The arrangement of mass associations according to new administrative units at the commune level is based on Instruction 05/HD-MTTW-BTT.

On behalf of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF), Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Ha - Member of the Party Central Committee, Vice President - General Secretary of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee - signed and issued Instruction No. 05/HD-MTTW-BTT on continuing to reorganize, streamline and consolidate mass organizations assigned by the Party and State at the provincial and communal levels.

The guidance stipulates a number of contents related to the arrangement, streamlining, and consolidation of the organizational apparatus of mass associations assigned by the Party and State and operating at the provincial and communal levels (including associations that have been arranged and consolidated according to new administrative units and associations that have not been arranged or consolidated).

According to the Guidelines, the arrangement of associations according to new administrative units (applicable to provincial and commune-level localities implementing mergers) is carried out as follows:

- Associations operating at the provincial and communal levels with the same name, field, and operating objects when merged will keep the name of the provincial or communal association according to the new administrative unit (for example, Thai Nguyen and Bac Kan provinces will merge and be named Thai Nguyen province, accordingly, Association A of Thai Nguyen province will merge with Association A of Bac Kan province and be named Association A of Thai Nguyen province (new).

- In case this province or commune has an association, but the other province or commune does not have an association with the same name and field of activity, the following shall apply:

+ At provincial level : Associations operating in a province or city before the merger will continue to operate under the new administrative unit.

For example: Hoa Binh , Phu Tho, Vinh Phuc provinces merged into Phu Tho province (new). If Hoa Binh province has Association X (but Phu Tho and Vinh Phuc provinces do not have), Association X will continue to operate according to Phu Tho province (new).

+ At commune level :

i) If the Association's scope of operation is greater than or equal to 1/3 of the number of corresponding administrative units at the same level before the merger, the Association will continue to operate according to regulations and change its name according to the new administrative unit (For example, communes A, B, C will merge and be named commune A, accordingly, commune A has association D but the other communes do not have that association. If association D continues to operate, the Association will take the name of commune A).

ii) If the Association's scope of operation is less than 1/3 of the number of administrative units at the same level before the merger, based on the actual situation, the Standing Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee at the commune level shall preside over and coordinate with relevant parties, discuss with mass organizations, and propose to the Standing Committee of the Party Committee at the commune level to consider and decide whether the Association continues to operate or not. If the Association continues to operate, the arrangement shall be made as stated in (i) above. If the Association does not continue to operate, it shall dissolve itself according to Decree No. 126/2024/ND-CP dated October 8, 2024 of the Government.
