Poverty Reduction Model Proves Effective

The poverty rate in Moc Chau district, Son La province has been reduced by 1.97% compared to last year’s 8.5%. The reduction is a result of local authorities’ drastic measures, including the classification of poor households into six different groups to provide assistance. The district’s six categories for poor households consist of those without production land; those in need of land use certifications; those in need of loans for production; unemployed poor households; those in need of learning farming models; and poor households with high chances of escaping poverty.
