Along with the achieved results, the operation of the two-level government model in the province still faces difficulties due to the uneven quality of commune-level officials in terms of capacity, experience, and expertise; lack of specialized personnel in some fields; limited facilities and information technology infrastructure at the Commune-level Public Administration Service Center; currently, at the commune and ward level, the human resources in charge of digital transformation are still lacking and weak or inexperienced...
Information technology equipment at the People's Committees at the commune level and the Public Administration Service Center at the commune level has just been rearranged and re-equipped at a basic level to serve the work of solving problems. Currently, the units are continuing to purchase and add more equipment to suit the activities of the agencies and units....
In terms of awareness, some communes and wards still have limited understanding of the fields of radiation safety, innovation, digital transformation and startups, leading to confusion in coordination. Human resources specializing in science and technology, innovation and information technology at the commune level are still lacking and weak; new staff do not have practical experience. The ratio of online applications compared to the total number of applications processed is still low, people are still hesitant to submit applications online; many organizations and individuals do not fully understand the online application submission process, so they prefer to submit directly at the one-stop department.
Changing the new administrative boundaries after the merger will lead to a change in the address on the certificate, creating additional procedures in handling administrative procedures...
