1. Content of stabilizing population in the annual public investment plan

According to the instructions of Appendix IV issued with Circular 24/2023/TT-BNNPTNT, the process of stabilizing population in the annual public investment plan is detailed as follows:

- Assess the number of households with stable residential arrangements in the following forms: concentrated, intermixed, and stable on-site. Determine the progress of construction of infrastructure in resettlement areas and sites, including factors such as traffic, irrigation, domestic water, electricity and other essential works. Evaluate the performance of production development, vocational education and employment in areas with stable population arrangement. Analyze investment capital by source and other related content.

- Evaluate the positive aspects and key remaining aspects in the process of stabilizing the population. Analyze the causes of existing problems and propose solutions.

- Forecasting the situation related to the main goals and targets of the plan year. Develop a plan for stabilizing the population in the form of concentration, intermingling, and on-site stabilization. Plan infrastructure construction, production development, vocational education and employment in population stabilization projects. Building models and projects to support production development and propaganda and training measures for officials and people working on population placement.

- Select a list of projects and plans for stabilizing the population in order of priority. Determine the specific capital level of the medium-term plan, synthesize it into a project list, and plans for stabilizing the population. Synthesize the capital plan for stabilizing the population into the Capital Plan for stabilizing the population.

- Propose operating solutions to ensure efficiency in plan implementation. Organize and implement plans according to the proposed steps and processes. Expected results to be achieved through the implementation of plans and operating measures.

In short, this process aims to ensure efficiency, transparency and sustainability in stabilizing the population, thereby contributing to promoting comprehensive development in this field. This process is not simply planning, but also the process of evaluating, orienting and implementing population stabilization activities in a scientific and effective way. This includes a detailed assessment of the previous year's implementation, from the number of households arranged to infrastructure and factors affecting socio-economic development. At the same time, the process also focuses on evaluating pros and cons, providing orientation and tasks for the plan year, as well as building capital plans and operating solutions.

In this way, the process not only helps ensure consistency and efficiency in implementing public investment plans but also proposes solutions to existing problems and shapes strategies for the future. In particular, choosing a project portfolio in order of priority and a specific capital plan helps manage resources flexibly and provide detailed instructions for the implementation process. Finally, this process is not only a planning step but also a system of operating and implementation measures, expected to achieve the desired results in stabilizing the population.

2. Principles of medium-term and annual public investment planning

According to the provisions of Article 48 ofLaw on Public Investment 2019, mid-term and annual public investment planning sets out a number of important principles to ensure efficiency and sustainability in the management of public investment resources. Below is a detailed description of these principles:

- Public investment plans must be adjusted and fully reflect the country's socio-economic development goals. This includes the 5-year development strategy and planning annual development plans, as well as approved plans.

- Public investment plans need to be consistent with the ability to balance capital resources. At the same time, it is necessary to attract investment capital from many different economic sectors. It is important to ensure public debt safety and maintain macroeconomic balance during the investment process.

- The allocation of public investment capital must comply with the principles, criteria, and norms approved by competent authorities. This helps ensure fairness and transparency in the planning and resource allocation process.

- Public investment plans need to prioritize capital allocation to industries, fields, and territories according to the development goals and orientations of each period. This helps focus resources on important areas and has a great impact on comprehensive development.

- The planning and resource allocation process should be carried out in a fair, transparent and public manner. This helps create trust from the community and people, while enhancing monitoring and evaluation from the community.

- Ensuring centralized management and unity of goals, mechanisms, and policies is an important key. Decentralization in investment management helps create proactive rights for ministries, central agencies and localities according to the provisions of law, in order to improve investment efficiency.

- The annual public investment plan must be built strictly and in accordance with the approved medium-term public investment plan. This helps ensure continuity and consistency in the implementation of investment projects.

In summary, implementing the above principles helps create a tight, effective and sustainable public investment plan, while ensuring accurate and effective management of public investment resources. Public investment plans need to be built flexibly and creatively, and must strictly comply with the set principles. Conformity with development strategy, balancing capital resources, transparency and fairness in resource allocation, prioritizing development goals and orientation are important factors to ensure continuity and effectiveness. during the implementation of public investment projects. In addition, implementing centralized and decentralized management while ensuring public debt safety is the key to preventing risks and optimizing resource use. The flexible combination of annual investment plans and medium-term investment plans helps ensure consistency and effectiveness of investment strategies, while creating conditions for sustainable development of the economy. - society.
