At the same time, pay attention to research to adjust and shorten the time for procedures and documents to carry out activities to support the development of production linked to the value chain, support the development of community production, and support the development of production according to tasks; because in practice, there are investment activities due to prolonged procedures and documents, slowing down the disbursement of capital.

On the other hand, one content in the draft resolution is to stipulate a model application process, so there needs to be guidance and a scientific arrangement into 3 support groups for easy monitoring and implementation.
