At the same time, it expands development space, promotes resources, potentials, and advantages of localities, promotes development, and improves people's lives.

Decrease by 3 units

According to the Provincial People's Committee, after the National Assembly Standing Committee issued Resolution No. 820 on the arrangement of commune-level administrative units in Binh Thuan province, the Provincial People's Committee directed the People's Committees of Tuy Phong, Tanh Linh and Duc Linh districts to prepare conditions for the announcement of Resolution No. 820 of the National Assembly Standing Committee. At the same time, proactively carry out the consolidation and arrangement of organizations in the political system in communes and towns; quickly put new administrative units into official operation when the Resolution of the National Assembly Standing Committee takes effect from January 1, 2020.

Provincial leaders and departments, branches and sectors attended the national online conference to deploy the implementation of administrative unit arrangement at district and commune levels for the period 2023 - 2030.

Before the reorganization, the whole province had 127 commune-level administrative units, including 96 communes, 19 wards and 12 towns. After the reorganization of commune-level administrative units according to Resolution No. 820, the whole province had 124 commune-level administrative units, including 93 communes, 19 wards and 12 towns; a reduction of 3 units. Localities implemented the consolidation and consolidation of organizations in the political system according to regulations and instructions from higher levels, so the corresponding number was reduced but still ensured personnel to well implement assigned political tasks. Regarding the team of cadres, civil servants and workers (CB, CC, NLĐ), they agreed with the policy of reorganizing administrative units, thereby streamlining the apparatus, reducing staff, and improving the quality of operations. Localities arrange civil servants, public employees, and part-time workers to ensure the leadership of Party committees and proper implementation of regulations on democracy in the operations of state administrative agencies.

After the reorganization, there was a surplus of civil servants, public employees, and workers. Therefore, in order to motivate and encourage redundant workers to stabilize their lives, in addition to the regimes and policies prescribed by the Central Government, the Provincial People's Council consulted with relevant ministries to issue a policy to support the termination of employment of redundant civil servants, public employees, and non-professional workers, creating high consensus and unity.

Streamlined but harmonious benefits
