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./.
