The report signed by Mr. Dao Trung Chinh - Director of the Department of Land Management - stated that from August 26, 2025 to September 5, 2025, the Department's civil servants participated with the working delegation of the Departments of Agriculture and Environment to work directly in 101 communes and wards under 24/34 provinces and cities.

According to the Department of Land Management, civil servants sent to work in the locality have reviewed and compiled 243 recommendations and problems of the locality in the land sector, specifically as follows:
- Content on planning, land allocation, land lease, and land use conversion: 47 recommendations;
- Content on land measurement and registration: 88 recommendations;
- Content on control of land management, use, handling of land violations: 11 recommendations;
- Content on land prices, compensation, support, and resettlement: 40 recommendations;
- Content on land statistics and inventories; land database: 12 recommendations;
- Content on administrative procedures and land users' rights: 45 recommendations.
"Compared to the first week, the number of recommendations has decreased to only about 1/3. The above recommendations and problems have been answered and guided directly by civil servants at training conferences and direct working sessions in communes and wards; some general recommendations and problems have been sent to the Department of Land Management and have been urgently directed by specialized units to coordinate in handling and guiding civil servants to answer and handle during their work in the locality" - the report stated.
During this time, the Department of Land Management has also pointed out a number of problems, including the coordination in handling land-related records between the Branch of the Land Registration Office, Tax authorities, and Ward People's Committees (Ward Economic, Infrastructure and Urban Affairs Department) that still have many shortcomings in coordination on the electronic records system:
The Tax Authority requires all records to be transferred to the tax authority to determine financial obligations on land that must be transferred electronically; the provision of missing information from the Land Registration Office; the use of VBDLIS software... leading to pending records that have not been completely processed.
Using software when handling documents: the processing of documents must work on many software (National Public Administration Service Portal, VBDLIS, Eoffice) but has not been instructed and trained to use the software, has not been fully delegated to the specialist to directly handle the work, leading to confusion in the usage operation, so the Certificate and financial obligations information have not been printed or transferred.
Regarding personnel work: The wards currently lack personnel to perform tasks, especially in the land sector, each ward is currently arranging only 1-2 civil servants of the Department of Economics, Infrastructure and Urban Areas to perform this task.
Because the land database is not complete and synchronous, performing the current tasks assigned to the commune level is very difficult. Propose to have additional personnel policies for wards, especially personnel in land management in the locality.
