In 2023, people in 12 hamlets in Hoa Binh city
and two districts of Kim Boi and Mai Chau joined the PAPI survey. Nguyen Thi Mai Phuong, head of the
Administrative Reform and Archives Division under the provincial Department of
Home Affairs, said that the province is in the group of the localities with
average-high scores. The province sees seven out of the eight content indexes
increased including people's participation at the grassroots level 5.16 points
(up 0.06 point); publicity and transparency 5.13 points (up 0.01 point);
accountability 4.46 poins (up 0.14 point); corruption control in public sector
7.23 points (up 0.79 point); public administrative procedures 7.35 points (up
0.7 point); environmental management 3.88 points (up 0.45 point); and
e-governance 3.15 points (up 0.56 point). Its index of public service provision
was 7.19 points, down 0.2 points compared to 2022.
The province's 2023 PAPI objectively assessed
people's satisfaction with administrative reforms, socio-economic management,
and the implementation of local grassroots democracy regulations. However,
according to the provincial Home Affairs Department, the report also showed the
province’s limitations in administering policies and serving people, for
example, people’s access to information on the Internet, the use of information
portals, and online public services. Moreover, the investment in building
facilities and equipment for schools, medical facilities, rural concrete roads,
and waste collection services has not met the people’s needs.
Phuong said that the province’s Home Affairs
Department has proposed the Chairman of the provincial People's Committee
develop specific plans for departments, agencies, units, districts, and Hoa
Binh city to improve the province’s ranking in the PAPI Index in 2024 and
following years.
Moreover, the province will promote
communications activities on the results, contents, and purpose of the PAPI
Index, and the political system’s responsibility in improving the PAPI Index.
The moves aim to improve the performance of the administrations at all levels,
better serve people, enhance publicity, transparency, and accountability of
public organisations, and ensure basic human rights, especially that to express
political opinions, access information, and use quality basic public
services.
