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./.
With a total investment of nearly 10 trillion VND (nearly 406 million USD), the Hoa Binh - Moc Chau Expressway (section Km19+000 - Km53+000 in Hoa Binh province) has been the largest transport project in Hoa Binh province to date. As its construction is planned to begin in September, the management board of traffic works investment projects of the province is urgently preparing all conditions to start the work.
Replacing less productive crops with herbal medicines has proven to be an effective direction for many localities in Hoa Binh province.
The Hoa Binh Power Corporation (PC Hoa Binh) has capitalised on telecommunications and IT infrastructure to promote digital transformation, scoring significant results over the past time.
On November 7, 2022, the Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee issued Action Plan No. 212/KH-UBND on the implementation of the national programme on aquaculture development for the 2021 - 2030 period in the locality. Improvements have been recorded thanks to programme implementation over the last more than two years.
The 34-km Hoa Binh-Moc Chau Expressway whose construction began on September 29 is expected to pave the way for the northwestern region to grow further.
