Launching, announcing and awarding ceremony of the Handbook on implementing decentralization tasks and assigning authority to the People's Committees at the commune level in the fields of culture, sports and tourism

The two-level local government organization model will officially be applied nationwide from July 1, 2025, including provincial and communal levels - marking an important historical turning point in the innovation and development of our country.

Implementing the Prime Minister's direction on decentralization and assignment of authority to local governments at two levels in the fields of culture, sports and tourism , the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism directed the compilation of a Handbook to guide the implementation of decentralization tasks and assignment of authority to People's Committees at the commune level in the fields of culture, sports and tourism. The book has been published by the National Culture Publishing House, including printed books and e-books, through two platforms: nxbvanhoadantoc.vn and sachdientu.vn.

The handbook consists of 5 chapters, providing guidance on tasks, procedures for performing decentralized tasks, and assigning authority to the People's Committee and Chairman of the People's Committee at the commune level to perform a number of activities in the fields of culture, sports, tourism and information.

The handbook was published and launched to effectively implement the two-level local government organization model, enhance the efficiency, effectiveness and efficiency of the commune-level government as the closest level of government to the people, closely connected to the people, where management activities and administrative work are directly organized, which is an urgent requirement today.

The handbook is also a useful document to help officials and civil servants look up and master regulations, contributing to the effective implementation of the two-level local government organization model, improving the effectiveness and efficiency of commune-level governments in the fields of culture, sports and tourism, contributing to the good performance of the task of serving the people.

Speaking at the Handbook Launch Ceremony, Deputy Minister Phan Tam highly appreciated the units that compiled, reviewed and published this document in a short time but with very high quality and practicality.

Deputy Minister Phan Tam said that the Handbook was compiled concisely, clearly, and closely following the tasks assigned to the People's Committees at the commune and provincial levels in Decree 137, Decree 138, and Circular 09. The contents are all aimed at quick reference and immediate application, from granting certificates for public electronic game service points to handling procedures related to libraries, festivals, and many other cultural and sports activities. In addition to the printed version, the Ministry will publicize the electronic version on the Ministry's Electronic Information Portal.

Deputy Minister Phan Tam suggested that units under the Ministry, as well as the Departments of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Culture and Information, and Tourism of provinces and cities, also proactively post on their official websites and social networks so that all commune-level officials can access at any time, by phone or computer - more convenient and flexible.

The Center for Digital Transformation of Culture, Sports and Tourism urgently completed the interface, integrated convenient search tools, to turn the electronic version of the Handbook into a "living" tool, continuously updated and connected to local practices.

Departments of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Department of Culture and Information, Department of Tourism - proactively disseminate, organize training, and support commune levels to master the content of decentralization. Consider this a part of the work of accompanying the grassroots, not simply disseminating documents.

Commune-level People's Committees need to carefully study and flexibly apply according to local conditions; at the same time, boldly propose and reflect on remaining problems so that all levels and sectors can promptly resolve them.

The Handbook is not only a legal publication, but also a symbol of the new approach of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, proactively accompanying and supporting local authorities to perform public duties more effectively, more legally and closer to the people.
