Promoting leadership accountability under two-tier local government
After one year of operation, the two-tier local government model has recorded active changes, with responsibilities clarified and specified to each civil servant.
Promoting accountability under two-tier local government
After one year of operating the two-tier local government, the apparatus in Le Ich Moc ward has ensured smooth and effective performance thanks to the initiative and accountability of its officers and civil servants.
Following the merger of 5 former communes and wards from the old Thuy Nguyen district, the locality faced a large volume of work. The Party Committee assigned clear responsibilities to each member of the Standing Committee and Executive Committee, to all departments and civil servants. Fostering a spirit of ‘daring to think, daring to act, daring to take responsibility’, the ward’s staff have worked beyond regular days and hours to resolve tasks and serve residents.
It is evident that after one year of the two-tier local government model, the roles and responsibilities of each level and individual have become increasingly distinct under the “six clears” principle: clear person, clear task, clear timing, clear responsibility, and clear authority.
At the mid-term review conference on one year of implementing the overall political system organization and the two-tier local government model last month, Secretary of the Hai Phong City Party Committee Le Ngoc Chau acknowledged that the administrative-unit rearrangement and rollout of the new model constitute an organizational ‘revolution’. The goal is to restructure administrative units, establish progressive governance methods, so the apparatus runs smoothly, leaner, and with greater efficacy and efficiency, better serving residents and businesses.
Performance assessment renewed by concrete outputs
Alongside achievements, the next-stage requirement is to continue perfecting operating mechanisms and building a cadre that is more capable and more accountable for assigned tasks.
Secretary of the Hai Phong City Party Committee Le Ngoc Chau stressed that the city will regularly conduct thorough reviews and evaluations of officials based on assigned workloads and the quality of task completion; it will promptly replace weak or low-performing staff while identifying, nurturing and promoting those with ability, integrity and commitment.
The objective is to build a corps of officials, civil servants and workers, who have full intellect, resilience, discipline, a sense of honor, a desire to serve, and the determination to overcome difficulties with the goal of developing Hai Phong into a modern, civilized, ecological and livable port city.
