According to the report, the province's total public investment plan for 2024 is VND 9,863,464 million. The cumulative disbursement of the 2024 capital plan up to November 12, 2024 is VND 5,991,738 million, reaching 60.75% of the total public investment plan (reaching 69.15% of the capital allocated from the beginning of 2024).
Particularly for the capital of 3 national target programs, the central budget disbursed more than 300 billion VND, reaching 67.81%. Of which: The national target program for new rural construction was 177,863 billion VND, reaching 68.23%; The national target program for sustainable poverty reduction was nearly 95 billion VND, reaching 80.5%; The national target program for socio-economic development in ethnic minority and mountainous areas was more than 27 billion VND, reaching 42.66%.
According to the People's Committee of An Giang province, although the province's disbursement rate is higher than the national average, it is still lower than the requirement. The reason is that in the process of implementing and disbursing capital, there are still some difficulties such as: Compensation and site clearance continue to be the biggest bottleneck in the process of implementing projects that require site clearance, especially projects in the fields of transport and agriculture with large capital plans.
In addition, during the implementation process, problems arose that required adjustments to project procedures... This led to slow disbursement; project implementation and management were not proactive.
In addition, the source of sand materials is still facing difficulties. Currently, the sand supply for projects is not enough compared to the demand and implementation progress, especially for key transportation projects.
To speed up the implementation progress and disbursement of the entire state budget capital in 2024, the Chairman of the An Giang Provincial People's Committee requested the Heads, heads of local Party committees, authorities, agencies and units to be proactive, resolute and highly determined in directing; closely, regularly, continuously and effectively inspect and supervise the progress of implementation of programs and projects managed by their units and localities; regularly hold meetings to promptly remove bottlenecks and obstacles in implementation.
Investors develop detailed plans and progress for each project, strengthen inspection and supervision, grasp project progress, especially for projects with large capital allocations, which have a major impact on the disbursement rate of public investment capital, and report weekly to promptly direct the removal of difficulties and obstacles (if any); improve coordination with relevant agencies and units in the implementation and disbursement of public investment capital, in which the investor is identified as the main responsible unit, and the coordinating units are responsible according to their assigned functions and tasks.
Regarding the reasons for limiting the disbursement of the 2024 public investment capital plan, specifically regarding the supply of materials: An Giang Provincial People's Committee assigned the Department of Natural Resources and Environment to continue reviewing sand mines. In addition to serving the province's key projects, there should be plans for public investment projects.
Regarding compensation for site clearance, the policy is to synchronously deploy propaganda, mobilization and good implementation of site clearance policies to create consensus among people on compensation and resettlement support plans when the state reclaims land to implement projects. In case the landowner does not comply with the land reclamation decision after being mobilized and persuaded, the procedures for compulsory land reclamation must be carried out in accordance with regulations.
Regarding investment procedures, An Giang Provincial People's Committee assigned the Department of Planning and Investment to review, identify specific limitations and causes, research solutions, synthesize, and advise the Provincial People's Committee to issue written instructions.
