According to the report of the Department of Home Affairs, from July 1 to now, the two-tier local government apparatus has been operating stably, effectively implementing political tasks in the locality. The work of ensuring political security and social order and safety during and after the process of administrative unit arrangement has been maintained. The provincial departments and branches have actively and promptly advised the Provincial People's Committee to issue directive documents and, within their authority, issued documents guiding localities in performing related tasks on two-tier local government; established working groups and standing groups to directly receive, guide and support localities in handling difficulties and problems when operating the new government model in communes and wards. The communes and wards of the province have gradually overcome immediate difficulties in arranging and organizing staff, civil servants, working conditions, especially in performing new functions and tasks.
Regarding the operation of the Public Administration Service Center, up to now, on the National Public Service Portal, Hung Yen province has published 2,119 administrative procedures with full electronic forms and processes, reaching a rate of 100% to serve people and businesses through online forms. From July 1 to August 13, 2025, in the total number of administrative procedure records received at the Provincial Public Administration Service Center and 104 Commune-level Public Administration Service Centers, there are 134,251 records received online, 21,979 records received directly; 143,249 records have been processed, of which 141,847 records were on time, 1,402 records were overdue, and 8,381 records are being processed. The rate of online submission of records reached nearly 86%, ranking the 11th out of 34 provinces and cities. In the province, 27 communes and wards have been granted the land use right certificates.
Along with the achieved results, the operation of the two-tier government model in the province still faces difficulties due to the uneven quality of commune-level officials in terms of capacity, experience, and expertise; lacking of specialized personnel in some fields; facilities and information technology infrastructure at the Commune-level Public Administration Service Center are still limited; some instructions from ministries and central branches are incomplete and overlap; there are no specific regulations on the organization, operation and personnel of commune-level public service units; difficulties in signing contracts, policies, financial management, and implementing transitional projects, etc.
At the conference, leaders of communes and wards reported on the results, difficulties and obstacles in the operation of commune-level government. Localities recommended and proposed to improve the leadership and management of departments and centers at the commune level, supplement civil servants for communes, especially specialized civil servants in the fields of construction, education, health, natural resources and environment, etc.; supplement teachers for public general education institutions; guide the management of schools and medical stations when they are decentralized to communes and wards...
