Expected number of commune-level cadres and civil servants in Hanoi after the reorganization
Hanoi - The city plans to limit the number of commune-level positions to no more than 40 cadres and civil servants after implementing the arrangement of administrative units.
Hanoi plans to reduce from 526 communes and wards to 126 communes and wards after implementing the arrangement of commune-level administrative units.
Based on the Central Government's orientation, Hanoi will propose a model of organizing local government at the provincial level to remain the same as at present and according to the provisions of the Capital Law 2024.
For grassroots local government organizations, Hanoi proposes that grassroots People's Councils have a Chairman of the People's Council ( part-time) and a Vice Chairman of the People's Council ( full-time). The People's Council at the grassroots level has 2 committees: the Legal Committee and the Socio-Economic Committee, each of which has a department head ( part-time), 1 deputy department head (professional).
Regarding the agency of the People's Committee at the grassroots level, Hanoi proposed to have a Chairman of the People's Committee (specialist) and 2 Vice Chairmen of the People's Committee (of which 1 Vice Chairman concurrently holds the position of Chief of the Office of the People's Council and People's Committee and 1 Vice Chairman concurrently holds the position of Director of the Public Administration Service Center).
The agency of the People's Committee at the grassroots level has 4 specialized departments including the People's Council and People's Committee Office; Economic Department (for communes), Economic, Infrastructure and Urban Affairs Department (for wards); Department of Culture - Social Affairs; Public Administration Service Center.
Hanoi is piloting the model of a centralized Public Administration Service Center, so the city will propose the Central Government to consider organizing an additional specialized department under the new grassroots People's Committee.
Regarding staffing, Hanoi plans to limit the number of commune-level staff to no more than 40 cadres and civil servants, focusing on civil servants directly in charge of the fields of Party building work, work of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations, and government work.
In addition to the staffing quota assigned by the Central Government to grassroots administrative units, the city will propose that the Central Government allow the arrangement of an additional coefficient k (from 1.5 to 2 times) calculated according to the population size and socio-economic characteristics of Hanoi.
The organization and operation of the Military Command in the new commune-level administrative unit after the reorganization will be implemented according to the instructions of the Ministry of National Defense.

Districts, towns and cities will organize to collect public opinions (according to the instructions of the City People's Committee) before April 22.
