Enhance the responsibility of leadersin administrative reform

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee noted to focus on effectively implementing the administrative reform year - 2019, in which to strengthen solutions for objective assessment and promote reform, it is necessary to implement 3 contents.

First of all, the Department of Science and Technology reports to the Party Committee of the Provincial People's Committee the results of the survey on people and businesses' satisfaction with the quality of public administrative services of departments, branches and localities; the results of the assessment of competitiveness; then it will report and announce to the Provincial People's Committee; report to the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. On that basis, it will evaluate the division of responsibilities of local departments and branches and if good results are achieved, it will be implemented annually.

In particular, through the assessment of the Department of Home Affairs and the results of sociological surveys of the Department of Science and Technology, it is shown that although administrative reform has changed, it is still slow, one of the reasons being that in some agencies, units, and localities at the district level, the role of the head has not changed much.

From the above practice, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested the Department of Home Affairs and the Provincial Inspectorate to conduct public service inspections, especially direct inspections of leaders of a number of departments, branches and district-level units on their roles in administrative reform.

Besides, the Provincial People's Committee and relevant sectors are focusing on soon establishing and putting the Nghe An Provincial Administrative Service Center into operation.

All levels and sectors also need to focus on implementing the work of preventing and fighting African swine fever, associated with the very high responsibility of the Chairman of the People's Committee of the district and commune, and specific inspection and supervision work, especially surprise inspections; implementing solutions to manage exported labor, especially in the labor market to overcome the situation of runaway labor.
