(HBO) - Currently, 100% of communes and towns in Lac Thuy district have effectively implemented digital transformation and improved the building of e-government to better serve local people, according to Nguyen Thanh Thoa, head of the Lac Thuy district Internal Affairs Department,
Staff of the "single-window" unit in Hung Thi commune (Lac Thuy) trained to carry out digitalisation in handling administrative procedures.
To bring digital transformation to life, and to shift from traditional to digital transactions, the district has directed the establishment of 113 community-based technology groups, including one at the district level. The groups are responsible for disseminating and guiding people on how to install and use information technology applications to perform electronic administrative transactions when needed. The efforts have initially brought about many remarkable results, especially in transforming people's thinking about accessing and using online public services.
Along with improving the effectiveness of dissemination work, Lac Thuy focuses on investing resources in upgrading the information infrastructure system. From the beginning of this year to late August, the district received 5,673 administrative procedure documents, of which 5,251 or 92.5% of the total were submitted online through the public service portal, exceeding the target assigned by the province by 37.5%.
Thoa attributed this to the district’s efforts to innovate and improve the efficiency of the "single-window" unit. Every year, the district People's Committee promulgates plans to review and evaluate administrative procedures and cut the duration of settlement, thus contributing to reducing time and travel costs, and improving people’s satisfaction.
With the results achieved in digitalising the settlement of administrative procedures, the satisfaction index of local people and businesses has improved, with over 98% of people surveyed saying they feel satisfied, Thoa added.
Over recent years, the Farmers' Union of Mai Chau district has implemented numerous specific programmes and activities to support its members in developing products under the One Commune One (OCOP) programme. These efforts have contributed to enhancing local agricultural branding, increasing goods value, and improving incomes and living standards for residents.
Since 2022, the Hoa Binh Department of Education and Training has provided advice for the provincial People's Committee to issue Plan No. 219/KH-UBND on November 17, 2022, which outlines the implementation of a project titled "Enhancing the application of Information Technology (IT) and Digital Transformation in Education and Training for the 2022–2025 period, with a vision to 2030.” As of now, the local education sector has made significant progress in IT adoption and digital transformation.
Hoa Binh allocated over 30 trillion VND (nearly 1.18 billion USD) to develop infrastructure systems in ethnic minority and mountainous areas during 2019 - 2024. Priority was given to transport and irrigation infrastructure; markets; schools; medical stations; communal houses; and power grid, telecommunication, radio, and television systems.
The Hoa Binh provincial organising committee for anniversary activities on December 17 held a ceremony to unveil a ceramic mural on the local military-civilian ties and release a book on the Party and political work of the provincial armed forces during 1947 – 2024, in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA) and 35th anniversary of the All-People Defence Festival.
In recent years, Hoa Binh has allocated significant resources to foster cooperative economy, helping ethnic minorities capitalise on their potential and advantages to escape poverty.
As a mountainous district still facing numerous challenges, Da Bac has made notable progress in advancing administrative reforms across various areas. The district has prioritised reorganising and streamlining its administrative apparatus, operating "one-stop-shop” units, and applying information technology (IT) in the handling of administrative procedures. Efforts have also been directed toward upgrading infrastructure and equipment to enhance service quality for residents and businesses.
