Strengthening combat capabilities from the grassroots level, creating momentum for development.
Following the reorganization of administrative units and villages, the management space has expanded, and the responsibilities have become heavier, placing grassroots Party organizations before new demands. Innovating leadership methods and enhancing fighting capacity are becoming urgent requirements arising from practical realities to ensure their role as the political nucleus at the grassroots level.
Combat effectiveness must be measured by practical results.
The Quyết Thắng village Party branch was recently established by merging the Party branches of villages 5, 6, and 7, with 43 Party members.
To ensure the continued leadership capacity and fighting strength of the Party branch in the context of a larger area and a larger population, the Secretary of the Quyet Thang village Party branch, Nguyen Thi Nga, stated: First and foremost, we must build a united Party committee and branch, leveraging the intelligence and responsibility of each cadre and Party member. Immediately after the merger, the Party branch established operating regulations and assigned specific tasks to each committee member and Party member, linked to their respective areas and responsibilities. The committee members simultaneously fulfilled their assigned duties and monitored the situation in the three former villages. Party members were assigned responsibilities to specific mass organizations and neighborhood groups, becoming a direct link between the Party branch and the people.
When responsibilities are clearly assigned, and cadres and Party members can fulfill their roles and work together towards a common goal, the strength of the Party branch will be multiplied.

This approach is being proven by concrete results. Less than two months after the merger, the Party branch has gained the people's consensus in establishing the village's operational regulations and contributing to various funds; at the same time, it has focused on mobilizing resources to complete the construction of a model cultural village for the province. The outdoor stage, courtyard, gate, fence, trees, flowerbeds, playground for the elderly and children, and other ceremonial items are being implemented, striving for completion and appraisal in October 2026.
A specific case at the Quyet Thang village Party branch demonstrates that the leadership capacity and fighting strength of a Party organization must be shown by its ability to transform policies into tasks, assignments into actions, and create consensus among the people into resources for implementation. This is also a requirement set by the Quynh Thang commune Party Committee in the process of reorganizing villages and administrative units and operating the two-tiered local government.
At the end of 2025, the Standing Committee of the Commune Party Committee issued Project No. 03 on "Improving the leadership capacity and fighting strength of grassroots Party organizations, 2025 - 2030", identifying a comprehensive set of solutions ranging from organizational restructuring and team building to reforming leadership methods and improving the quality of Party branch activities.
One of the most notable results is the integration of village reorganization with the development of a younger, higher-quality, and progressively standardized workforce of village officials. Following the reorganization, 29 out of 30 village secretaries, village heads, and heads of the Fatherland Front committees are Party members, achieving a rate of 96.7%. The commune's cadre and civil servant workforce has been strengthened, with 100% holding university degrees or higher, and 94.3% possessing at least intermediate-level political theory qualifications. Party membership development targets are assigned to each Party branch, with quarterly plans in place. By August 21, 2026, the commune's Party committee had admitted 14 new Party members, exceeding the provincial target for the entire year.
Along with building up the team, Quynh Thang commune focuses on innovating Party branch activities, shifting from evaluating completed work to concentrating on discussing solutions to overcome difficult problems, bottlenecks, and outstanding issues at the grassroots level. The commune Party Committee has issued 19 sets of criteria and model documents to guide the Party branches in implementing them uniformly. This is considered one of the important measures of the fighting strength of the Party organization, because a strong Party branch is not only about its ability to uphold principles and discipline but also about its capacity to look directly at reality, correctly identify problems, and organize solutions to the end.
The current requirement is that Party committees must shift from "leadership based on tasks" to leadership based on a firm grasp of reality and accountability for results.

According to Comrade Nguyen Dinh Kien, Deputy Head of the Party Building Department of Quynh Thang Commune Party Committee: “The current requirement is that Party committees must shift from ‘leadership based on tasks’ to leadership based on a firm grasp of reality and accountability for results. Therefore, from the commune Party committee to the branch committees, everyone is actively working, closely monitoring the area, correctly identifying problems, especially bottlenecks, thereby determining priorities, clearly assigning responsibilities, and organizing implementation to the end. The fighting capacity of the Party organization is measured by its ability to effectively solve practical problems and bring resolutions into life.”
Innovate methods, create momentum for development.
In Duc Chau commune, the leadership capacity and fighting strength of the Party organization are focused on innovating methods to transform the Party organization's capacity into a capacity for development.
Currently, the Duc Chau commune Party Committee has 37 branches with over 1,680 Party members. A larger scale and wider geographical area mean more complex leadership requirements.
To ensure the effective implementation of resolutions from Party congresses at all levels, Comrade Bui Van Hung, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the People's Council of Duc Chau commune, shared: The Party Committee clearly defines that Party building is key, economic development is central, digital transformation is the driving force, and people's satisfaction is the measure. From there, the leadership method is concretized according to the spirit of "6 clears" (clear person, clear task, clear time, clear responsibility, clear authority, clear results) and "6 dares" (dare to think, dare to speak, dare to act, dare to take responsibility, dare to innovate and create, and dare to confront difficulties and challenges). Each requirement and task is concretized into a plan, with a responsible person, a schedule, and monitoring, and ultimately must be measured by actual products and effectiveness.
In the leadership, guidance, and administration of Party committees and government agencies, every requirement and task is concretized into a plan, with a responsible person, a timeline, monitoring, and ultimately must be measured by actual products and effectiveness.

