Proposing specific and practical solutions to accelerate disbursement of public investment capital

In 2024, the State budget investment plan assigned by the Prime Minister to Dien Bien province is over 4,070 billion VND, with detailed allocation reaching 99.8%. The disbursement rate up to May 30 reached 17.7%, lower than the same period last year; some capital sources have not been disbursed, such as: ODA capital, capital for the socio -economic recovery and development program. The accumulated disbursement of capital extended from 2023 to 2024 reached 17.2%. The whole province has 11/40 investment units that have not yet disbursed.

The cause was determined to be that the leadership and direction of implementation in some departments, branches and localities were still lacking in determination and closeness; lack of determination, the role of the leader was not fully promoted; the coordination between departments, branches and localities in resolving arising problems was still limited, not regular, close and effective. The planning work of the investor units was still weak; the capacity of some investor units was still limited, leading to slow completion of documents, the quality of project documents and the quality of consulting units did not meet the requirements...

Speaking at the direction, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Tran Quoc Cuong requested the Party Committee of the Provincial People's Committee to lead the Provincial People's Committee to urgently assign and decentralize tasks to the district level to speed up the disbursement of public investment capital. Party committees, authorities at all levels, investors, and project management boards focus on proposing effective solutions to implement the public investment plan in the last months of 2024; strive to disburse public investment capital to reach over 95% of the assigned capital plan. The Party Committee of the Provincial People's Committee leads the Provincial People's Committee to find out the causes of limitations in each locality and unit, to have solutions to overcome them. At the same time, review the work of cadres, especially in terms of capacity, qualifications, and sense of responsibility to review and promptly handle cases of weakness, negativity, and failure to complete assigned tasks; perfect the cadre team, arrange appropriate work, create a streamlined but highly competent and responsible apparatus.

Comrade Tran Quoc Cuong, member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, gave a speech directing the conference.

The Provincial Party Secretary requested local Party committees, authorities, departments and branches to strengthen their leadership and direction responsibilities; propose detailed, specific and practical solutions, ensuring the disbursement rate according to regulations. Select key tasks to be implemented from now until the end of the year, especially for undisbursed capital sources such as ODA capital, capital for socio-economic recovery and development programs.

Emphasizing that the tasks for the remaining time of 2024 are very large, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Thanh Do requested directors of departments, branches, chairmen of People's Committees of districts, towns, cities, directors of project management boards in the province, and investors to further promote their sense of responsibility, promote the role of leaders in leadership, direction, urging, and inspection. Urgently review and immediately handle difficulties, obstacles, and bottlenecks in disbursement of public investment capital at their agencies and units. Promoting disbursement of public investment capital must go hand in hand with state management of investment, ensuring requirements on progress and quality of works.

Departments and branches shorten the time to carry out investment procedures as much as possible.
