The advisory and support agencies of the Provincial Party Committee and the City Party Committee have helped the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the City Party Committee to effectively lead and direct the implementation of the Resolutions of the 12th and 13th National Party Congresses, the Congresses of the Provincial and City Party Committees for the 2015-2020 and 2020-2025 terms. The implementation process has achieved many important results in the work of Party building, building an increasingly strong political system, economic and social recovery and development; ensuring national defense - security, safety and social order; constantly improving the material and spiritual life of the people.

However, in the implementation process, there have also been limitations and shortcomings that are not suitable to reality, such as: The implementation of unifying the Party Committee's office to serve all advisory and support agencies of the Provincial Party Committee has many shortcomings, which have been promptly adjusted by the Politburo in Conclusion No. 50-KL/TW dated February 28, 2023; The total number of deputy heads of advisory and support agencies of the Provincial Party Committee is not more than 15 people, on average each agency has 2.5 deputies; the number of deputy heads at the department level is limited, but the amount of work arising has increased a lot, while there are no official regulations on job positions in the entire political system to be able to correctly and fully calculate the number of people working in reality, thus creating pressure on the team of cadres and civil servants in performing their duties.

The establishment of the number and names of specialized departments is being proactively arranged by localities. Therefore, each locality implements a different way of doing things…
