The objective of Project 1 is to support poor and near-poor ethnic minority households living in extremely disadvantaged communes and villages that do not have land or housing or have temporary, dilapidated housing to receive support for land and construction of housing that ensures 3 hard conditions (hard foundation, hard frame - wall, hard roof) suitable to local conditions; ensure that poor and near-poor households have access to clean water according to standards issued by competent authorities; increase job creation and support job conversion suitable to the needs and conditions of ethnic minorities in the area of residence.
To achieve that goal, the People's Committee of Van Quan district has directed the district's specialized departments and units to review, survey, and propose a list of investment projects to be implemented under the National Target Program 1719; organize appraisal of the list, the necessity of investment, ensuring compliance with the Resolution of the Van Quan District Party Congress, and in accordance with the district's socio-economic development plan for the period 2021 - 2025.
Accordingly, to implement the contents of Project 1 on supporting production land, housing, and domestic water, from the beginning of 2021, the specialized departments and offices of Van Quan district have reviewed land funds to support production. However, in the district, there is no more land fund to arrange support for poor ethnic minority households lacking production land. Instead, the district has switched to supporting people to change their jobs and support the purchase of machinery and agricultural tools to serve production.
In addition, every year, based on the data of poor and near-poor households, the district directs communes and towns to organize a review of the status of substandard housing to prepare a dossier for submission to the district. The district's departments and professional departments conduct the appraisal of the dossier and advise the district People's Committee to issue a document approving and allocating capital to implement housing support for the people.
Mr. Ha Quang Thanh, Chairman of the People's Committee of Tri Le Commune, Van Quan District, said: To solve the shortage of residential land, housing, production land, and domestic water, the commune has established a team to review the situation of households in need of housing support and support for job conversion for people.
Accordingly, from 2022 to present, the commune has supported 29 households to build houses with a total cost of over 1.2 billion VND and 9 poor households to buy agricultural machinery such as plows, grinders... for production, with a total cost of 90 million VND. Thereby, contributing to supporting poor and near-poor households to feel secure in production and stabilize their lives.
Not only Tri Le commune, in recent years, communes and towns in the district have also actively implemented this content. As a result, from 2022 to the end of 2023, the whole district has supported 18 poor households lacking production land to change their jobs (purchase agricultural machinery), with a total budget of 177 million VND; supported the construction of 171 houses for poor households with a total support budget of over 6.8 billion VND. Regarding domestic water, in 2022, the district invested in building 3 centralized domestic water works in extremely difficult communes in the area; supported water tanks, pipes... for 1,114 poor households in ethnic minority areas in the district, with a total budget of over 3.1 billion VND.
In 2024, Van Quan district will continue to support housing for over 174 poor households, with a total implementation cost of over 7.6 billion VND and assigned the People's Committees of communes and towns as investors. Up to now, the District People's Committee has approved a list of 139 households in need of housing support. The authorities of communes and towns have guided households to build houses and accepted 53 houses, disbursing over 2.1 billion VND. Regarding the content of supporting production land (job conversion), the district plans to support over 120 poor households and assigns the People's Committees of communes and towns as investors to implement the project, with a total allocated budget of over 1.2 billion VND. Currently, the communes and towns are reviewing beneficiaries and have not yet disbursed.
The project to support housing, land for production, and domestic water for households has practical significance, ensuring that ethnic minority people have essential conditions for housing and domestic water. Thereby, creating motivation to help them rise out of poverty and stabilize their lives.
Mr. Hoang Van Lien, Na Chuong village, Tri Le commune said: My family has 6 members, a poor household. Previously, my family's house was not solid, the house was crowded so it was very cramped. In early 2024, my family received support from the State to build a house, up to now, the project has been completed with an area of 100 m2. From now on, my family has a solid house, I don't have to worry anymore but just focus on doing business and developing the family economy.
Ms. Hoang Thi Tuyet, Head of the Department of Labor, War Invalids, Social Affairs and Ethnic Minorities of Van Quan district said: The implementation of support for production land (job conversion), housing, and domestic water has helped stabilize life and improve the material and spiritual life of the people.
In the coming time, the Department will continue to strengthen guidance, inspection and supervision of the implementation of Project 1 according to the set plan; inspect, supervise and promptly detect difficulties and obstacles in the implementation process, thereby making recommendations and proposals to competent authorities for solutions in order to effectively implement Project 1 in particular and the National Target Program 1719 in the district in general.
