However, the Minister of Home Affairs said that there are still some problems and shortcomings. Among them, the staff of civil servants in commune-level units in many places has not met the requirements of new tasks; the situation of surplus - shortage of staff still exists, especially in specialized fields such as information technology, finance, land, education , health, etc.

Although the reduction and simplification of administrative procedures has recorded many advances, according to the Minister, the information system for handling administrative procedures and specialized software in many localities are not operating stably, leading to prolonged processing of documents...

In addition, many headquarters and equipment at the commune and ward levels do not meet requirements; the database system is still faulty and lacks synchronization, leading to delays and technical errors when implementing electronic administration.

Strengthening human resources for commune level

To overcome the shortcomings and ensure that the two-level local government model is truly put into order, Minister of Home Affairs Pham Thi Thanh Tra outlined eight key tasks and solutions from now until October 15.

In particular, the Minister emphasized the need to urgently review administrative procedures and simplify them; review the operational efficiency of public administrative service centers at the provincial and communal levels to make adjustments.

The Minister also emphasized the need to increase human resources at the commune level to meet assigned tasks, especially in specialized fields. This is accompanied by reviewing, evaluating, classifying, and restructuring the team to ensure quality and task requirements.

“Up to now, there are still 36,542 people who have not received their benefits and policies. Recently, the Ministry of Finance issued Document No. 15041 to guide localities to focus on implementing the payments. Thanks to that, within just one week, more than 3,000 cases have been resolved,” Minister Pham Thi Thanh Tra informed.
