RESOLUTION

Of the sixth plenum of the 12th CPV Central Committee on a number of

issues regarding the continued reform and streamlining of the organizational structure of the political system in a streamlined, effective, and efficient manner

 

I- CONTEXT AND CAUSES

1- Context

In recent years, the Communist Party of Vietnam has promulgated, led, and directed the implementation of numerous policies, resolutions, and conclusions on the construction of the organizational structure of the political system, achieving significant results. The organizational system of the Party, State, Fatherland Front, and socio-political organizations has been renewed; the functions, tasks, and relationships between organizations have been redefined and adjusted more reasonably, gradually meeting the requirements of building and perfecting the socialist rule-of-law state and developing the socialist-oriented market economy. The political system is basically stable, in line with the Party's Platform and the Constitution; ensuring the Party's leadership, the State's management, and the people's mastery, contributing significantly to the great achievements of historical significance in the cause of renovation, construction, and defense of the Fatherland.

However, the organizational structure of the political system remains cumbersome, with many layers and focal points; the effectiveness and efficiency of its operation have not yet met the requirements and tasks. The functions, tasks, powers, organizational structure, and relationships between some agencies and organizations are not yet clear, overlapping, and duplicated, etc. The assignment, decentralization, and delegation of powers between sectors, levels, and within each agency and organization are not yet reasonable, strong, and synchronized; there is still a situation of taking over, doing instead, or omitting tasks. The consolidation of the organizational structure of the political system in association with streamlining the apparatus, restructuring the team of cadres, civil servants, and public employees has achieved low results; the proportion of serving people is high, especially in the office settings; there are numerous deputy-level leaders; and the appointment of “equivalent rank” positions in some central agencies is not reasonable. The mechanisms for controlling power are not sufficiently effective; the publicity, transparency, and accountability remain limited. The administrative reform, especially the reform of administrative procedures, has been slow, non-synchronized, and has not met the requirements. Although significant investment has been made in the infrastructure of information technology for management, the impact on streamlining the organizational structure, improving the effectiveness and efficiency of operation, and streamlining the apparatus has not been commensurate. The number of people receiving salaries and allowances from the state budget is very large, especially in public non-business units, non-specialized activists at the commune level, and in villages and hamlets; the salary policy is still inadequate.

The functions, tasks, powers, responsibilities, and working relationships between the provincial and district Party committees have not been fully specified; there is a lack of framework regulations on the working regime of Party committees at all levels. The quantity, structure, and quality of members of Party committees, standing members of Party committees at all levels still have some limitations. The leadership capacity and combativeness of many Party committees and organizations are still weak, especially in some grassroots and state-owned enterprises, public non-business units; the management of Party members in many places is not strict; the work of building Party organizations and developing Party members in some areas and in non-state enterprises and units is still difficult. Many heads of villages or residential quarters are not Party members. The organization and operation of some steering committees and committees for protection and health care of cadres still have some limitations.

The management and executive capacity, and effectiveness of some state agencies, both at the central and local levels, are still limited. The coordination between levels, sectors, and localities is sometimes not close. The specific characteristics of urban, rural, and island administrations have not been clearly defined. Local administrative units are generally small in scale, and many units do not meet the prescribed standards, especially at the district and commune levels. The number and structure of elected representatives are not yet suitable, and their quality is still limited. The establishment of provincial-level National Assembly delegations’ offices has given rise to some limitations in personnel work and cadre management. Many inter-sectoral coordination organizations and project management boards have overlapping functions and tasks, and their effectiveness is not high.

The organizational structure and operation of the Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations have been slow to reform, and some tasks are still duplicated, with a situation of "administrativization" and "servantization". The structure of cadres, civil servants, and public employees between levels and within each agency is not yet reasonable; the capacity and qualifications of specialized cadres at the grassroots level are still limited. The content and method of operation are sometimes not practical, effective, and lack a deep understanding of the grassroots. The mechanism for allocating state budgets to the Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations is still inadequate; some regulations on organization, operation, and financial management of trade unions are not yet suitable. Mass organizations have been established at all levels, but their material facilities and operating funds are still mainly based on the state budget.

2 - Causes of limitations and inadequacies

The overall model for the organizational structure of the political system has not been perfected, with certain components and sectors not aligning with the requirements and tasks of the new era. The awareness and sense of responsibility of some Party committees and organizations have not been comprehensive and thorough regarding the importance, urgency, and requirements for renovating and consolidating the organizational structure of the political system, particularly with regards to the limitations and weaknesses directly impacting the Party's leadership, prestige, and the people's trust.

The leadership, direction, and implementation of the Party's policies, resolutions, and conclusions, as well as the State's regulations on the arrangement and consolidation of the organizational structure and streamlining of the apparatus, have lacked determination and synchrony. There remains a tendency toward compliance, avoidance of accountability, fear of confrontation, and pursuit of parochial interests. The mindset of subsidization, reliance, and expectation on the State remains fairly widespread. Some Party committees, authorities, and leaders at various levels have not demonstrated high determination, great effort, and decisive action.

The management of the organizational structure and apparatus has not been stringent or unified. Multiple specialized legal documents still prescribe the organizational structure and apparatus; some legal documents on organization still contain inappropriate contents.

The mechanisms and policies for encouraging the arrangement and streamlining of the organizational structure and apparatus have not been suitable or robust. The allocation of regular funding based on the apparatus has not been tied to the results and effectiveness of the organizations, agencies, and units, which is one of the causes of the increase in the apparatus.

Inspection, examination, and supervision have not been conducted regularly, with a lack of severe handling of collectives and individuals, particularly leaders, who have not completed their tasks in arranging the organizational structure, streamlining the apparatus, and reducing the payroll. There has been no suitable mechanism for evaluating and replacing cadres, civil servants, and public employees who do not meet the requirements and tasks.

The work of summarizing practical experiences and scientific research on the organizational structure of the political system has not been prioritized or conducted in a fundamental, systematic, and practical manner. The work of preliminary and final review, drawing lessons learned, and rewarding has not been timely.
