Over the recent past, Hoa Binh province’s steering board for digital transformation has advised the provincial administration about the promotion of information technology application and digital transformation. Thanks to that, encouraging results have been recorded in the building and development of electronic administration and digital transformation.
Departments and
sectors of Hoa Binh province have stepped up IT application to improve
performance. Photo taken at the office of the provincial Department of
Construction.
So far, Hoa
Binh has connected 1,293 local online public services and its online payment
system with the National Public Service Portal. It has been granted 6,203
specialised digital certificates and digital signatures for organisations and
individuals, deploying them to 100% of state agencies from provincial and
communal levels.
The public
email system is operating stably. Paperless meeting rooms have been utilised
efficiently at the provincial People’s Committee, and also used in all
district-level localities.
However,
there remain many obstacles and problems in digital transformation activities.
In particular, the legal documents and policies on digital transformation have
yet to be perfected, IT development and application still face difficulties,
and digital infrastructure and platforms have yet to be oriented towards new
and advanced technologies. There is still a shortage of smart service apps for
mobile phones that cover people’s daily activities while the available ones
still fail to meet people’s needs.
To raise
all-level authorities, sectors, and people’s awareness of the importance of
digital transformation to the life and socio-economic development, the
provincial People’s Committee issued Plan No. 181/KH-UBND, dated August 30,
2024, on the organisation of activities in response to the National Digital
Transformation Day 2024.
Main
activities include boosting communications about activities marking the Day on
local mass media outlets. For 10 days from October 1 to 10, community-based
digital technology groups will come to each household to give locals guidance
on digital services and apps serving digital economy development.
An online
public services week will be launched to equip citizens with basic knowledge
and skills for submitting documentation of online public services and making
cashless payments when they come to handle administrative procedures at the
provincial public services centre and the single-window divisions at district
and communal levels. Authorities will step up granting and changing chip-based
identity cards for citizens, activating Level-2 electronic identification
accounts on the VNeID app for locals, and helping with the switch of 2G-only
SIMs and mobile devices to 4G ones.
Hoa Binh
will also boost the granting and use of digital signatures for all cadres,
civil servants, public employees, workers, and residents across the province
under a cooperation programme between the provincial Department of Information
and Communications and the Vietnam Certificate Authority and Digital
Transaction Club.
With
concrete measures taken and various activities organised to mark the National
Digital Transformation Day, Hoa Binh hopes to improve public awareness of the
importance of digital transformation to effectively handling the relationship
among the State, the market, and society, fostering economic growth, improving
labour productivity and competitiveness, reducing costs for citizens and businesses,
promoting all-level administrations’ governance capacity, and developing a
digital Government, digital society, and digital citizens./.
Once a mountainous province facing many challenges, Hoa Binh has, after more than a decade of implementing the national target programme on new-style rural area development, emerged as a bright spot in Vietnam’s northern midland and mountainous region. In the first quarter of 2025, the province recorded positive results, paving the way for Hoa Binh to enter a phase of accelerated growth with a proactive and confident mindset.
Hoa Binh province is steadily advancing its agricultural sector through the adoption of high-tech solutions, seen as a sustainable path for long-term development.
The steering committee for key projects of Hoa Binh province convened on May 14 to assess the progress of major ongoing developments
A delegation of Hoa Binh province has attended the "Meet Korea 2025" event, recently held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea (RoK) in Vietnam, the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency, and the People's Committee of Hung Yen province.
Hoa Binh province joined Vietnam’s national "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) programme in 2019, not simply as a mountainous region following central policy, but with a clear vision to revive the cultural and agricultural values in its villages and crops.
From just 16 certified products in its inaugural year to 158 by early 2025, the One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme in Hoa Binh province has followed a steady and strategic path. But beyond the numbers, it has reawakened local heritage, turning oranges, bamboo shoots, brocade, and herbal remedies into branded, market-ready goods - and, more profoundly, transformed how local communities value and present their own cultural identity.
