According to the assessment of the People's Committee of Vinh Linh district, in general, the management, operation and implementation of the public investment plan in the period of 2021 - 2023 of the district basically ensures the provisions of the Law on Public Investment, the Law on Budget, the Law on Construction, the Law on Land... and the Government's decrees as well as compliance with the plan to generate revenue for the district budget from the land auction fund. The district has strengthened the planning and auction of land use rights, creating a large source of revenue for the district budget, investing in many works and projects.

Most of the projects are implemented in accordance with principles, processes and procedures, and are closely monitored by the people for quality. The infrastructure of 15 communes and 3 towns in the area has been invested in and upgraded to become increasingly complete.

Since then, the district has promoted the goal of socio-economic development. Up to now, Vinh Linh has 14/15 communes meeting new rural standards (NTM); 4/15 communes meeting advanced NTM standards; the district basically meets 9/9 NTM criteria.

However, Vinh Linh district identified that there are still some limitations in the medium-term public investment for the 3 years 2021 - 2023. First of all, the development of the medium-term public investment plan for the period 2021 - 2025 was implemented in the first year of the plan, so it did not cover all the actual needs arising in the locality during the whole period.

Many projects have had to adjust their total investment due to price fluctuations; and scale has been added to comply with design standards and regulations. In addition, coordination between investors and specialized departments and local authorities in resolving problems related to planning, land use plans, site clearance, land auctions, and project appraisal in some places is still inconsistent and not tight enough...

Based on the results of the implementation of the medium-term public investment plan from 2021 - 2023, the actual situation and forecast of capital sources and investment needs in the coming years, Vinh Linh District People's Committee has reviewed revenue sources in 2023 and 2024 - 2025 to ensure balance for the period 2021 - 2025. Specifically, regarding the adjustment of the capital plan for 2024 - 2025: the total capital need is over 496.3 billion VND.

For the official public investment part: projects managed by the district level are expected to cost nearly 221.4 billion VND; reinvestment for communes and towns that exploit land funds is expected to cost nearly 144 billion VND; projects for surveying, planning, and land use planning are expected to cost over 38.8 billion VND. For the public investment part, we strive to increase by over 92.1 billion VND from revenue from auctions and bidding for land plots for investors to use.

Accordingly, in the two years 2024 - 2025, Vinh Linh district determined to focus on the following key solutions: seriously implementing the provisions of the Law on Public Investment, accelerating investment preparation, assigning capital plans, implementing and disbursing public investment capital associated with the responsibilities and accountability of organizations and individuals, especially heads of specialized departments and local authorities. Strengthening the removal of difficulties and obstacles; synchronous coordination between district-level departments, local authorities and provincial departments, branches and sectors.

Mobilize the strength of the political system to effectively carry out site clearance work, creating conditions for implementing investment projects on schedule. Improve efficiency and ensure completion of revenue estimates from auctions of land use rights, and bidding for land plots for investors to use.

In particular, review land auction infrastructure projects in 2023 and the 2024-2025 period to balance revenue sources according to actual starting prices.

In addition, continue to call for and attract other capital sources to allocate for projects, reducing the burden of public investment capital managed by the district budget.

Strengthen leadership and direction; decentralize, delegate authority, assign tasks, and assign tasks along with coordination, supervision, inspection, and evaluation; focus on timely and strict rewards and discipline in implementing public investment plans. Save, prevent loss and waste in public investment.

The implementation process needs to closely monitor, promptly adjust, and eliminate ineffective or unnecessary projects, prioritizing capital for urgent, key projects that have the nature of connection, spillover, and promoting the socio-economic development of the district.

Strictly control the scope, scale, and total investment of each project in accordance with the objectives, fields, and regulations of the law... From there, Vinh Linh district is determined to strive to complete the medium-term public investment for the period 2021 - 2025 as planned.
