In particular, through the assessment of the Department of Home Affairs and the results of the sociological survey 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 regarding their roles in administrative reform.

Besides, the Provincial People's Committee and relevant sectors focus 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 controlling 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.
