Strengthening management of extra-budgetary capital projects

In the context of increasingly strong socio-economic development but also facing many challenges, the management and effective use of land resources is always a key task of authorities at all levels. In particular, the supervision, inspection and handling of non-budgetary capital projects (DA) using land are being paid attention to in order to ensure transparency, timeliness in implementation and limit violations leading to budget loss as well as waste of resources.

On March 25, 2025, the People's Council of Long An province, term X, held the 23rd Session (Special Session). At this session, the Resolution (NQ) on the results of monitoring slow-to-implement non-budgetary capital projects using land was passed, demonstrating the province's determination to rectify investment management.

Project status of slow implementation

According to the monitoring report of the Economic - Budget Committee of the Provincial People's Council (at the time of monitoring the last 6 months of 2024), in the whole province, there are 151 projects with non-budget capital (period 2021-2023) with investment policies of provincial authorities violating the law on land and investment. Most of the violations are due to implementation and failure to follow the schedule (89 projects), failure to implement and implement (37 projects), failure to implement in accordance with the approved investment policy (18 projects), failure to put land into use, delay in putting land into use, and use of land for the wrong purpose.

These violations not only reduce the efficiency of land use, causing loss of state budget revenue, but also affect the investment environment , create unevenness in socio-economic development in some areas of the province, negatively affecting the general development planning of the locality.

Enhanced management solution

Based on the above situation, the Provincial People's Council issued a Resolution on the results of monitoring slow-to-implement non-budget capital projects using land, requesting the Provincial People's Committee to focus on the following solutions:

1. Inspect and evaluate compliance with the law, fully analyze subjective and objective causes, and accurately reflect the reality of each project to have measures to support, facilitate, and encourage investors to accelerate the implementation of projects that meet the prescribed conditions, promptly put projects into operation, and create momentum for socio-economic development in 2025 and the following years; at the same time, strictly and decisively handle violations according to the law, prevent land waste, prevent state budget loss, create equal investment opportunities for businesses, and increase the health of the province's investment and business environment.

2. Ensure and create favorable conditions for people to live and produce in areas where projects have not been implemented and create harmony of interests between people and businesses in the process of resolving and handling the above projects.

3. Publicly and transparently disclose information on projects that are behind schedule, slow to implement, or violate laws on investment, land, construction, etc.; projects that violate the law are subject to enforcement, revocation, or termination of project operations in accordance with the law to create consensus and supervision among people and businesses during the implementation process.

4. Handle the responsibilities of organizations and individuals related to the subjective causes of state management agencies that slow down the progress of implementing the above-mentioned non-budgetary investment projects.

5. Continue to review, inspect and examine non-budgetary capital projects that use other land, especially projects that are about to be put into operation (according to investment policies) or that are about to complete the filling period (according to land use plans), to have measures to urge and accelerate investment progress and promptly and strictly handle non-budgetary capital projects that use land in violation of legal regulations.

The Resolution on the results of monitoring slow-moving non-budgetary capital projects using land of the Provincial People's Council is an important step forward, demonstrating the province's determination in monitoring, managing and developing investment. The Resolution not only highlights the achievements but also points out the limitations that need to be overcome. The issuance of the Resolution creates a solid legal foundation for support measures, handling violations and accelerating investment progress. With close coordination between functional agencies and transparency in information disclosure, the province hopes to create a healthy investment environment, contributing to the sustainable socio-economic development of the province in the coming time./.
