Many positive changes

According to the assessment of the Central Committee for Mass Mobilization, in the first 6 months of 2022, the mass mobilization work of the political system has had positive changes. Party committees and organizations at all levels have paid attention to leading and directing mass mobilization work; promptly institutionalized documents of the Central Committee and higher-level Party committees, issued many leadership and direction documents associated with local and unit practices.

Party committees and organizations nationwide conducted 1,554 inspections of 2,612 organizations and units; supervised 1,503 inspections of 2,522 organizations and units on leadership and direction of implementation of superior documents on mass mobilization work.

The work of government mass mobilization, ethnic and religious affairs, and grassroots democracy has achieved many important results in a practical, effective, and people-friendly manner. The Mass Mobilization Committees at all levels have been proactive, innovative, dynamic, and flexible in advising the Party Committees to develop and implement the mass mobilization work program according to the set plan.

Many models and typical examples of skillful mass mobilization have been widely replicated and spread positively in society, contributing significantly to promoting democracy, strengthening national solidarity, completing targets and tasks of socio-economic development, security and defense, and consolidating the trust of cadres, party members and people in the leadership of the Party and the management and administration of the State.

In addition to the achieved results, the Central Committee for Mass Mobilization also pointed out that the leadership and direction of the organization and implementation of mass mobilization tasks by a number of Party committees, Party organizations, authorities, and leaders in the mass mobilization work of the political system is not comprehensive, and the quality and effectiveness are still limited.

The results of building and replicating models and typical examples of "skillful mass mobilization" in site clearance, new rural construction, hunger eradication, poverty reduction, economic, cultural and social development, etc. have not been as expected.
