The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has just held a launching ceremony, announced and awarded the Handbook on guiding the implementation of decentralization tasks and authority assignment for People's Committees (PCs) at the commune level in the fields of culture, sports and tourism.

Representatives of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism presented the handbook to local representatives.

Implementing the Prime Minister's direction on decentralization and assignment of authority to local governments at two levels in the fields of culture, sports and tourism , the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism directed the compilation of a Handbook guiding the implementation of decentralization tasks and assignment of authority to People's Committees at the commune level in the fields of culture, sports and tourism. The book has been published by the National Culture Publishing House in print and e-books through two platforms: nxbvanhoadantoc.vn and sachdientu.vn.

The handbook consists of 5 chapters, providing guidance on tasks, procedures for performing decentralized tasks, and assigning authority to the People's Committee and Chairman of the People's Committee at the commune level to perform a number of activities in the fields of culture, sports, tourism and information.

The purpose of publishing the handbook is to effectively implement the two-level local government organization model, enhance the efficiency, effectiveness, and performance of the commune-level government as the closest level of government to the people, closely connected to the people, where management activities and administrative work are directly organized, which is an urgent requirement today.

Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Phan Tam spoke at the ceremony.

Speaking at the handbook launching ceremony, on behalf of the leaders of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Deputy Minister Phan Tam highly appreciated the units that compiled, reviewed and published this document in a short time but with very high quality and practicality.

According to the Deputy Minister, the handbook is compiled concisely, clearly, closely following the tasks assigned by the People's Committees at the commune and provincial levels in Decree 137, Decree 138 and Circular 09; the contents are all aimed at quick reference and immediate application, from granting certificates for public electronic game service points to handling procedures related to libraries, festivals and many other cultural and sports activities.

The ceremony took place in a solemn atmosphere.

From now on, units under the Ministry, as well as provinces and cities, will be directed to proactively post on their official websites and social networks so that all commune-level officials can access at any time, by phone or computer - more convenient and flexible.

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism also requested the Departments, Divisions and units to carry out a number of tasks: The Center for Digital Transformation of Culture-Sports-Tourism urgently completes the interface, integrates convenient search tools, to turn the electronic version of the handbook into a "living" tool, continuously updated and connected to local practices; proactively disseminate, organize training, and support commune levels to master the content of decentralization. Consider this a part of the work of accompanying the grassroots, not simply disseminating documents.

In addition, the People's Committees at the commune level need to carefully study and flexibly apply according to local conditions; at the same time, boldly propose and reflect on remaining problems so that all levels and sectors can promptly resolve them.

Local representatives receive the handbook.

"This is not just a professional document, but a state management initiative aimed at the grassroots, for the people. Your interest and sharing will help the Handbook reach the right people, in the right place, with the right needs," said the Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

Mr. Phung Huy Cuong, Director - Editor-in-Chief of the National Culture Publishing House said: "In addition to 4,000 handbooks designed and printed in a compact and convenient way to send to all 34 Departments of Culture, Sports and Tourism and 3,321 commune-level administrative units nationwide, the Publishing House also publishes modern electronic publications, distributed at the addresses: sachdientu.vn; ebook.gov.vn and nxbvanhoadantoc.vn to serve the research needs of grassroots cultural officials and the general public through mobile devices and computers in a convenient and flexible manner".

At the ceremony, leaders of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism presented a number of Handbooks to representatives of the Departments of Culture, Sports and Tourism; Departments of Culture, Sports and Tourism; Departments of Tourism of localities, demonstrating their proactiveness, companionship and support for local authorities to perform public duties more effectively, in accordance with the law and closer to the people.
