference, investors focused on reporting progress and difficulties in implementing projects under national target programs.

Regarding the new rural program, Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Pham Tuan Anh said that the capital to implement the 3 programs has so far disbursed 574/976 billion VND, reaching 58.9%.

Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Pham Tuan Anh emphasized that the biggest difficulty in implementing new rural areas is still the lack of counterpart capital.

“The biggest difficulty in building new rural areas is still counterpart funding. The total counterpart funding in 3 years is 427 billion VND, but there is currently a shortage of 45 billion VND that localities have not transferred. The lack of counterpart funding greatly affects the capital disbursement rate,” said Mr. Pham Tuan Anh.

Regarding the Sustainable Development Program for Ethnic Minority Areas, Deputy Head of the Ethnic Minority Committee Nguyen Ngoc Thach said that a total of 190/370 billion VND from 3 sources cannot be disbursed, including: capital for forest protection and development, capital for vocational training, and capital for ethnic development with specific difficulties.

Deputy Head of the Ethnic Minority Committee Nguyen Ngoc Thach reported on the progress, difficulties and obstacles of the Sustainable Development Program for Ethnic Minority Areas.

“There are 3 districts with low disbursement rates, with a new rate of 29-32%, including: Dak Glong, Dak R'lap, Gia Nghia. We propose that the districts that have not fully disbursed be transferred to localities with good disbursement progress such as: Krong No, Dak Mil, Tuy Duc,” Mr. Thach proposed.

Regarding the transfer of capital, Director of the Department of Planning and Investment Tran Dinh Ninh said that investors are determined to disburse all capital in 2022 and 2023. The remaining capital in 2024 can be transferred to 2025.

Director of the Department of Planning and Investment Tran Dinh Ninh said that the districts should review all completed projects. The departments and branches should quickly settle accounts to create conditions for the districts to fully disburse.

“The case of transferring funds is also very difficult. Because it is not certain that there will be projects waiting to be disbursed in 2024. Therefore, the districts will review all completed projects. Departments and branches will quickly settle accounts to create conditions for the districts to disburse all funds,” Mr. Ninh emphasized.

Regarding national target programs, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Van Chien requested investors to be resolute and determined.

“Where there are difficulties, we will report them to resolve them. For any project that has completed its documents, we will definitely start working on it. The focal departments will balance and arrange for the districts to meet the requirements proposed by the localities. The localities will be proactive and flexible to immediately start implementing,” directed Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Le Van Chien.

Concluding the conference, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Ho Van Muoi affirmed that the disbursement of public investment capital in general and the three national target programs in particular was low mainly due to subjective reasons.

Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Ho Van Muoi requested localities to be more determined in disbursing investment capital.

The low results show that the coordination between departments, branches and localities is still inadequate. Meanwhile, all issues in public investment and disbursement of national target programs have been directed by the Provincial People's Committee.

“Investors should review and resolutely do whatever is within the district or province’s authority. For any project that is beyond their authority or cannot be done, investors should promptly report to the Provincial People’s Committee to propose returning it. Avoid the situation of “waiting until the water reaches your feet before jumping” at the end of the year,” Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Ho Van Muoi directed.

As of September 11, public investment capital has been disbursed VND 1,234 billion , reaching 37 % of the plan assigned by the province . Of which, the disbursement of 3 national target programs alone is VND 1,555 billion, reaching 50.7%. Up to now, Dak Nong has 14 investors with disbursement rates above the average of the whole province, 16 investors with disbursement rates below the average of the whole province.
