In 2024, the State budget investment plan allocated to Dien Bien province by the Prime Minister totaled over 4,070 billion VND, with detailed allocation reaching 99.8%. The disbursement rate as of May 30th was 17.7%, lower than the same period last year; some funding sources have not yet been disbursed, such as ODA funds and funds for socio -economic recovery and development programs. Cumulative disbursement of funds carried over from 2023 to 2024 reached 17.2%. Throughout the province, 11 out of 40 project owners have yet to disburse funds.
The identified causes stem from a lack of decisive and thorough leadership and guidance in the implementation of projects in some departments, sectors, and localities; a lack of determination; and the failure to fully utilize the role of the leaders. Coordination among departments, sectors, and localities in resolving arising issues remains limited, infrequent, and ineffective. Planning by project owners is weak; the capacity of some project owners is limited, leading to delays in completing project documents, and the quality of project documents and consulting firms does not meet requirements.
In his directive speech, Provincial Party Secretary Tran Quoc Cuong requested the Party Committee of the Provincial People's Committee to urgently assign and delegate tasks to the district level to accelerate the disbursement of public investment capital. Party committees, governments at all levels, investors, and project management boards should focus on developing effective solutions to implement the public investment plan in the remaining months of 2024; striving to disburse over 95% of the allocated public investment capital. The Party Committee of the Provincial People's Committee should lead the Provincial People's Committee in identifying the causes of limitations in each locality and unit to find solutions to overcome them. At the same time, personnel work should be reviewed, especially regarding capacity, qualifications, and sense of responsibility, to promptly address and handle cases of weakness, negativity, and failure to complete assigned tasks; consolidate the staff, arrange work appropriately, and create a streamlined but highly competent and responsible apparatus.
The Provincial Party Secretary requested that local Party committees, governments, and departments strengthen their leadership and guidance responsibilities; propose detailed, specific, and practical solutions to ensure the disbursement rate meets regulations. He also urged the selection of key tasks to be implemented from now until the end of the year, especially for undisbursed funds such as ODA funds and funds from socio-economic recovery and development programs.
Emphasizing the immense tasks remaining in 2024, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Thanh Do requested that directors of departments and agencies, chairmen of district, town, and city People's Committees, directors of provincial project management boards, and investors further enhance their sense of responsibility and leverage their leadership role in directing, supervising, and inspecting. They must urgently review and immediately address difficulties, obstacles, and bottlenecks in the disbursement of public investment capital within their respective agencies and units. Promoting the disbursement of public investment capital must go hand in hand with state management of investment, ensuring the progress and quality of projects. Focus on resolving obstacles related to land clearance. Investors must develop a roadmap for each assigned task and commit to the disbursement schedule. Departments and agencies must minimize the time required for investment procedures.
The Department of Planning and Investment is tasked with monitoring and evaluating the disbursement of funds to advise the Provincial People's Committee on reallocating and adjusting capital plans from slow-disbursing projects to those with good disbursement rates; and advising on the establishment of working groups to inspect, supervise, and resolve difficulties and obstacles. The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee assigns the Department of Internal Affairs to use the commitments of agencies, units, and investors regarding the disbursement rate of public investment capital in 2024 as a basis for considering and advising the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee on evaluating the level of task completion of agencies, units, and heads of agencies, units, and localities in 2024.
For localities, it is necessary to continue strengthening leadership and guidance, and implementing a synchronized set of tasks and solutions to accelerate the progress of projects and disburse public investment capital plans for 2024.
