Opening pathway for poverty alleviation
Particularly, the locals in Phuc Son commune, Son Dong district have recently enjoyed favourable traffic conditions thanks to the province’s rural road concreting policy. Many roads have been concreted such as the route from Hau village to Dong Cao plateau while a number of low-water bridges crossing the streams have been built.

Similarly, Yen The district combined fund resources with nearly 320 billion VND (13.2 million USD) in 2022 to concrete the village and communal axis roads.
“In line with funding, the district has directed the competent divisions, sectors and people’s committee of the communes to focus on advocacy and mobilizing people to contribute to lengthening and widening the routes. Thanks to this method, the district has concreted 878 km of roads in the first half of the tenure”, said Nguyen Ngoc Son, Chairman of the district people’s committee.
Several concreted roads have facilitated the people’s travelling and consumption of farm produce such as the concreted roads in the mountainous villages of La Lanh and La Xa, Dong Vuong commune, the concreted roads low-water bridges in Dong An village and concreted roads in Goc Bong village, Dong Tien commune.
With the principle “The state and people work together”, the province has mobilized some 4 trillion VND (165 million USD) for construction of roads in the first half of the tenure, including 1.7 trillion VND (70 million USD) donated by the people when more than 4,200 km of rural traffic roads have been concreted.
Traffic development has fostered circulation of goods and helped to improve the people’s living standard. Poverty has been gradually erased and replaced with prosperity.
According to Truong Duc Huan, Vice Director of the Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, investment in construction of rural traffic roads is one of the significant policies for socio-economic development and improving the people’s living standard. It is also a good condition for convenient circulation of goods of the people in rural, mountainous and disadvantaged areas.

Based on the factual situation of the localities and allocated budget, the Department will closely collaborate with related departments, sectors and localities to accelerate and inspect use of the resources while encouraging combination of the supporting resources and resources mobilized from the society with a priority for traffic infrastructure and irrigation to facilitate development of production models.
