The necessity of the thesis In the typical conditions of our country, the issues of ethnic group have a very close relationship with those of farmers.
Therefore, the goal of the national democratic revolution is to gain national independence and give land to the farmers. However, after 30 years of the country independence and reunification, there has existing a sad fact resulting from the past i. due to traditional customs, a number of ethnic minority people are still falling in the situation of lacking land for residenting and cultivating. In addition, they are also in short of clean water.
Under the urgent demand for land for residenting and cultivating and clean water for the socioeconomic development of several ethnic minorities in mountainous areas, on the 20th of July, 2004, the Prime Minister issued the Decision No. 134/2004/QD-TTg on a number of policies to provide land for residenting and cultivating, housing and clean water for poor ethnic minority households. This is an important decision which shows that the life of ethnic people, especially poor households and the cause of hunger alleviation and poverty reduction in mountainous areas with deep humanity are the big concerns of the Party and the State. Decision 134 is significantly meaningful in implementing the resolution approved on the 7th Conference of Central Committee of the Communist Party, term [X and in the action program of the Government to implement this resolution.
With the tremendous results in the implementation of Decision 134, dated on the 12th of October, 2009, the Prime Minister issued Decision 1592/QD-TTg to continue implementing a number of policies to provide land for residenting and cultivating, housing and clean waiter for poor ethnic minority households by 2010. After more than 3 years of implementing Decision 134 (2004-2008) and more than 1 year of implementing Decision 1592 (2010), Dak Nong province has achieved great results on many fronts which helps lay the firm foundation for stabilizing life and production of the people, contributing to the cause of hunger alleviation and poverty reduction and improving the life of ethnic minorities in the province. According to the Party committees and loca! authorities at al! levels, this is an important political task which has drawn much attention and consensus of the whole society. However, through the practical implementation of Decision 134 and 1592, there have existed some limitations that should be remedied in the near future.
Thus, the main focus ofthe thesis is the current situation of implementing Decision 134 in the deployment and the use of clean water facilities in Dak Nong province. Besides, the thesis also aims at giving the causes and suggesting a number of solutions to the effective implementation of this program in the coming years.
