Currently, Lam Dong has implemented policies and regimes for over 2,000 cases of civil servants and public employees according to Decree No. 178/2024/ND-CP and Decree No. 67/2025/ND-CP.
In the process of organizing the implementation of the two-level local government, Lam Dong Provincial Party Secretary Y Thanh Ha Nie Kdam also raised a number of difficulties and problems, of which the most prominent are: The document management system, processing flow and receiving records in some localities still have errors. Regarding current administrative procedures, there are still some problems in the determination of processing authority, some information fields do not have full unit names when submitting documents online, and the location has not been established on the system... In addition, there are no regulations on regional allowances and attraction allowances for civil servants. Ministries and branches have not yet issued complete Circulars regulating the functions, tasks and powers of departments, branches and public service units, so localities still face difficulties in the implementation process.
Lam Dong Province requests ministries and branches to share, synchronize data, and connect specialized data software to carry out procedures for people. In parallel with resolving the retirement policy according to Decree 178, it is recommended that competent agencies soon develop a salary increase roadmap for cadres and civil servants to attract and retain competent and qualified people to stabilize the cadres and civil servants. It is recommended to amend Decree 170/2025/ND-CP to allow the People's Committees at the commune level to recruit civil servants on the basis of the Provincial People's Committee promulgating regulations on recruiting civil servants at the commune level.
Regarding the preparation for Party Congresses at all levels, implementing the Conclusion of the Deputy Prime Minister and implementing the Decision of the Steering Committee for the merger of Lam Dong, Binh Thuan and Dak Nong provinces on the establishment of the Editorial Team for the Documents of the Congress of Delegates of the Lam Dong Provincial Party Committee (new) for the term 2025-2030, relevant agencies of the 3 provinces: Lam Dong, Binh Thuan and Dak Nong have proactively coordinated to research, synthesize and develop the draft Political Report of Lam Dong Province (new) to submit to the Provincial Party Congress for the term 2025-2030 to ensure the progress, orientation and direction of the Central Government.
The direction of organizing the Party Congress at the commune level in the province ensures progress, quality, and requirements set out in the plan. Up to now, 124/124 communes, wards, and special zones of Lam Dong have basically completed the content of the documents serving the Party Congress at the commune level for the 2025-2030 term in accordance with the Central's orientation and at the same time, close to the practical conditions of each locality.
