Delegates attend the conference at the bridge point of Hung Yen province

After four weeks of implementation, the two-tier local government model in the province has initially shown its effectiveness. The commune-level government has gradually gotten into order, the organization and personnel of the agencies assisting the People's Council, specialized agencies, and public service units of the commune-level People's Committee have been quickly consolidated. The government's activities in the direction of "being close to the people, serving the people" are clearly demonstrated.

The work of decentralization, delegation of authority and assignment of authority has been carried out synchronously, contributing to improving the efficiency of management, operation and settlement of administrative procedures at the grassroots level. The Public Administration Service Centers in communes and wards have been invested in facilities, equipment and arranged with adequate basic human resources, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted operations.

As of July 24, the whole province has received 68,594 administrative procedure dossiers, of which 54,993 dossiers were submitted online. The commune-level authorities have received up to 63,096 dossiers, accounting for more than 90% of the total number of dossiers in the whole province. 48,466 dossiers have been resolved, reflecting the positive progress of administrative handling. In particular, in the land sector, which has a large volume of work and is complex in nature, from July 1 to July 20, the whole province has received 3,724 dossiers, however, the settlement rate reached 15.39%; the remaining dossiers are continuing to be processed according to the correct procedures.

At the conference, leaders of departments, branches and localities focused on discussing and evaluating the achievements, at the same time reflected on some difficulties and problems in the process of the new model operations. It is said that there is currently a lack of personnel with professional qualifications and experience in such fields as health, education, science - technology, natural resources - environment, land, etc. In addition, some tasks transferred from the old district level to the commune level have not been instructed specifically from ministries and central branches, causing confusion in the implementation process. Localities also reported that there are no detailed regulations on management, use and the policies for cadres, civil servants, public employees and non-professional workers, affecting the organization and operation of the apparatus; the operation of software for handling administrative procedures is still confusing...

Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Pham Van Nghiem speaks at the conference.
