Nghe An: Will evaluate the capacity of departments and district levels according to 8 DDCI indexes

DDCI (abbreviation for Department and District Competitiveness Index) is a set of indicators to assess the administrative capacity of departments, branches, sectors and localities in the province. The DDCI survey is based on the survey of the satisfaction level of investors, enterprises, individual business households, and cooperatives that are investing, operating in production and business in the province to study solutions to improve the annual provincial competitiveness index, and at the same time propose solutions to rectify and overcome the limitations and shortcomings of the surveyed areas.

Investors, organizations and individuals participating in the DDCI survey demonstrate their role in monitoring the government system regarding the attitude and quality of public administrative services of localities.
