Ministries and ministerial-level agencies review and evaluate administrative procedures under their authority to further promote the decentralization and delegation of administrative procedures to local governments.
The Ministry of Justice has recently issued an official document to ministries and ministerial-level agencies requesting them to review and evaluate administrative procedures under their authority in order to further promote decentralization and delegation of administrative procedure implementation to local governments.
The document states that on March 11, 2026, the Ministry of Justice issued Official Dispatch No. 1409 requesting ministries, ministerial-level agencies, and provincial and municipal People’s Committees to review, reduce, and simplify administrative procedures in 2026 in accordance with the objectives, requirements, and directives outlined in resolutions, conclusions, and notices of the Politburo, the Party Central Committee, General Secretary To Lam, the Central Steering Committee for Science and Technology Development, Innovation and Digital Transformation, as well as those of the Government and the Prime Minister.
Regarding the decentralization and delegation of authority in handling administrative procedures, according to data compiled from the National Database on Administrative Procedures on the National Public Service Portal, as of March 20, 2026, administrative procedures under the authority of ministries and ministerial-level agencies accounted for 44.7% of the total number of administrative procedures within the scope of state management.
To further implement the policy of strengthening decentralization and delegation of authority, the Ministry of Justice has requested ministries and ministerial-level agencies to focus on reviewing and assessing administrative procedures under their jurisdiction in order to continue delegating the implementation of these procedures to local governments.
Specifically, the review should clearly identify: The number and names of administrative procedures proposed for delegation; The number and names of procedures expected to be delegated to local governments but requiring a roadmap (with specific reasons and timelines); The number and names of procedures that will remain under the authority of ministries and ministerial-level agencies (clearly stating reasons why delegation is not feasible); The number of procedures proposed for abolition.
At the same time, ministries and ministerial-level agencies are required to compile and submit reports on the results of the review and evaluation of administrative procedures under their authority to the Ministry of Justice no later than March 26, 2026, so that the ministry can consolidate the information and report to the Government at the regular Government meeting for March 2026.
