The transition from organization to efficient operation.

After nearly a month of operating the two-tiered local government system, Ca Mau province has recorded positive initial results. The province is focusing on implementing further directions as directed by the Prime Minister, aiming to build a streamlined, effective, and efficient government that better serves the people.

• Ensuring the smooth operation of the two-tiered government model.
• Focus on removing obstacles in implementing administrative procedures and digital transformation in the initial phase of operating the two-tiered local government model.
• Ho Thi Ky Commune launches and operates an online application support point.

Positive initial results

Following the consolidation of provincial-level administrative units, Ca Mau province now has 9 wards and 55 communes. From July 1st, the province has been operating a two-tiered local government model, aiming for a streamlined, efficient, and effective administrative apparatus. Accordingly, personnel arrangements have been carried out meticulously, democratically, objectively, transparently, fairly, and in accordance with the Party's principles and regulations and the local context, ensuring that services for citizens and businesses continue as normal.

The PVHCC Center of Ly Van Lam ward receives and processes administrative procedures for citizens.

The province is actively reorganizing its offices and public housing, ensuring the necessary infrastructure for the smooth operation of the new administrative apparatus. Communes and wards have established public administrative service centers (PVHCC), issued working regulations and related documents to ensure the centers operate effectively. Regarding staffing and center operation, initially, 3,420 civil servant positions have been temporarily allocated, along with 31,976 salaried employees from the state budget, 2,921 commune-level officials and civil servants, and 2,331 part-time commune-level personnel.

The province promptly and adequately provided facilities and equipment, ensuring suitable working conditions for officials, civil servants, and employees at the provincial and commune levels. Simultaneously, it developed plans for the arrangement and disposal of public assets after the completion of district-level administrative unit restructuring and commune-level administrative unit reorganization; and prepared the infrastructure and information technology to serve the two levels of local government.

Besides the achievements, the operation of the two-tiered government apparatus still faces some difficulties, such as: localized surpluses or shortages of leadership positions in some agencies and units; inadequate technical infrastructure in some commune-level units, leading to disruptions in work processing; and scattered commune-level offices, causing difficulties in directing and managing operations.

Comrade Nguyen Ho Hai, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, directed that in the initial period of operating the two-tiered local government apparatus, difficulties and shortcomings are unavoidable; Party committees and governments at all levels need to continue to strive, work together, and be united to make the local apparatus operate effectively, efficiently, smoothly, and better serve the people.

Improving staff capacity and increasing citizen satisfaction.

The reorganization of commune-level and provincial-level administrative units not only aims to streamline the apparatus and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of state management, but also opens up new development opportunities for the southernmost region of the country. Ca Mau province is expected to become a diversified economic region with solid pillars such as agriculture, industry, renewable energy, tourism, and especially the marine economy.

According to Mr. Pham Thanh Ngai, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, the locality is continuing to organize the reception and processing of administrative procedures in the area in accordance with the directives of the National Assembly , the Government, and the Prime Minister, ensuring the maintenance and improvement of the satisfaction level of people and businesses with the quality of service provided by state agencies.

An Trach commune is stepping up investment in information technology and telecommunications infrastructure to support public service activities.

The Provincial People's Committee has just completed a review to ensure adequate human resources, facilities, and equipment at the provincial and commune-level Public Service Centers, especially for areas with a large volume of applications such as land, civil registration, business registration, construction, and other newly decentralized and delegated areas of authority. This aims to ensure that administrative procedures are carried out regardless of administrative boundaries within the province, preventing bottlenecks and delays in the processing of administrative procedures and public services.

Simultaneously, the province continuously provides professional and technical training; regularly and consistently updates knowledge and information for its staff, prioritizing important areas such as taxation, construction, business registration, healthcare, education, environment, and justice, ensuring timely response during the operation of the new administrative apparatus.

In addition, it is necessary to develop programs and direct the organization of training and skill development in modern technology, administrative management, and administrative communication skills to enhance the capacity of officials, civil servants, and public employees in both professional expertise and digital skills, especially in remote and disadvantaged areas where implementation conditions are limited.

Increase investment in healthcare and education.

In the process of reorganizing its administrative apparatus, Ca Mau prioritizes budget allocation, land, and infrastructure to strengthen education and healthcare; it also implements solutions to mobilize other legitimate resources to invest in infrastructure and equipment for educational institutions, especially in disadvantaged areas that do not meet minimum infrastructure standards, and in ethnic minority boarding schools, in order to further improve the quality of education, care, and nurturing of preschool children, boarding and semi-boarding students, and students from ethnic minority areas. Buildings within educational institutions must be safe, sturdy, and meet the area standards and regulations currently in force.

In particular, Mr. Ngo Vu Thang, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, emphasized that the locality is committed to ensuring there is no shortage of convenient medical facilities for the people; guaranteeing that people receive timely and effective healthcare. The People's Committees at the commune level will ensure sufficient schools and classrooms for each educational level and medical facilities for examination, treatment, and healthcare for the people, in accordance with the characteristics and situation of the locality after the reorganization.

Overall, the process of consolidating the organizational structure at the provincial and commune levels in Ca Mau province after the merger has been implemented systematically and according to a planned roadmap, with close guidance from the central government and close coordination from local authorities at all levels, aiming to ensure stability and sustainable development, and to better serve the people.
