In Decision No. 758-QD/TTg, the Government assigned the Ministry of Home Affairs to preside over and coordinate with relevant ministries and branches to draft a Government document, including researching, determining a roadmap, and providing guidance on the arrangement and reorganization of villages and residential groups in a streamlined manner, enhancing self-management, and directly serving the lives of local communities. The implementation period for this task is to be completed before May 31, 2026.

In addition, the Government Steering Committee's dispatch on the arrangement of administrative units at all levels and the construction of a two-level local government organization model also orients to continue to identify villages and residential groups as self-governing organizations of residential communities, not administrative levels. For now, the existing villages and residential groups will be kept intact.

After completing the arrangement of administrative units at all levels, the Government will assign the Ministry of Home Affairs to study and provide guidance under the direction of competent authorities on the arrangement and reorganization of villages and residential groups in a streamlined direction, directly serving the lives of the local community.

By the end of 2021, the country had 90,508 villages and residential groups. Of these, there were 69,580 villages and 20,928 residential groups.

According to Decree 33/2023/ND-CP, part-time workers in villages and residential groups with no more than 3 positions (including Party cell secretary, village or residential group head, head of the Front's working committee) are entitled to monthly allowances.

Circular 07/2024/TT-BNV stipulates that for part-time workers at the commune, village, and residential group levels, the allowance fund is allocated by the State budget to each commune, village, and residential group as prescribed in Decree 33/2023/ND-CP. Currently, this allowance level is calculated based on the basic salary of VND 2.34 million/month, as prescribed in Decree 73/2024/ND-CP.
