Mr. Duong Quang Phuc - Chairman of Sa Thay District People's Committee raised difficulties and obstacles in the implementation of National Target Program 1719, specifically: The disbursement rate of career capital is low compared to the allocated capital. The content of supporting production land under Project 1 cannot be implemented because Clause 6, Article 1, Circular 02/2023/TT-UBDT, dated August 21, 2023, stipulates the implementation method is not suitable for the current conditions of the locality; Sub-project 1, Project 3 (sustainable development of agricultural and forestry economy) has a very low capital disbursement rate (estimated by the end of 2024 to reach about 9.36% of the total capital plan from 2022-2024); Implementing rice subsidies for people in difficulty due to the lack of specific regulations on the subjects receiving subsidies and the subsidy level; Sub-project 1 and Project 5 have limited funding for literacy education, so they cannot fully disburse the allocated capital...
The Chairman of the People's Committee of Sa Thay district proposed that in the coming period, the Central Government should consider increasing the level of support for forest planting to create conditions for people to feel secure in planting and caring for forests, stabilizing their lives thanks to forests; having a mechanism to support the development of medicinal herbs under the forest canopy. Prioritize capital sources for Project 2 to stabilize the population in ethnic minority areas, helping ethnic minorities stabilize their housing and work with peace of mind.
On behalf of the working delegation, Mr. Ha Viet Quan - Head of Department, Chief of Office of National Target Program 1719, acknowledged the proposals of the People's Committee of Sa Thay district. At the same time, he highly appreciated the process of organizing and implementing the National Target Program 1719 in the district. The disbursement of investment capital was relatively good, ethnic minority households have benefited from timely support programs. The appearance of the countryside has improved a lot.
The Chief of the Office of the National Target Program 1719 Coordination also requested the People's Committee of Sa Thay district to develop a plan, roadmap, and specific goals for the implementation of the National Target Program 1719; developing a plan will help the locality lead and direct more effectively. The district is interested in strengthening information and propaganda work to raise people's awareness and create consensus among people in the process of implementing the National Target Program 1719.
Pay attention to and integrate support for poor ethnic minority households to escape poverty sustainably, avoiding the situation where households escape poverty but then fall back into poverty. Strengthen inspection and supervision during the implementation process to ensure that the National Target Program 1719 is implemented effectively and promptly remove difficulties and obstacles for localities during the implementation process.
