(HBO) - Vice Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh made the direction during a meeting of the provincial Steering Committee on Administrative Reform on June 16. The meeting aimed to assess the Provincial Administrative Reform Index (PAR) 2019, discuss preparations for a conference reviewing the comprehensive administrative reform scheme for the 2011-2020 period, and tasks for 2021-2030.

Vice Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh speaks at the meeting.

Last year, the provincial Steering Committee on Administrative Reform drastically directed administrative reform tasks. As a result, the province improved performance in several criteria compared to 2018. New initiatives and measures were implemented effectively while qualified personnel were appointed in line with regulations. More documents were processed via the public service portal at levels 3 and 4. Therefore, the score based on verified documents in 2019 increased by 14.2 percent from 2018, and assessment score based on sociological surveys of local leaders and surveys of public satisfaction about service of State administrative agencies also increased significantly compared to 2018.

However, the province’s PAR index only reached 79.44 percent in 2019, placing the locality the 52nd out of 63 cities and provinces, down six spots from 2018.

Concluding the event, Khanh lauded efforts by the provincial departments and agencies to improve the PAR index and asked them to indentify existing shortcomings to timely address them. In order to raise the local PAR index ranking this year, he called for active involvement of the entire political system. In the near future, the steering committee will convene quarterly meetings and set up inspection teams to check administrative reform in units, agencies and localities. Communication work should be promoted to raise public awareness of the effort, and the result of the work must be included in the annual assessment of units and localities’ performance, especially responsibility of the top leaders./.
