To attract high-quality investment resources and ensure project effectiveness, the province has continued to implement many solutions. The key solution is to drastically reform administration, ensure publicity, transparency, and tighten discipline and administrative order in public agencies.
In addition, the province continues to synchronously apply the quality management system in the operations of administrative agencies according to national standard TCVN ISO 9001:2008 to simplify the process and reduce negative impacts when handling administrative procedures for organizations, individuals and businesses coming to transact.
The Provincial People's Committee also directed the sectors to proactively arrange human and material resources at the electronic one-stop shop; review, inspect, and clarify the responsibilities of heads of agencies and units if there are weaknesses in administrative reform; quickly resolve administrative procedures in a number of areas that easily cause public outrage such as: business registration, investment, construction, land, etc.
Mr. Dinh Huu Hoa - Deputy Director of the Department of Planning and Investment - said: "The Department has promoted activities to support businesses in digital transformation, maintaining the operation of the Gia Lai Province Technology Supply and Demand Connection Point, the Industrial Property Information and Service Exploitation Station (IPPlatform Station), and the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Enquiry Point.
In the coming time, the Department will continue to build detailed information about the project for the investment calling list; proactively research and propose improvements to investment procedures as a basis for calling for investors.
Along with that, promote administrative reform, create an open and favorable investment and business environment for enterprises and investors; advise the Provincial People's Committee to promptly grasp and remove obstacles in each field for investors.
Regarding this issue, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Truong Hai Long affirmed: "The provincial leaders will continue to direct sectors and localities to be ready to listen, dialogue, share, and consider recommendations and proposals from businesses, cooperatives, and investors to create an open investment and business environment, creating all conditions for economic sectors to develop stably and sustainably.
It is recommended that departments, branches and localities continue to effectively implement relevant policies and solutions to support and remove difficulties for businesses, cooperatives and investors to create favorable conditions for recovery and development with the motto: "Taking people and businesses as the center, the subject and the goal, driving force and resource for development".
