(HBO) - Hoa Binh has for years implemented the 11th Politburo’s Resolution 36-NQ/TW, dated 1/7/2014, and Plan No. 121-KH/TW of the standing board of the provincial Party Committee on promoting IT application and development to meet requirements of sustainable development and international integration. As a result, the awareness on the matter among local authorities at all levels and public personnel has been improved remarkably.
Officials and civil
servants of the Party Committee of Cao Phong district paid attention to applying
IT to improve professional performance.
In order to institutionalise and put the resolution into
practice, in 5 years (2014 – 2018), Hoa Binh had issued one agreement, 17
decisions and five plans on cooperation in terms of IT application across
fields, particularly in administrative reform. In addition, the province paid
attention to completing, supplementing and guiding the implementation of administrative
processes, standards and regulations. Designing evaluation criteria system and financial
and investment mechanisms for the work was also important.
According to the provincial Party Committee’s standing board,
to realise the goal of making three strategic breakthroughs, Hoa Binh has been
focused on using IT application to boost administrative reform; building an e-governance
system and providing online public services. To date, e-office software has
been used in People’s Committees, departments and agencies from provincial to
communal levels. The system has been linked to the National E-Document Exchange
Platform, allowing the exchange of documents online through four levels,
contributing to bettering management, improving working efficiency, saving
time and cutting paper costs.
The electronic single-window software, installed at the
provincial Public Service Center since August 2017, has so far connected all of
the local departments and sectors. Hoa Binh has mobilised funds from many
sources to build IT technical infrastructure and train human resources, among
others.
Such efforts have helped local cadres and public workers make
use of the advantages and minimise negative impacts brought about by the 4th
Industrial Revolution./.

Priority was given to transport and irrigation infrastructure; markets; schools; medical stations; communal houses; and power grid, telecommunication, radio, and television systems.
