Da Nang develops a team of officials to meet new requirements.

Over eight years since the implementation of Resolution No. 26-NQ/TW, Da Nang city's personnel work has undergone many positive and comprehensive changes. Facing the demands of the new development phase, Da Nang continues to select and improve the quality of its officials, ensuring they are close to the people, proactive, and accountable.

Personnel management is the backbone of the political system.

On May 28th, the Da Nang City Party Committee held a conference to summarize the implementation of Resolution No. 26-NQ/TW dated May 19, 2018, of the Central Committee on focusing on building a contingent of cadres at all levels, especially at the strategic level, with sufficient qualities, capabilities, and prestige commensurate with their tasks (Resolution No. 26-NQ/TW); and to disseminate and implement new documents from the Central Committee and the City Party Committee on improving the quality of grassroots cadres.

According to the report, in implementing Resolution No. 26-NQ/TW, the Da Nang City Party Committee has focused on leading and directing the synchronous implementation of many solutions, gradually improving the quality of the cadre team to meet the requirements of the tasks in the new situation.

The Standing Committee of the Quang Nam Provincial Party Committee and the former Standing Committee of the Da Nang City Party Committee, as well as the Standing Committee of the Da Nang City Party Committee after reorganization, have seriously and promptly implemented Resolution No. 26-NQ/TW and Plan No. 10-KH/TW. Research, study, dissemination, and propaganda work have been organized through various appropriate forms from the provincial and city levels down to the grassroots.

Following the reorganization, the Da Nang City Party Committee continued to review, adjust, supplement, and refine regulations, rules, projects, and plans on personnel work to suit the new organizational structure and the two-tiered local government model.

Inspection, supervision, and guidance work has been strengthened, focusing on decentralization, delegation of authority, personnel placement and utilization, consolidation of leadership and management positions, and resolution of policies and benefits for officials affected by the restructuring.

Personnel work is placed within the overall task of building and rectifying the Party, building the political system, and reforming the Party's leadership methods. The processes of evaluation, planning, training, fostering, rotation, appointment, and nomination of cadres are implemented more synchronously, focusing on quality, structure, continuity, and the requirements of political tasks.

To date, the city's staff has been gradually strengthened and consolidated, basically ensuring the quantity, quality, structure, and task requirements. The reports and presentations from the localities all clearly indicated the achievements as well as the limitations and challenges in current personnel work.

Taking the example of Hai Chau ward - the central ward of Da Nang city - the lesson learned in implementing personnel work in this locality is to uphold the principles of democratic centralism, unity, and consensus; and to promote the exemplary role, responsibility, and leadership of the head in personnel work.

The placement and deployment of cadres must be truly fair, objective, and ensure the right person is in the right job, with practical effectiveness as the highest criterion; avoiding averageization and indiscriminate evaluation in cadre utilization. Cadre evaluation must be based on output, on quantifiable work performance on a monthly and quarterly basis, resolutely eliminating the mindset of avoiding or shirking responsibility; the results of cadre evaluation are an important criterion for cadre placement and utilization.

In Ngu Hanh Son ward, the selection, placement, and utilization of cadres are carried out cautiously, ensuring that they meet the standards for their positions, align with cadre planning, and meet the practical needs of the locality, agency, and unit. This creates conditions for cadres to strive, train, and develop their strengths and work capabilities.

People come to the Da Nang City Public Administrative Service Center to submit their applications.

We boldly appointed and promoted young cadres with good moral character and competence to key positions, prioritizing the appointment of female leaders and managers. After being appointed, these cadres have effectively fulfilled their roles and demonstrated their leadership and management capabilities through concrete results.

Meanwhile, Nui Thanh commune has focused on the strategic personnel planning process, which has been implemented very early and systematically. The commune has completed the review and supplementary proposals for the approval of leadership personnel plans for the terms (2025-2030, 2026-2031, 2030-2035, and 2031-2036) for positions under the management of the City Party Committee Standing Committee; and simultaneously approved the comprehensive plans for the aforementioned terms for positions under the management of the commune Party Committee.

Party development work has been emphasized, with 32 new party members admitted since the beginning of 2026 (achieving 46.4% of the assigned target), and most key positions in villages and neighborhoods are held by party members.

Nui Thanh High School will hold a ceremony to admit new Party members from its students in May 2026.

In Phuoc Thanh commune, alongside the achievements, the implementation of tasks reveals that personnel management still faces many difficulties and obstacles, especially in the context of a vast, rugged mountainous area with a scattered population, increasingly demanding tasks, and limited, inadequate, and weak local human resources.

By June 2026, this commune still lacks 11 staff positions compared to the allocated number; many important professional positions such as land administration, construction, information technology, finance-budget, and digital transformation have not been adequately staffed. A portion of officials and civil servants, while meeting the qualification standards, have limited practical skills, advisory capacity, problem-solving abilities, and information technology application skills; meanwhile, the workload after the merger and operation of the two-tiered local government model has increased significantly.

Building a team of responsible and people-oriented officials.

Concluding the conference, Central Committee member, Secretary of the Da Nang City Party Committee, and Head of the Da Nang City National Assembly Delegation, Le Ngoc Quang, emphasized: After more than eight years of implementing Resolution No. 26-NQ/TW, the city's personnel work has seen many positive and comprehensive changes. The awareness of Party committees and organizations at all levels regarding the crucial position and role of personnel work has continued to improve; many policies and solutions have been implemented more synchronously, systematically, and rigorously.

The Secretary of the Da Nang City Party Committee also frankly acknowledged some shortcomings such as: the quality of the cadre in some areas is not uniform; the leadership, management, and operational capacity of some cadres is still limited; the spirit of innovation, daring to think, daring to act, and daring to take responsibility is not clearly evident in some places; the evaluation of cadres is sometimes superficial; and the identification, training, and nurturing of young cadres and promising cadres have not met long-term requirements.

Member of the Central Committee of the Party, Secretary of the City Party Committee, and Head of the National Assembly delegation for Da Nang City, Le Ngoc Quang, delivered the concluding remarks at the conference.

Evaluating, analyzing, and assigning specific tasks to each locality and unit regarding the continued implementation of Resolution No. 26-NQ/TW; and disseminating and implementing new documents from the Central Committee and the City Party Committee on improving the quality of grassroots officials, Comrade Le Ngoc Quang affirmed: In the current operating conditions of the new government model, if the team of officials, especially grassroots officials, do not keep up with the requirements of the tasks, do not innovate their thinking, and do not proactively adapt, it will become a bottleneck for the city's development. The city does not lack people to work, but what the city needs most is a team of officials who are truly capable, willing to take responsibility, and willing to act for the common good and solve problems for the people and businesses.

The Secretary of the Da Nang City Party Committee requested continued adherence to the principle that the transfer, rotation, and placement of cadres among agencies, units, and localities; from the city to the grassroots, and from the grassroots to the city; and between the Party, government, Front, and socio-political organizations is a normal and regular requirement in personnel work.

Every official must clearly understand that any position that serves the development of the city and the people is both an honor and a responsibility. A modern government cannot be built with outdated management thinking, with a fear of making mistakes and an avoidance of responsibility.

“For Da Nang to develop rapidly and sustainably, it must first build a team of officials with sufficient courage, competence, and a desire to contribute and act for the common good. Any work or task that serves the city's development and the people is glorious. That is the noble goal, the mission that each of us must define and strive for,” Comrade Le Ngoc Quang emphasized.
