Lesson 1: Mobilizing intelligence and enthusiasm to build the Provincial Planning
To build the Provincial Planning, there were hundreds of contributions from scientists at home and abroad; central ministries, branches and sectors; departments and sectors in the province; through six Provincial Party Standing Committee Conferences, one Provincial Party Executive Committee Conference to review and give opinions; two Provincial People's Council sessions to pass resolutions and revised resolutions to submit to the Prime Minister for approval... That demonstrates the very high political determination of the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Party Standing Committee, the Provincial People's Council, the Provincial People's Committee to build a quality Planning, demonstrating the vision and aspirations of the province, bringing Ninh Binh to break through in the coming time.
Innovation in thinking and approach
The Ninh Binh Provincial Planning was built in a favorable context, including the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress; the Resolution of the Politburo on socio -economic development, ensuring national defense and security in the Red River Delta; the Resolution of the 22nd Provincial Party Congress, term 2020-2025, especially the National Master Plan approved by the National Assembly, national sectoral plans, especially plans on transport infrastructure and a number of provincial plans approved by the Prime Minister. This is the basis for Ninh Binh province to consider and specify development orientations in the province through the Ninh Binh Provincial Planning.
With these advantages, immediately after the Prime Minister signed the decision approving the Task of making the Ninh Binh Provincial Planning for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050, the Provincial People's Committee assigned the Department of Planning and Investment to be the agency to make the provincial planning. The work of making the provincial planning has been carried out in accordance with the procedures prescribed in Clause 4, Article 16 of the Law on Planning; including the following steps: Developing the task of making the provincial planning and submitting it to the Prime Minister for approval; assessing the current socio-economic development situation of the locality; developing planning ideas, proposing planning contents; finalizing the planning and sending it for comments according to regulations; receiving and explaining comments and finalizing the planning to submit to the Planning Appraisal Council. Finalizing the planning according to the conclusion of the Planning Appraisal Council and submitting it to the Planning Appraisal Council for review; finalizing the provincial planning dossier according to the review results and submitting it to the Provincial People's Council for consideration and approval of the planning to submit to the Prime Minister for approval.
The representative of Dai A Dong Investment and Development Joint Stock Company, the Planning consultant, said: The biggest difficulty when participating in the planning of Ninh Binh province is that the legal framework is still new, there is no basis for reference while the workload is very large. Therefore, the units have closely coordinated, regularly exchanged and promptly resolved problems and issues arising to ensure the progress and quality of the planning, especially the information and data in the draft must be accurate, contributing significantly to forecasting the development model of Ninh Binh province in the future.
The consulting unit has established the Ninh Binh Provincial Planning according to the integrated method, "bottom-up and top-down" approach, contributing to building a scientific and practical basis for establishing national planning, regional planning on spatial organization of socio-economic activities, national defense and security, urban and rural systems, infrastructure, land distribution, resource use and environmental protection as the basis for urban planning, rural planning, construction planning of district and inter-district regions in the area and building plans and development programs for sectors in the province.
Sharing about the process of making the Provincial Planning, the leader of the Department of Planning and Investment said: Although the central ministries and branches created favorable conditions, along with the attention and close direction of the provincial leaders; the coordination with a high sense of responsibility of the departments, branches, localities and consulting units, the process of making the Provincial Planning also encountered many difficulties and obstacles. Because this is the first time the province has made the Provincial Planning according to the Law on Planning, that is, integrating the previous separate sectoral and field plans into the Provincial Planning. Therefore, the process of making the Planning this time requires synchronous and unified coordination between departments, branches and localities as well as consultation and appraisal of the central ministries, branches and neighboring provinces.
In the process of implementing the Provincial Planning process, the requirement is to improve the quality, ensure consistency, suitability, feasibility, and meet the requirements of long-term strategic development of Ninh Binh province and sectors, fields, and localities in accordance with regional and national planning. Accordingly, the Ninh Binh Provincial People's Committee has consulted ministries, ministerial-level agencies, and People's Committees of provinces and cities in the region and neighboring areas, and the Provincial Fatherland Front Committee. At the same time, the People's Committees of districts and cities are required to notify the People's Committees of communes and agencies and organizations located in the area of the consultation on the draft Provincial Planning. The localities have directed the People's Committees of communes to be responsible for informing the community and relevant individuals about the consultation on the draft Provincial Planning.
In particular, when developing the planning idea and completing the planning report, Ninh Binh sought opinions from experts and scientists such as: Dr. Nguyen Duc Kien, Head of the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Group; Associate Professor, Dr. Le Xuan Ba, former Director of the Central Institute for Economic Management Research; Associate Professor, Dr. Le Bo Linh, former Deputy Chairman of the National Assembly's Committee on Science, Technology and Environment; Mr. Nguyen Tu Quang, Director of BKAV Technology Group; an international consulting unit from the Netherlands, etc.
With more than 300 dedicated and responsible contributions from relevant agencies, units, organizations and individuals, the planning work in Ninh Binh province ensures the planning goals and orientations; closely follows and concretizes the strategies, socio-economic development plans and related sectoral plans. The organization of planning, appraisal and approval is unified throughout the province.
Raising the level of theory and practice
Thus, from the time the Prime Minister approved the planning task (September 2020), through the planning steps until the Prime Minister approved the Provincial Planning (March 2024), it has been exactly 3.5 years, a relatively long time. In addition to the interruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the leader of the Department of Planning and Investment: Provincial planning is a job that the province is very concerned about, with high requirements. During the leadership and direction process, the Provincial People's Committee has been determined, creating "pressure" on sectors and consulting units to receive a quality product. In particular, to orient development in line with the potential, advantages and development trends of the country and the world, the province has organized many scientific seminars, including the scientific seminar "Defining Ninh Binh identity associated with building local brands", which has received the attention of hundreds of domestic scientists and managers.
The Provincial People's Committee has directed the specialized agencies to seriously absorb the opinions of the delegates and the Conclusion of the Prime Minister at the National Conference on "Development of Vietnam's cultural industries", the opinions of experts and scientists at conferences and scientific seminars in the past time, and to study and complete the contents of the Provincial Planning. Accordingly, some necessary contents need to be updated, edited and supplemented to ensure the implementation of the policies of the Party and the State and the viewpoints, goals and major orientations in the construction and development of Ninh Binh province that have been agreed upon by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Party Committee in leadership and direction.
In particular, the province has adjusted, supplemented, explained and committed to a number of contents of the Provincial Planning, including updating the development viewpoints, goals and visions to 2050, updating the development direction of the cultural industry associated with the creative economy and heritage economy into the development goals and directions of important industries. The contents of viewpoints, goals and directions for important industry development have been updated, adjusted and supplemented as a basis for implementing and realizing the aspiration of building and developing Ninh Binh province of the Party Committee, government and people of Ninh Binh province. On that basis, the Provincial Planning has affirmed its breakthrough thinking and strategic vision, which both inherits and elevates theory and practice, demonstrating the viewpoints, goals and great tasks to shape the development of our province for many future stages.
