The central province of Thua Thien-Hue targets the declaration of 11additional communes as new-style rural areas in 2015, double the 2014figure.

Together with investment capital sourced fromthe State budget, the province has mobilised nearly 1.78 trillion VND(83.4 million USD) to build essential infrastructure for productionwhile arranging nearly 5.4 billion VND (253,000 USD) to supportproduction development.
To complete the electricitycriteria, the province invested in the energy grid in 92 ruralcommunities, thus promoting technology transfer and enhancing labourcapacity.
The province also studied and transferred 32agricultural models, 46 breeding models, 14 fishery models and 5 brandname development support models to locals.
As a result of theseinitiatives, the income per capita of residents in the communes reached20.7 million VND (971 USD), a yearly increase of 24 percent, while thepoverty rate stood at 6.64 percent, down nearly 1.8 percent from 2013.
Othercommunes in the province are also implementing measures to meet thecriteria, focusing on popularisation, mobilisation, awareness-raising ofauthorities and especially encouraging resident involvement in thenew-style area construction.
At the outset of 2015, set of 19criteria for new rural development was satisfied by 9 communes in thelocality, of which two communes were granted recognition as new-stylerural areas.