The Duc Chau commune Party Committee has also promoted digital transformation in leadership, guidance, management, and implementation, gradually creating a change in the working methods of the Party committee and the political system.
Along with updating the party member database, deploying the electronic party member handbook, processing documents in a digital environment, and collecting party fees through public services, Party committees focus on exploiting data to serve leadership, guidance, and decision-making; while also strengthening propaganda, mobilization, and monitoring and forecasting public opinion on digital platforms, promptly identifying and handling issues arising from the grassroots level…
The first six months of 2026 have partly demonstrated the effectiveness of this approach. The total production value of Duc Chau commune is estimated at 1,450.86 billion VND, an increase of 11.4% compared to the same period; of which industry and construction increased by 13.2%, and trade and services increased by 11.1%.
Behind these growth figures lies the involvement of the entire political system in concretizing policies, removing obstacles, and creating an environment for people and businesses to develop their resources.
Efforts to identify, train, and recruit new Party members have also been intensified. In the first six months of the year, the locality advised on, introduced, trained, and admitted 64 outstanding individuals into the Party.
Another guiding principle in Duc Chau commune is using the effectiveness of serving the people as a measure of the leadership capacity and fighting strength of the Party organization. This is demonstrated through faster administrative procedures, expanded roads, completed projects, improved living environment, increased livelihoods and income reaching over 92.5 million VND/person/year; and whether legitimate requests from the people are listened to and resolved.
New requirements for the facility.
Within the Party's organizational system, grassroots Party organizations are the foundation and the political nucleus at the local level, directly leading cadres, Party members, and the people in implementing the Party's guidelines and policies, and the State's laws and regulations. Therefore, the Party's strength must first and foremost be demonstrated through the leadership capacity and fighting spirit of each grassroots Party organization.
This requirement becomes even more demanding in the context of a larger geographical area, a larger population, and a heavier workload after the reorganization and merger of communes and villages, along with the goal of faster and more sustainable development.
To enhance the leadership capacity and fighting strength of grassroots Party organizations in the new context, the most important thing is the ability to firmly grasp reality, correctly identify problems, choose the right priorities, and organize their implementation to the end.

Comrade Hoang Nghia Hieu - Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People's Council - emphasized: Enhancing the leadership capacity and fighting strength of grassroots Party organizations in the new context is not only reflected in issuing resolutions and maintaining organizational discipline, but more importantly, in the ability to firmly grasp reality, correctly identify problems, choose the right priorities, and organize their implementation to the end.
Party committees must be closely involved with the grassroots, be close to the people, promptly identify and resolve difficulties and obstacles; at the same time, they must promote the pioneering and exemplary role of cadres and party members, create consensus and mobilize the people's strength for development.
On the other hand, there must be a strong shift from "issuing resolutions" to "organizing the implementation of resolutions," from task-based leadership to leadership based on practical experience and results. Each task must have clear responsibilities, tasks, timelines, and expected outcomes; difficult issues, bottlenecks, and long-standing problems must be addressed decisively by the Party committee's leadership and guidance. The fighting capacity of the Party organization must be verified by concrete changes in socio-economic development, improved living standards, and increased satisfaction among the people.
Furthermore, it is necessary to continue innovating and improving the quality of Party branch activities; building a team of cadres, especially leaders, with the qualities, capabilities, prestige, and spirit of daring to think, daring to act, and daring to take responsibility; strengthening inspection and supervision, strictly maintaining discipline and order, and promoting digital transformation in leadership and management.
In the context of new development requirements, grassroots Party organizations must truly be the political nucleus; every cadre and Party member must uphold a high sense of responsibility, be closely involved with the grassroots, be close to the people, listen to and resolve the legitimate issues of the people.
