Continue to maintain the model of a joint support agency for the Fatherland Front at the district level
The Standing Committee of Quang Ninh Provincial Party Committee has just discussed and evaluated a number of pilot models of organizational apparatus in the Vietnam Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations.
Regarding the model of a joint advisory and support agency for the Vietnam Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations at the district level, after 8 years of implementation, the model has achieved some results. That is, strengthening the political alliance role of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, promoting the combined strength, connecting organizations in the political system; overcoming the state of administrativeization, focusing on the grassroots to solve weak areas and key areas; building and arranging a streamlined but strong enough organizational apparatus, creating a competitive environment for training, education, fostering, and restructuring the team associated with maximizing strengths and creative capacity.
Along with that, mobilizing forces, having more resources, contributing to the good implementation of tasks, especially propaganda and mobilization work; expanding democracy, enhancing the role in representing, protecting the rights, interests, legality and legitimacy of the people, promoting the strength of the people. Awareness of Party committees, authorities, and sectors about the position and role of the Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations...
However, during the implementation process, the model also has shortcomings and limitations. The main reason is that this is a new model, without precedent, so it does not ensure legality, and has not fully standardized the system of documents, regulations, rules, and instructions of competent authorities for implementation. This model does not ensure connectivity and synchronization from the central to the grassroots level. Coordination between the block agencies with the government and functional sectors is sometimes not tight...
The model of a joint advisory and support agency for the Vietnam Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations at the district level is a model that the Central Secretariat has agreed to pilot, so the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee proposes to continue maintaining the model until the end of the 2020-2025 term; organize a preliminary and final assessment of the implementation of this model on the basis of clarifying the criteria for evaluating the implementation results. The Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee requests the Standing Committees of the district, town and city Party Committees to closely coordinate with the Vietnam Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations at the provincial level to carefully review this model, from people, operating mechanisms, to regulations, processes, working relationships, advisory work... to ensure improving the effectiveness and efficiency of advisory and support work of the agency.
District level decides on the model of deputy secretary of the Party Committee concurrently being Chairman of the Fatherland Front Committee at the commune level.
According to the report of the Quang Ninh Provincial Party Committee's Mass Mobilization Commission, the model of Deputy Party Secretary concurrently being Chairman of the Commune-level Fatherland Front Committee is a policy directed by the Provincial Party Committee's Standing Committee to be implemented in conjunction with the unification of the positions of Party Secretary and Commune-level People's Committee Chairman. In recent times, local Party Committees have issued documents to deploy and develop specific plans for staff arrangement and assignment, suitable to the local and grassroots situation. By March 2024, 34/177 Deputy Party Secretaries were also Chairmen of the Commune-level Fatherland Front Committee.
Over the implementation period, this model has the following advantages: Strengthening the control and supervision of the power of the head; facilitating the leadership, direction and general management of tasks under the Fatherland Front at the commune level; strengthening the leadership of the Party Committee at the commune level, actively promoting the role of the Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations at the grassroots level; creating conditions for the Fatherland Front to fully grasp and promptly implement the policies and tasks assigned by the grassroots Party Committee to the Fatherland Front Committee.
However, this is a new model, there are no specific guidelines from the Central Government and it is not implemented synchronously because it is only implemented in places where the Party Secretary is also the Chairman of the People's Committee at the commune level, while the Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee at the grassroots level must concurrently take on many tasks, leading to difficulties in leadership, direction and implementation. On the other hand, when implementing the model of organizing the Fatherland Front at the commune level, there is no full-time person working while the workload is increasing and the quality requirements are getting higher and higher.
Based on the discussion, the Standing Committee of the Quang Ninh Provincial Party Committee said that the evaluation of an innovative model of organizational apparatus in the political system in accordance with the local socio-economic development needs to be evaluated based on all criteria, especially the criteria of a political system that operates effectively and efficiently and ensures the motto of the Party leading, the State managing, and the People being the masters. At the same time, it is also necessary to clearly evaluate the operating mechanism as well as the impact of the model in the implementation process over the past years; the determination and responsibility of the district level to ensure the system operates effectively.
Regarding the model of deputy secretary of the Party Committee concurrently being Chairman of the Fatherland Front Committee at the commune level, depending on the local situation and the current status of the staff, the Standing Committee of the Party Committee at the district level decides to continue maintaining this model, with the highest goal being to bring about the best efficiency, meeting the requirements of the new situation.
