Gia Lai speeds up implementation of "growth contracts"

This is also the first time that localities in the Western region have been assigned socio -economic targets and specific tasks, marking a new step in management methods, promoting the initiative and creativity of each commune and ward.

New scenario, high responsibility

Immediately after receiving the targets, communes and wards reviewed potential, determined growth potential and built detailed scenarios, linking the responsibility of the head with the implementation progress.

Mr. Nguyen Duc Toan - Chairman of Quy Nhon Ward People's Committee - said: The locality was assigned the target of increasing product value by 12% in the last 6 months of the year, and 10.4% for the whole year. The growth pillars are determined in industry - construction - increasing by 11.3% and services - increasing by 10.7%.

In particular, the ward considers the night economy a new breakthrough, through the Nguyen Thien Thuat culinary street model, expecting to create more revenue and jobs, while promoting sustainable tourism activities.

Sustainable poverty reduction - need the right and effective solutions

Besides growth, border communes and remote areas face difficulties and challenges in the sustainable poverty reduction program. This is not an easy task when the poverty rate is still high and infrastructure is not synchronized.

However, it can also be seen that "poverty reduction contracts" force local authorities to shift from the mindset of "asking for policies" to "designing solutions themselves", meaning that there is no longer a common model, but there must be policies for each household and a commitment to implementation.

Lo Pang commune currently has 581 poor households, accounting for 14.2% of the total households in the commune; of which 85% are ethnic minorities. The commune aims to reduce the number of poor households by 4.76% (about 30 households) by the end of this year. Mr. Le Loi - Chairman of the Commune People's Committee - said: Most poor households fall into the income-deprived group, so the main solution is to support the livelihood of the group with the ability to rise up.

For the group of poor households due to illness and labor shortage, Lo Pang commune has developed a specific plan. Along with that, the commune mobilizes maximum resources from national target programs, production support projects and socialization, ensuring that 100% of poor households have access to at least one form of support.

Meanwhile, the poverty reduction target for Ya Ma commune in 2025 is 9.87% (equivalent to 186 households). Chairman of the People's Committee Trinh Minh Duong emphasized that the key solution is to support production land, provide capital, provide vocational training associated with employment, and implement small-scale production projects.

“However, poor infrastructure is a major obstacle in the journey to sustainable poverty reduction. Therefore, in addition to livelihood solutions, the commune has proposed that the province soon invest in building Dak Po Ko bridge and an underground spillway across Dak Hway river in Brang village. When completed, these projects will not only ensure traffic safety but also expand access to social services and markets for people in remote areas,” Mr. Duong shared.
