  The National TargetProgram on New Rural Construction experienced two phases (2010-2015 and 2016-2020), obtaining remarkable achievements, helping to change the situation of rural Vietnam, and gradually improving the living standards of rural population. The program has mobilized the participation of the whole political system, especially the contributions of socio-political organizations. For the next phase 2021-2025, when the program sets higher goals, focusing on quality and sustainability, the roles of socio-political organizations become increasingly important. The present review paper clarified the roles of socio-political organizations associated with the objectives of the new rural construction program in the 3 phases. The roles include (1) Program design, (2) Propaganda-advocacy, (3) Mobilization of resources, and (4) Monitoring - feedback. From the above analysis, the study points out the factors affecting the roles of the socio-political organizations in new rural construction and lessons learned for the next phase.

  In the world as well as in Vietnam, multi-objective optimal model has been used in various fields. This article reports the research results of multi-objective optimal model in forecasting the demand of land use for new rural construction in Yen Dung district, Bac Giang province. Among four land use groups identified, land use of group IV was analyzed by multi-objective optimal model with two objective functions -maximizing economic benefits and maximizing the number of jobs from the distribution of land use - and otherconstraints, i.e. natural area limit, labor resource, food security, average income, environmental sustainability insurance, rural landscape and the conformity to strategic development and local land resource potential. Test model results for Huong Gian commune apparently showed more advantages over the land-use plans being applied.

  This study was conducted to analyze the current situation and propose solutions to strengthen state management in utilizing small and medium irrigation systems in BaoYendistrict, Lao Cai province. Results of a survey of 45 irrigation project managers and 120 households showed that decentralizing the management of irrigation works according to scale has been done well. The district People's Committee and the exploitation company had good cooperation in planning for the operation of irrigation works. The irrigatioon works have also been repaired and maintained to ensure safety in flood season and stabilize irrigation water, contributing to fulfilling new rural construction criteria on irrigation. However, there was still overlap between state management agencies and the irrigation companies in the exploitation and use of irrigation workswithlimitedstate bugget. The irrigation works were degraded due to improper operation, long-standing, and poor construction quality. The research proposes some solutions to improve management decentralization and mobilize integrated capital from National Target Programs and strengthen inspection and supervision to promptly detect violations in the use of irrigation works.

  The study evaluated the current status of land use and the development plan implementation of the Border Gate Economic Zone Dong Dang - Lang Son with the purpose of finding out the disadvantages in land use and in the implementation of planning types that affect the development of the Border Gate Economic Zone. The research methods involvedcollecting secondary data and primary data, processing data by Excel and SPSS, and evaluating the development plan implementation of the Border Gate Economic Zone Dong Dang - Lang Son. Results showed that the current status of non-agricultural land use was extremely low, especially the land use for infrastructural facilities, production - business establishments and industrial zones. By 2017, several land use indicators of functional areas were delayed, so the plan goals were not achieved as initially set. The factors that influenced the plan goal implementation included: policy of attracting investors has been limited and difficulty in fund mobilization and change in land use purpose. According to the evaluation from land users, the plan was not well implemented due to slow process of planning and implementation, and there was no close linkage between the Border Gate Economic Zone development plan and the New Rural Construction plan.

  The aims of the present paper were to evaluate the results of the policy implementation in supporting the development of agricultural cooperatives, point out the shortcomings in policy implementation, and, finally,to propose some solutions to improve supporting policies for agricultural cooperatives in Hanoi city. Secondary data were collected from reports of Cooperative Alliance and Department of Agriculture and Rural Development. In addition, information collected from 90 agricultural cooperatives has been used to show the beneficiaries' assessment of the supporting policies. The research showed that while the preferential policies for credit, technology transfer, trade promotion and support for the establishment of new cooperatives played significant supporting roles, the other policies such as land allocation/land lease, infrastructure construction and product processing have not shown positive impacts on agricultural cooperative development. The crucial solutions that should be implemented include completing support mechanisms and policies, propagating for raising awareness about the role of agricultural cooperatives and supporting cooperatives in digital transformation.
