To promote people's ownership in the new rural construction program, recently the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committees at all levels in the province have coordinated with local authorities to collect opinions on people's satisfaction before considering recognition of meeting standards.
People are the main subjects in building new rural areas with the motto "People know, people discuss, people do, people check, people benefit"; directly participating in specific tasks to complete the criteria for building new rural areas. Therefore, organizing the collection of opinions to assess people's satisfaction in building new rural areas is an important task that the Provincial Fatherland Front Committee has specified and guided for each content and criterion. At the same time, coordination between member organizations of the front collects opinions to assess people's satisfaction in localities.
To ensure that the consultation is objective, accurate and substantive, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committees at all levels have established working groups and held conferences to unify policies, methods and assign specific tasks to each member. In addition, they have strengthened coordination in inspection, supervision, guidance and handling of difficulties in the implementation process in communes and households. When distributing questionnaires to collect people's satisfaction, the number of questionnaires issued must reach 80% of the total number of households in the commune. The consultation is conducted openly and democratically.
Mr. Luong Van Tam, Chairman of the Fatherland Front Committee of Dien Bien district, said: To implement the construction of advanced new rural areas in Noong Het commune, the Fatherland Front Committee of the district has directed the Fatherland Front Committee of the commune to coordinate with the People's Committee of the commune and socio-political organizations to organize conferences to deploy and guide the Front working committees of villages and hamlets to establish working groups to propagate to each household the purpose and requirements of the ballot. The opinions were collected to assess the satisfaction with the results of building new rural areas with nearly 1,800/1,899 households in the area. The results of the ballot for each question, the satisfaction of the people reached from 85 - 99%. The results were publicly posted at the People's Committee of the commune and announced on the loudspeaker system for people to know and monitor.
Mr. Dao Duc Dong, a resident of Hop Thanh village, Noong Het commune, said: “During the process of building new rural areas and advanced new rural areas, the district and commune Fatherland Front Committees have organized to collect opinions and assess people's satisfaction. I am very satisfied with the criteria that the commune and village have achieved, especially the rural traffic infrastructure. When the commune had a policy to build a traffic road, I discussed with my family to donate garden land to build a traffic road, helping people in the village to travel conveniently."
In addition, collecting people's opinions also aims to promptly overcome shortcomings and limitations in the process of building new rural areas. A typical example is Pa Khoang commune, Dien Bien Phu city, after collecting people's opinions, the commune was recognized as meeting new rural standards in 2023. Besides the majority of opinions in agreement, there are some opinions that are not satisfied with some degraded roads that affect people's travel; canals are not guaranteed; there is no cultural house; the commune does not have a market or place to buy and sell; the rate of unemployed people is high.
According to Mr. Le Van Vien, Vice Chairman of the Fatherland Front Committee of Dien Bien Phu City, based on the contents that people are not satisfied with, the Fatherland Front Committee of the city together with the local government grasped the thoughts and aspirations of the people to analyze the causes. At the same time, it recommended the Steering Committee of the National Target Program on New Rural Construction of the city and related departments and branches to have solutions to support the locality to overcome and implement better. Thanks to that, the people agreed and supported.
In 2023, the whole province will have 4 communes striving to meet advanced NTM standards and 2 communes striving to meet NTM standards (currently submitting for the province's opinion). To ensure democracy and objectivity in NTM construction, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committees of the communes have implemented the collection of opinions on people's satisfaction with the implementation results. The collection of opinions at the grassroots level is organized in the form of meetings or directly visiting each household, focusing on the following contents: Rural roads; school facilities, cultural houses; people's income; households participating in health insurance; security and order work... Through the collection of opinions, basically all households agree with the results of NTM construction in the area.
To date, the province has 23 communes meeting the NTM standards and 153 villages and hamlets meeting the NTM and model NTM standards. According to the Dien Bien Provincial Fatherland Front Committee, the organization of collecting people's opinions on the satisfaction of the NTM construction results is currently carried out according to Instruction No. 90 dated September 20, 2022 of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, after the authorities at each level have implemented the procedures and documents to request recognition of the NTM construction results. In general, through the survey on the level of satisfaction with the NTM construction in the province, most people have fully answered the questions according to the survey criteria group. After the posting and public announcement period, there have been no comments or questions about the issue of collecting people's opinions on the results of the NTM construction.
Organizing to collect people's opinions and satisfaction is not to complete procedures according to regulations but to grasp people's thoughts, aspirations, proposals and promote their role as masters. Thereby, expressing people's will, aspirations and supervision participation in building new rural areas according to the motto "People know, people discuss, people do, people check, people supervise, people benefit".
