Innovate staff management in the direction of data governance, work quantification, and measurement of implementation efficiency; flexibly allocate staff, not equitably, in accordance with population size, area, level of development, locality nature and workload.

Implementing salary reform closely linked to the roadmap of streamlining the apparatus, streamlining staff and operating the overall organizational model of the political system, the 2-level local government model.

Completing the capacity framework, title and job position standards; arranging the right people, the right jobs, and the right strengths. Innovating cadre evaluation work with specific products, output results, work processing progress and people's trust; strictly implementing the principle of "there is input, there is output, there is upwards, there is downwards".

Build a breakthrough mechanism to detect, attract, and value people with outstanding abilities; treat experts and civil servants with in-depth professional qualifications in sync with the system of titles and job positions, creating motivation for officials to contribute long-term and develop associated with expertise.

Institutionalize mechanisms to encourage and protect cadres who dare to think, dare to do, dare to take responsibility for the common good; clearly distinguish errors caused by experiments and innovations from violations caused by personal motives and self-interest.

At the same time, resolutely rectify the disease of fear of responsibility, avoidance, dependence, shirking, and working in moderation; promptly replace cadres with limited capacity, reduced prestige, and failure to meet requirements.

Identifying the implementation capacity of commune-level officials as an important measure to verify the success of the new model. Strengthen training, fostering, rotation, and arranging capable and specialized officials to the grassroots level, especially in the fields of land, planning, investment, finance, justice, technology, and digital transformation.

Have preferential policies on salaries, allowances, housing, working conditions and appropriate preferential treatment regimes so that commune-level cadres and civil servants can feel secure in their work, promote their capacity, and stick with them for a long time.

Completing the overall organizational model of the political system and the operating mechanism of the 2-level local government.

Continue to improve the organizational structure from the Central level to the commune level in the direction of streamlining, clarifying functions, clarifying authority, clarifying responsibilities, not overlapping, not omitting tasks. For inter-sectoral, interchangeable fields, it is necessary to implement the principle: one task has one presiding agency, one focal point responsible, one common data source, one inter-connected coordination process and a clear inspection and supervision mechanism.

Clearly define the role, functions, tasks, authority and management methods of each level of government. The Central Government focuses on strategic planning, building institutions, national planning, strategic infrastructure, digital platforms and inspection and supervision. The provincial level plays a central role in governance, organizing development space, regional linkage, resource allocation and implementation coordination.

The commune level is the leading line of public administration, deploying the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's policies and laws to the people, promptly handling problems arising from the grassroots level, directly serving the people and businesses.

Continue to review, arrange, and streamline the network of public non-business units, especially in education, health, culture and basic public services, linking staff streamlining with restructuring and improving the quality of public employees.
