At the request of the Prime Minister, in the period of 2022-2025, ministries and ministerial-level agencies must amend and supplement to promulgate and submit to competent authorities for promulgation 232 legal documents decentralizing 699 administrative procedures (AP); ministries, agencies and localities must identify a list of internal APs under their management, announce, publicize and review to reduce and simplify at least 20% of APs and reduce at least 20% of compliance costs of internal APs.
Implementing the Prime Minister's direction, in recent times, ministries, agencies and localities have made great efforts and achieved some specific results. Regarding the decentralization of administrative procedures according to Decision No. 1015/QD-TTg, 13/21 ministries and ministerial-level agencies have issued and advised competent authorities to issue 34 legal documents to implement the decentralization plan of 139 administrative procedures, however, only 20% of administrative procedures have been approved for decentralization.
Regarding the review and simplification of internal administrative procedures according to Decision No. 1085/QD-TTg, 21/22 ministries, ministerial-level agencies, and 61/63 localities have announced a list of 4,028 internal administrative procedures implemented between state administrative agencies and within each ministry and locality; 05 localities have reviewed a total of 117 internal administrative procedures, of which 32 internal administrative procedures have been reduced and simplified.
The above results are still modest and do not meet the requirements of the Prime Minister. There are still 08 ministries and agencies that have not implemented decentralization, in which many decentralization plans under the authority of the Minister have not been proactively implemented by the ministries; some decentralization plans have exceeded the deadline but have not been completed.
Some ministries, agencies and localities have not fully understood the importance of internal administrative procedures; leading to incorrect identification and lack of announcement of internal administrative procedures under their management. Many ministries, agencies and localities have not been proactive in reviewing and proposing solutions to simplify internal administrative procedures. The progress of reviewing priority groups of internal administrative procedures is still slow compared to requirements (except for the Ministry of Transport), the review results have not ensured quality, and have not met the set goals and requirements.
According to the assessment of some National Assembly deputies at the 6th Session of the 15th National Assembly, internal administrative procedures in some areas are still not suitable, are barriers, and are the cause of low efficiency of state administrative agencies, increasing time and social costs, reducing management effectiveness, in which some problems are slow to be resolved.
