Yen Chau commune officials operate a system to monitor the progress of administrative procedure settlement.

Currently, many old district-level tasks have been transferred to the commune level to move towards the goal of building a government close to the people and the grassroots. This is not simply a matter of streamlining the organizational apparatus, but also a major test of the governance and service capacity of the public administration system, especially in ensuring that the transition process does not disrupt people's lives and business operations.

The province has synchronously deployed many solutions to ensure infrastructure, processes and resources for the provision of public services in the new model. In particular, focusing on building shared data systems and ensuring interconnection from the central to the commune level, especially the systems on population, electronic identification and public service portals. The transfer of data and processing of administrative procedures are completely in the digital environment, limiting the interruption of administrative services during the process of government reorganization, creating maximum convenience for people and businesses.

Comrade Do Ngoc Minh, Deputy Chief of the Provincial Party Committee Office, said: To effectively serve the operation of the 2-level local government model, the Provincial Party Committee Office organized online conferences to the communes to train and guide the installation and use of the Operational Information System software in Party agencies. This is the core digital infrastructure to improve the efficiency of staff work, document processing, task assignment, and progress monitoring in a fast, accurate, economical and transparent manner. Communes and wards are also instructed on how to access and log in with the provided accounts; the process of handling outgoing and incoming documents; how to operate and update the database on the system... to help operate anytime, anywhere, safely and securely.

Yen Chau commune was established on the basis of merging Yen Chau town and the communes of Chieng Dong, Chieng Sang, Chieng Pan, Chieng Khoi, Sap Vat, with 57 villages and a population of over 33,000 people. Mr. Doan Xuan Ngoc, Chairman of the Commune People's Committee, shared: To serve the activities of the new commune after the merger, the Commune People's Committee has developed a plan and assigned tasks to departments, offices, and units to build an internal network connected to a specialized data transmission network serving Party and State agencies in the area.
