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./.
