Overview of the supervisory session.

Speaking at the end of the oversight session, Provincial Party Secretary Bui Minh Chau praised the Provincial People’s Committee for ordering localities to fully implement the National Target Programs. All projects had rather good outcomes, due to donations from all levels, sectors, and localities, as well as public support. This is a program that has a significant influence on ethnic minorities, transforming hilly and particularly tough areas.

Regarding upcoming tasks, Provincial Party Secretary Bui Minh Chau requested that the Provincial People’s Committee direct departments, branches, and localities to review all mechanisms and policies supporting the implementation of the National Target Programs to ensure the right goals, tasks, and investment efficiency. The Provincial People’s Committee must direct and evaluate the specific results of each target group and project task in each program, clearly defining the tasks of each governing agency, coordinating agency, and district and commune-level units to ensure synchronization and timely resolution of arising problems. During the execution of the National Target Program, not at all costs, but must maintain regulatory compliance; Projects that still have issues and lack instructions from ministries and branches will not be implemented; prevent loss and waste; Improper resource movement between programs can easily lead to blunders and personnel loss.

To properly administer the program, the Provincial People’s Committee appoints qualified authorities and specialized agencies to advise and execute it. In addition to guaranteeing timely implementation, it is critical to strengthen inspection and inspection activities, with the ultimate objective of improving people’s lives.

Provincial Party Secretary Bui Minh Chau also directed the province’s departments and branches to summarize the problems encountered while implementing the National Target Programs for the People’s Council and the Provincial National Assembly Delegation to consider and recommend to the National Assembly and the Government for guidance and adjustments to local realities.
