Concluding the conference, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Lai The Nguyen acknowledged and highly appreciated the spirit of determination, resolve and responsibility of the Standing Committees of the District Party Committees of mountainous districts in directing the implementation of the campaign to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses.

However, through the opinions expressed at the conference, it is shown that in the coming time, the implementation of housing construction for the subjects is still very large, on average from now until October 30, 2025, the whole province must complete an average of 43 houses per day, which is not a small number. If there is no determination and resoluteness, it will not be completed.

After two implementation phases, 7 groups of difficulties emerged that need to be resolved: The total unallocated budget of all three levels is still very large; the total budget that needs to be mobilized is also very large; mountainous districts still have 8,977 households that need support to build new houses or repair houses; the list of households sent to the province still has many errors, in addition, the districts' reports to the province are still slow; some districts have problems with land procedures; the mobilization of organizations, individuals, and unions in some localities to support construction workdays is not very good; the implementation of the program to stabilize the population, prevent flash floods and landslides under Project 4845 is slow to disburse.

On the basis of pointing out the remaining problems, the Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee requested that after this conference, 11 mountainous districts must accurately review the list of households in need of support, report to the Department of Ethnic Minorities and Religions - the standing agency of the Provincial Steering Committee and the Provincial Fatherland Front Committee to submit to the Provincial People's Committee to report to the Provincial Steering Committee for direction and resolution.

After this conference, the Department of Ethnic Minorities and Religions received the handover of work and tasks from the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department and the Provincial Fatherland Front Committee.

The Provincial Fatherland Front Committee, based on the list of the Provincial People's Committee, will promptly allocate the support funds for the districts to implement according to regulations and monitor and supervise the use of funds, as well as the general progress of the whole province. At the same time, it is responsible for advising the Provincial Steering Committee to issue a document requesting the lowland districts to allocate funds for building houses in the district to allocate all, if there is any remaining funds, transfer them to the province for allocation to the mountainous districts.

In addition, the Provincial Fatherland Front Committee is responsible for urging districts, units, businesses and benefactors who have registered to support the transfer of funds.

Regarding land issues, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Lai The Nguyen assigned the Department of Agriculture and Environment to guide districts to resolve difficulties and obstacles to implement housing construction for people. Regarding the problems in disbursing capital sources of the poverty reduction program and the socio-economic development program for mountainous districts, the Department of Ethnic Minorities and Religions was assigned to study and guide districts to resolve them.
