Overall, the province's PAR index has increased in scores from 2016 to 2020. It
has been up 8.78 percent over the past five years with a year-on-year rise of
2.22 percent in 2020 alone.
There has been
improvement in many areas including directing the administration of PAR,
reforming administrative procedures, building and improving the quality of the
contingent of cadres, civil servants, and public employees, public finance
reform, and administrative modernisation. Building and enhancing the quality of
cadres, civil servants, and public employees, public administration reform,
administrative modernisation are the ones that enjoy the highest growth.
At the conference, the provincial PAR steering committee also pointed out the
limitations, namely a low disbursement of State invested capital of some
agencies and localities in 2020. The proportion of online public services at
levels 3 and 4 of the province provided on the National Public Service Portal
hasn't been met the requirement. State budget revenue in 2020 did not achieve
the set plan and the growth rate of the gross domestic product in the locality
was not higher than that of 2019. The four socio-economic targets in 2020 did
not meet the desired target.
Bui Van Khanh, Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, Chairman of
the provincial People's Committee and head of the provincial PAR steering
committee, emphasised that to improve the PAR index, departments, agencies, and
district’s People's Committees should strengthen leadership, focusing on
completing their set targets.
It was necessary to attach the responsibility of the leader in completing the
targets, he said.
The Department of Science and Technology was assigned to enhance solutions to
implement initiatives in PAR. Attention should be paid to completing the
arrangement of the state apparatus after merging, restructure of specialised
divisions, concentrating on carrying out measures to meet the disbursement plan
for State budget investment. The inspection of official duties and enforcement
of discipline should also be intensified./.

The cultivation of Dam Xanh fish (Bangana lemassoni), a unique fish species, has seen remarkable growth in Mai Chau district, thanks to its high economic value and effectiveness.
