At the same time, the District People's Committee has paid attention to applying information technology in the direction, administration and implementation of public duties. The VNPT-iOffice document management and work management software has been deployed at the District People's Committee office and 21 communes and towns. 100% of civil servants have been given accounts to operate.

In addition, the District People's Committee has installed satisfaction assessment equipment and a mailbox to collect opinions from organizations and individuals in handling administrative procedures at the District's Reception and Results Department for people to evaluate. In addition, the District also created a form to directly solicit opinions at the desks of staff working at the One-Stop Department.

Through inspections at a number of departments, offices and Chau Quang commune, the inspection team assessed that some administrative procedures were still slow to be resolved (81 records), and were still handled at specialized departments. The district has paid attention to reviewing and evaluating administrative procedures but the results have not been high.

Inspection at commune-level units shows that there is no record of administrative procedure settlement tracking; the phone number for receiving feedback and recommendations on administrative reform has not been made public.

According to Tran Anh Tuan, Deputy Head of the Department of Administrative Reform, Department of Home Affairs, the observance of discipline and administrative discipline in some agencies and units is not serious; in the performance of public duties, a number of cadres, civil servants and public employees are still limited in skills and work handling style; and their behavior in office culture is not good.

"The district is requested to strengthen inspection and supervision of the implementation of discipline and administrative order, improve public ethics, and rectify the working attitude and style of cadres, civil servants, and public employees in communicating with citizens," said Mr. Tran Anh Tuan.

Creating highlights in administrative reform work

Concluding the meeting, Director of the Department of Home Affairs Le Dinh Ly assessed that Quy Hop district has not yet created a highlight to carry out the key tasks of the Administrative Reform Year. The district needs to be resolute in leadership and direction to set out more specific tasks, at the same time strengthen propaganda work from the district level to the commune level as well as the people, closely linked with inspection and supervision work.
