On August 23, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh signed Official Dispatch No. 144/CD-TTg on ensuring the reduction and simplification of administrative procedures, business conditions and the smooth and effective implementation of administrative procedures in the implementation of two-level local government.
Pursuant to Resolution No. 66/NQ-CP dated March 26, 2025 of the Government on the Program to reduce and simplify administrative procedures related to production and business activities in 2025 and 2026 and the Prime Minister 's Directive Telegrams, Ministries and agencies have reviewed and developed Plans to reduce and simplify administrative procedures and business conditions.
To date, 10 ministries and agencies have submitted plans to the Prime Minister for consideration and approval, of which the Prime Minister has approved plans to reduce and simplify 1,315 administrative procedures and reduce 872 business conditions under the management of 4 ministries; 3 ministries and agencies are submitting to the Prime Minister and 3 ministries and agencies are continuing to supplement and complete the dossier to submit to the Prime Minister.
It is expected that in 2025, 488 administrative procedures will be abolished, 2,675 administrative procedures will be simplified (accounting for 74.86% of the total number of administrative procedures related to production and business activities) and 2,028 out of a total of 7,806 business conditions will be cut (reaching a rate of 26%).
Provinces and centrally-run cities have focused on implementing administrative procedures when arranging administrative units and implementing the two-level local government organization model.
The administrative procedure information system of 34 provinces and cities has been upgraded.

From July 1 to August 23, the total number of records received by 34 provinces and cities was 6.5 million administrative procedure records, of which 4.8 million administrative procedure records were received at the commune level (an increase of about 25% over the same period in 2024).
However, besides the achieved results, the implementation of the tasks in the Government's Resolution and the Prime Minister's Official Dispatch by a number of ministries, branches and localities still has shortcomings and limitations, specifically:
Firstly, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Home Affairs have not yet submitted to the Prime Minister a plan to reduce and simplify administrative procedures in accordance with the Government's requirements in Resolution No. 66/NQ-CP and the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Health are expected to not achieve the target of reducing at least 30% of business conditions.
Second, the information systems of some ministries (such as household registration; business registration, business households, cooperatives; information disclosure on animal feed...) have not yet been upgraded in time to meet the requirements of implementing a two-level local government, performing administrative procedures regardless of administrative boundaries and connecting and sharing data with the provincial administrative procedure settlement information system.
Third, some national and specialized databases are still slow to be completed and put into operation or do not meet the requirements of "correct, sufficient, clean, and live" data to serve the reduction and simplification of administrative procedures.
Fourth, the administrative procedure settlement information system of some localities has been upgraded but is not comprehensive, adequate, and unstable; the internal procedures of administrative procedures on the administrative procedure settlement information system have not been adjusted in a timely manner, leading to the provision of online public services not being smooth and effective.
Fifth, the arrangement of cadres and civil servants of some agencies has not yet fully ensured and met the professional and technical requirements of the job position. The arrangement of personnel is still uneven among the Public Administration Service Centers, not meeting the job requirements.
Sixth, technical facilities in some localities are still lacking, and the issuance of digital signatures for official use is slow, so working conditions cannot be guaranteed.
Seventh, the number of administrative procedures providing online public services in some localities is still low; some places are not equipped with computers to support the implementation of online public services for people;
Eighth, propaganda, guidance and support for people and businesses in some localities are not really effective.
