Long Phieng continues its journey of development

After a month of implementing the arrangement and merger of administrative units according to the 2-level local government model, Long Phieng commune has quickly stabilized its organizational structure and implemented political, economic and social tasks. The major changes in boundaries and administration have created opportunities for the Party Committee, government and people of Long Phieng to promote solidarity and build the commune to develop day by day.

The new Long Phieng commune was established on the basis of merging two communes Long Phieng and Chieng Tuong. After the merger, the commune has an area of 147.8 km², with a population of more than 11,100 people. Immediately after completing the merger, the commune quickly completed its organizational structure in a streamlined and efficient manner. Key leadership positions and specialized departments were arranged appropriately according to regulations, ensuring the smooth operation of the new government system.

One of the bright spots in the process of building the government after the merger is the effective operation of the Long Phieng Commune Public Administration Service Center. With the goal of serving people quickly, conveniently and transparently, the center applies the "Electronic One-Stop Shop" model including 5 standardized steps from receiving, processing to returning results.

Mr. Vi Van Khu, Director of Long Phieng Commune Public Administration Service Center, shared: The commune has proactively coordinated with superior agencies to review administrative procedures, publicly post the settlement process and establish a professional team to support people. At the same time, the Center coordinated with the Youth Union to organize training and guide people to submit documents online on the National Public Service Portal. To date, the Center has received and processed 238 documents, 100% of which have returned results on time and before the deadline. In addition, the coordination with the Commune Post Office to return results by post has contributed to reducing costs and travel time for people in remote areas.

In addition, the commune focuses on leading economic development, improving people's lives and building new rural areas. Mr. Lu Van Chung, Chairman of Long Phieng Commune People's Committee, said: The commune continues to review and supplement planning, promote the development of high-tech agriculture; promote the development of goods, services and trade.

Currently, Long Phieng commune has nearly 2,000 hectares of fruit trees of all kinds, including: longan, plum, mango, grapefruit... in which, many models are promoting high economic efficiency. Livestock is maintained and developed in the direction of goods, with a total herd of cattle and poultry reaching more than 48,000 heads.

Promoting the strengths of each locality and organizing production reasonably helps people increase their income and stabilize their lives. Typical examples include the model of grafting longan with pig farming of Phuong Nam Cooperative; the model of off-season plums and early-ripening plums of Tien Dat and Anh Duong Cooperatives... These models not only increase income, but also contribute to the formation of concentrated commodity production areas, promoting linkages along the value chain.
