Implementing the Party's policy, on April 13, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, Chairman of the Central Emulation and Reward Council, launched the emulation movement "Joining hands to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses nationwide in 2025", striving to complete the goal 5 years ahead of the Party's Resolution.
The movement has been actively responded to and strongly implemented by the Vietnam Fatherland Front, ministries, branches, localities, enterprises and individuals. With many forms of support, up to now, many new houses meet the "3 hard" standards: hard foundation, hard frame - wall, hard roof, house life of 20 years or more/completed.
At this program, representatives of ministries, localities, businesses, and philanthropists donated funds to support localities facing difficulties. According to the Organizing Committee, the total amount of money raised by the end of the program was VND5,932 billion , of which VND3,287 billion was raised during the program and 61 localities raised VND2,645 billion .
Speaking at the program, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized that 2025 is the year to celebrate the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Indochinese Communist Party (now the Communist Party of Vietnam); 50 years of the liberation of the South and national reunification; 80 years of the founding of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam; 135 years of the birth of President Ho Chi Minh, the great national hero and world cultural celebrity; and to hold Party Congresses at all levels, towards the 14th National Party Congress.
Our people have a saying: “Settling down and having a career”. The Party and State’s policies and guidelines are very clear: Do not sacrifice fairness, social progress, social security and the environment to pursue mere growth; do everything to make people’s lives increasingly prosperous and happy.
Implementing the Party's major policies and the people's conclusions, in order to celebrate the important events of our country in 2025, on April 13, 2024, in Da Bac district, Hoa Binh province, the Prime Minister, together with comrade Do Van Chien, Chairman of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, launched the emulation movement "The whole country joins hands to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses" nationwide in 2025.
The movement is very suitable to the actual situation of the country and immediately after its launch, it was enthusiastically responded to by the whole country and people at home and abroad, bringing practical results to the poor.
On behalf of the Party and State leaders, the Prime Minister acknowledged, highly appreciated and sincerely thanked the noble gestures and important contributions of compatriots and comrades nationwide, ministries, branches and localities to this emulation movement of profound humanistic significance.
The Prime Minister emphasized that from now until the end of 2025, there are only about 450 days and nights left to complete the goal of eliminating all temporary and dilapidated houses; the amount of work is huge, requiring us to be even more determined if we are determined, to make even more efforts if we are trying, and to be even more effective if we are effective.
The Prime Minister called on the entire political system, compatriots, comrades, and business community nationwide to continue to join hands, join efforts, and unite, to accelerate and make further breakthroughs with national sentiment, compatriotism, and the spirit of "mutual love and affection", "whoever has something helps, whoever has property helps property, whoever has merit helps merit, whoever has a lot helps a lot, whoever has a little helps a little", to implement the Party's great policy of leaving no one behind in the era of national development, to quickly complete the goal of eliminating all temporary and dilapidated houses for compatriots, especially compatriots in remote areas, ethnic minority areas, border areas, and islands.
At the same time, the Prime Minister noted that during the implementation process, it is necessary to strengthen inspection and supervision to prevent corruption and negativity in the implementation of this movement.
Minister of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs Dao Ngoc Dung said that in recent years, more than 1.7 million houses have been newly built and repaired for the poor and those in difficult circumstances. Up to now, through inspection, the whole country still has about 400 thousand temporary houses, dilapidated houses, not ensuring "3 solid" or lacking in quality.
Implementing the movement launched by the Prime Minister, we are currently in a 450-day and night peak campaign to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses in 2025, with the goal of completing all three major tasks: (i) Supporting housing for people with meritorious services facing housing difficulties (about 200,000 houses remaining) using the state budget; (ii) Supporting housing for the poor and ethnic minorities according to national target programs (about 88,000 houses remaining); (iii) eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses for people outside the above two support groups (including 153,881 temporary and dilapidated houses of poor and near-poor households with a minimum budget of about 6,500 billion VND).
To complete this work, the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs proposes new methods and approaches, thereby promoting the spirit of self-reliance of localities, dividing localities into 4 groups, the economically developed group will take responsibility; the disadvantaged and poor groups will have mechanisms to mobilize resources and provide appropriate support.
At the same time, propose competent authorities to allow the use of 5% savings in regular expenditures in 2024 of local and central budgets together with socialized resources to implement in a way that both assigns and assigns support targets by address so that localities have conditions to support other localities; mobilize and assign ministries, agencies, banks, and enterprises to directly support disadvantaged and poor localities.
Along with that, mobilizing the joint efforts, consensus, and participation of the entire political system, business community, and people, spreading widely throughout society and the community.
According to the Minister, eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses is one of the breakthrough and revolutionary tasks, a major policy, of special importance and profound humanity in the spirit of Resolution No. 42 of the Central Committee, striving for Vietnam to become a pioneer country in the United Nations' social policy and decent and sustainable employment. This is a historic and important time to implement this program, a strong mark of the superiority of socialism, demonstrating the sense of compatriotism and the noble humanity of the Vietnamese people.
