Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Tan Vinh, Deputy Director of the Academy of Politics Region II, assessed: Khanh Hoa has improved public administration and governance in the recent period. The "30 days without paper" initiative and the rate of on-time records reaching 98-99% show its effectiveness. Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Tan Vinh suggested that the province should continue to perfect its specific institutions, standardize processes, improve staff capacity and expand social consultation mechanisms.
Proposing some solutions to improve modern state governance capacity in Khanh Hoa , Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Tan Vinh believes that: It is necessary to clearly decentralize power, grant autonomy in planning, finance and personnel so that the province can proactively manage and flexibly receive support from the Central Government. Pilot models of governance, not only in economics but also in administration, construction, environment, human resources, etc., should be implemented in Van Phong economic zone, before being expanded.
According to Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Tan Vinh, digital government is the pillar in modernizing public administration. To do this, Khanh Hoa needs to invest heavily in information technology infrastructure, the key task is to integrate databases on administration, land, population, businesses and operations onto a unified platform.
The province needs to invest in feedback receiving platforms such as GovApp, Call Center, Chatbot to process information quickly; establish a mechanism to publicly and transparently disclose data on budget, bidding and recruitment.
" Although Khanh Hoa has had positive changes in the PAR, SIPAS, and PAPI indexes, the province still needs to continue to promote specific institutional reforms, invest in digital government, improve staff capacity, and build a transparent monitoring mechanism. The goal is not only to become a centrally-governed city in terms of administration, but also to become a modern, transparent, and effective development center in governance practices," Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Tan Vinh emphasized.
