In recent times, Quang Ninh province has paid attention, created favorable conditions in terms of policies and resources, promoted socio-economic development, and gradually narrowed the development gap in ethnic minority areas in the area.
In recent years, Quang Ninh province has paid much attention, through policies, to practically support ethnic minorities. For example, in Bang Ca commune (Ha Long city), 92% of whom are Dao Thanh Y, people have recently been supported with seeds and capital; priority has been given to infrastructure development, promoting local potential advantages through developing tourism models, growing medicinal herbs, and raising livestock. The commune has received attention from Ha Long city in investing in roads and schools, creating more jobs and increasing income for people.
Not only providing resources to localities, the province has also organized and implemented programs and policies of the Party and State for ethnic minority and mountainous areas, contributing to promoting socio-economic development. Currently, Quang Ninh has more than 40 ethnic minorities, accounting for 12.31% of the province's population. Ethnic minorities live in communities and intermingle in 13 localities in the province, mainly in mountainous and border areas. Therefore, since the 3rd Congress of Ethnic Minorities (2019) up to now, the entire political system has made efforts and determination to bring ethnic minority areas up, narrowing the development gap between regions.
First of all, this work has received comprehensive attention from Party committees and authorities at all levels through the issuance of many decisions and documents guiding the implementation of ethnic policies; many mechanisms and policies for socio-economic development in ethnic minority areas. The Provincial Party Committee has issued resolutions on sustainable socio-economic development associated with ensuring national defense and security in ethnic minority areas.
The Provincial People's Council also issued resolutions on mechanisms and policies; the Provincial People's Committee also had specific instructions to link Resolution 06-NQ/TU with national target programs. At the local level, the Party Committee and the government were also timely, creative, and innovative in organizing implementation, promoting all resources, exploiting potentials and advantages for sustainable socio-economic development of ethnic minority areas. The province assigned localities to focus on implementing 414 essential infrastructure investment projects supported by the provincial budget, including 121 projects under the Ethnic Minority Master Program and 293 projects under the New Rural Development Program.
Thereby, it has contributed to change, arousing the will of self-reliance, the desire for innovation and development of the people, creating endogenous resources to rapidly change the face of the countryside, improving the material and spiritual life of the people. Ethnic people boldly participate in production development, are dynamic, industrious, do not rely on the support of the State, are not afraid to experiment with new livelihood models, bringing high economic value and increasing income.
Thanks to the above efforts, the appearance and socio-economic life of ethnic minorities in Quang Ninh province have changed a lot. 100% of communes in ethnic minority, mountainous and border areas have asphalted or concreted roads; 100% of roads from commune centers to villages and hamlets are concreted according to new rural criteria; 64/64 communes have medical stations meeting national health criteria; 100% of households in communes and hamlets have access to the national electricity grid.
Some localities have initially developed agricultural and forestry production areas with high added value such as medicinal plants, timber and non-timber products, crops and livestock associated with the OCOP program. The average income per capita in ethnic minority and mountainous areas is high compared to ethnic minority areas nationwide, the rate of poor and near-poor households has decreased rapidly and sustainably.
