In
recent years, Hoa Binh province has implemented a series of measures to
streamline administrative procedures, achieving notable progress.
Since
the beginning of the year, the province has issued 36 administrative decisions,
standardised 522 internal procedures, and simplified 132 across multiple
sectors.
Decentralization has streamlined processes, with local agencies taking on more responsibilities.
Transparency has improved, with all procedures now accessible online.
Hoa
Binh has also connected its administrative systems with national databases,
including the National Population Database and platforms operated by ministries
such as Health, Construction, and Public Security.
Despite
progress, Hoa Binh province faces challenges such as processing delays, slow
procedural updates, and incomplete digital integration.
To
address these issues, the province is expanding "one-stop-shop” services,
accelerating digitalization with AI, scaling up pilot initiatives, and
simplifying complex procedures.
Efforts
also include enhancing accountability and feedback mechanisms to improve
efficiency and public satisfaction, supporting business growth and
socio-economic development.
