As women's participation in key leadership positions of Hoa Binh province is still modest while some women in rural and mountainous areas or from ethnic minorities face limited access to policies, the provincial Party Committee's Organisation Board has advised the provincial Party Committee's Standing Board to direct Party committees at all levels and localities to pay more attention to training female personnel and creating favourable conditions for women to take over leadership and management roles, thus addressing a shortage in the number of female cadres.
Female civil servants of the People's
Committee of Quy Hoa commune (Lac Son district) proactively apply IT to improve
the quality and effectiveness of their works.
Hoa Binh has a total of 17,900 female officials, civil servants, and public
employees across the provincial, district, and communal levels, accounting for
61.3% of the total. As of December 31, 2024, there were 136 people holding
leadership and management positions at provincial-level departments, agencies,
organisations, and public service units, with women making up 19.1%.
Meanwhile, 540 persons held such positions at offices and equivalent units of
provincial-level departments and agencies, and 26.3% of them were female. The
district-level Party committees had 391 members, of whom 22.5% were women,
while the district-level Party committees’ standing boards had 112 members,
with women making up 18.8%.
Bui Thi Thu Hang, deputy head of the provincial Party Committee’s Organisation
Board, stated that local authorities have focused on reforming and promoting
the training and capacity-building for female cadres, linking it with the
preparation for leadership and management positions, especially in ethnic
minority areas.
All-level Party committees, localities, and relevant agencies have paid heed to
reviewing and updating leadership personnel planning at all levels, striving
for a minimum of 25% female representation. Special attention has been given to
fostering young capable female staff to ensure personnel readiness for
leadership roles in the 2025–2030 period and candidacy for the People's Council
elections for the 2026–2031 tenure.
Hoa Binh aims to have over 20% of the cadres under the management of the
provincial Party Committee’s Standing Board, and over 22% of those under the
management of the district-level Party committees' standing boards being
female by 2030, Hang said.
To that end, agencies and units will concentrate
on training and developing cadres in general, and female ones in particular, in
alignment with localities' personnel planning. The rate of female cadres
participating in training courses on political theory and professional
expertise opened by central and provincial agencies is targeted at 33%.
In addition, local Party committees and authorities will also attention to
arranging, nominating, and appointing female personnel to leadership positions
in accordance with procedures and regulations. Female Party members will also
be increased. Currently, the number of female Party members across Hoa Binh’s
Party organisation accounts for 38.5% of the total.
