Support policies in the education sector have contributed to improving facilities and enhancing the quality of teaching and learning for teachers and students. Support policies for the development of public health human resources have contributed to attracting and training human resources to meet the needs of improving the quality of medical examination and treatment...

At the working session, members of the monitoring delegation pointed out a number of limitations in the implementation of the Resolutions, such as: there is still a situation of not issuing documents to implement the Resolutions; many policies have not allocated enough resources according to the plan, so there are still policy debts; Resolutions on investment and development policy mechanisms have barely met the funding needs for implementation.

LabourMonitoring, urging and supervising the implementation of Resolutions are irregular and untimely; many issued policy mechanisms have many shortcomings in the implementation process but are not reviewed to advise competent authorities to amend, supplement, abolish or replace, leading to extremely difficult implementation, low efficiency or no implementation.

ISSUING RESOLUTIONS WITH FOCUS AND KEY POINTS

Speaking at the meeting, Comrade Nguyen Duc Trung - Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee respectfully acknowledged the frank opinions of the monitoring delegation, and at the same time requested to fully absorb and overcome the shortcomings and limitations. The Provincial People's Committee will propose to amend and supplement a number of Resolutions in the spirit of focusing on key points.

Assessing the implementation of the Resolutions, although there are still some limitations, comrade Nguyen Duc Trung said that these Resolutions have promoted economic development and improved people's lives. In recent times, Nghe An's economic growth has not been high but has been sustainable. For a locality with a large area, large population, border area, and a large ethnic minority population, achieving these results has a very important role of the Resolutions issued by the Provincial People's Council.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee also frankly acknowledged that the shortcomings and limitations were due to subjective reasons, from the issue of directing implementation, supervision, resource allocation... And the bottleneck was the lack of allocation of enough resources and the allocation was not focused, still scattered, and lacked uniformity.

“If we want to develop, we must have an investment policy. Although in the past, investment attraction work has been limited, not attracting key projects. Therefore, we must review investment attraction policies in the coming time.”

According to the head of the provincial People's Committee, at this time the province has a great opportunity, which is the wave of investment shift. Because Nghe An has a very large area of ​​industrial parks. At the same time, he said that there should be a new approach: in addition to supporting the poor, it is necessary to support those who dare to get rich, because they create value for the province, create jobs and income for the people.

Concluding the working session, Comrade Nguyen Xuan Son - Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Council acknowledged the great efforts of the Provincial People's Committee in implementing the Resolutions on mechanisms and policies for socio-economic development in the area.

Agreeing with the shortcomings and limitations pointed out by the meeting participants, comrade Nguyen Xuan Son suggested that the Provincial People's Committee prioritize advising on the issuance of policy mechanisms from the beginning of the period, focusing on major, key, and focal policies, and not issuing policies that are not really necessary. Strictly comply with the procedures and policy regulations, focusing on the affected subjects.

At the same time, simplify and limit cumbersome administrative procedures; when developing policies, it is necessary to identify implementation resources; strive to develop resolutions, mechanisms, and policies for immediate implementation; allocate funds for the promulgation of legal documents.

Comrade Nguyen Xuan Son also requested the Provincial People's Committee to promptly issue documents to implement the Resolutions; clearly define the focal points and responsible agencies for implementation; strengthen coordination with local authorities, strive to allocate adequate and timely resources; strengthen information, supervision, and draw experience from the implementation of mechanisms and policies.
