Government directs allocating capital for new rural area programme in 2016
Thu Minh 14:30, 2016/01/24
The Prime Minister has asked the People’s Committees of provinces and centrally-run cities to allocate the State budget for the implementation of the national target programme on building new-style rural areas this year.
Accordingly, the State budget will be prioritised for communes meeting extreme difficulties, and border, island and coastal communes.
In particular, resources will be allocated to the communes which had achieved only below five out of the 19 criteria set for being recognised as new-style rural areas.
Proper investment will be prioritised for communes that had achieved over 15 out of the 19 set criteria, especially those communes that have yet completed such fundamental infrastructure as roads, electricity network, school, clinic stations, water supply facilities, and irrigation work.
Vietnam targets to reach 50% of all communes nationwide meeting all the requirements at the end of 2020.
