After more than four years, the rate of poor households in Quảng Ngãi province decreased from 9 per cent to 2.5 per cent.
In recent years, along with the national target programs on building new countryside, the socio-economic development program in ethnic minority areas and the national target program on sustainable poverty reduction have contributed to creating positive changes in socio-economic development, improving the living conditions of the poor, especially those in mountainous and ethnic minority areas in Quảng Ngãi.
In the period of 2021-2025, the total resources mobilized to implement national target programs in Quảng Ngãi is more than VNĐ 7,000 billion. The province has synchronously implemented projects under these programs, focusing on investment in socio-economic infrastructure in poor and remote districts.
The rate of poor households according to the multidimensional poverty line in the province has decreased steadily year by year, with an average decrease of 1.76 per cent per year, exceeding the target of 0.26 per cent assigned by the Central Government.
The rate of poor households among ethnic minorities decreased by an average of 6.42 per cent per year. In poor districts, this rate decreased by an average of 9.25 per cent per year, exceeding the target of 4.75 per cent assigned by the Central Government.
According to statistics, the rate of poor households in the province in the period 2021-2025 is expected to decrease from 9 per cent to 2.5 per cent by the end of 2025.
The living quality of the poor has been improved, with developed infrastructure. Many models of production, livelihood support, and job creation in mountainous districts have been effectively implemented.
However, poverty reduction still faces many difficulties. Some mountainous districts and ethnic minority areas still have a high rate of poor households. The quality of poverty reduction is not sustainable.
To effectively implement national target programs, including the Sustainable Poverty Reduction Program in the province, in recent conferences on the national target programs for the period 2021-2025, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyễn Hoàng Giang proposed the Government and central ministries to soon promulgate a new set of rural criteria and complete poverty reduction policies for the 2026-2030 period.
