(HBO) - Vice Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh made the direction during a meeting of the provincial Steering Committee on Administrative Reform on June 16. The meeting aimed to assess the Provincial Administrative Reform Index (PAR) 2019, discuss preparations for a conference reviewing the comprehensive administrative reform scheme for the 2011-2020 period, and tasks for 2021-2030.
Vice Secretary of the
provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee
Bui Van Khanh speaks at the meeting.
Last year, the provincial Steering Committee on Administrative
Reform drastically directed administrative reform tasks. As a result, the
province improved performance in several criteria compared to 2018. New
initiatives and measures were implemented effectively while qualified personnel
were appointed in line with regulations. More documents were processed via the
public service portal at levels 3 and 4. Therefore, the score based on verified
documents in 2019 increased by 14.2 percent from 2018, and assessment score based
on sociological surveys of local leaders and surveys of public satisfaction about
service of State administrative agencies also increased significantly compared
to 2018.
However, the province’s PAR index only reached 79.44 percent
in 2019, placing the locality the 52nd out of 63 cities and
provinces, down six spots from 2018.
Concluding the event, Khanh lauded efforts by the provincial
departments and agencies to improve the PAR index and asked them to indentify existing
shortcomings to timely address them. In order to raise the local PAR index
ranking this year, he called for active involvement of the entire political
system. In the near future, the steering committee will convene quarterly
meetings and set up inspection teams to check administrative reform in units,
agencies and localities. Communication work should be promoted to raise public
awareness of the effort, and the result of the work must be included in the
annual assessment of units and localities’ performance, especially
responsibility of the top leaders./.
Dao Village’s honey – a product certified with a 3-star OCOP (One Commune One Product) rating by Thong Nhat Agricultural Cooperative in Dao Village (Hoa Binh City) – is highly regarded by consumers for its quality, richness, and variety in packaging. The distinctively sweet taste of Dao Village’s honey leaves a lasting impression on anyone who has tried it.
In alignment with Project No. 07-DA/TU, issued by the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee on November 1, 2021, Lac Thuy district has actively promoted investment and supported the sustainable development of its industrial and handicraft sectors during the 2021–2025 period. Alongside this, the district has remained committed to preserving and revitalising traditional craft villages.
Located in the northern part of Lac Thuy district, with a temperate climate and fertile soil, Phu Thanh commune has great potential and advantages in growing tea. The long-standing experience, combined with strict adherence to organic farming practices in the tea gardens, ensures that the dried tea products from Phu Thanh and Lac Thuy as a whole are sold out immediately upon production, providing a stable and prosperous life for the local people.
Amid efforts to streamline the administrative apparatus, Hoa Binh province has intensified measures to address challenges in land clearance, resettlement support, and infrastructure investment, aiming to speed up the progress of key projects.
Hoa Binh province has posted an unprecedented economic growth rate of 12.76% in the first quarter of 2025, marking its highest quarterly performance to date and positioning it as the second fastest-growing locality in the country, trailing only Bac Giang province.
Under current regulations, products in the One Commune – One Product (OCOP) programme that are rated three stars or higher must undergo re-evaluation every three months. However, in reality, some of these products fail to consistently meet the required standards, raising concerns about the sustainability of their OCOP certification. This underscores the urgent need for producers to enhance product quality and gradually develop their OCOP products into strong, marketable brands.
