According to the direction of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, the scoring results will be used to encourage and reward those who do well, and at the same time criticize and handle those who do not do well.
This is a signal showing the determination to improve institutional quality by modern management methods, based on data and clear responsibilities. Especially in the context that Vietnam is striving to achieve the goal of "institutional breakthrough".
A clear, stable and feasible legal system is an important condition to promote socio-economic development, create a favorable environment for businesses and ensure the rights of the people.
However, reality also shows that there are still limitations. There are many cases where laws have been issued but guiding documents are issued slowly or not synchronized, making it difficult for policies to go into life. There are also regulations that must be amended and supplemented in a short time after being issued because they are not close to reality.
These issues raise the requirement to improve the quality and responsibility in law-making work, in which the application of KPI is a new approach.
When ministries and sectors are evaluated based on specific criteria such as progress, quality, ability to detect and handle problems, institutional initiatives or the actual impact of policies, the work that was inherently deeply professional and difficult to measure before will become more transparent.
More importantly, KPI helps shift law-making from qualitative assessment to data governance.
When there is periodic scoring, agencies can clearly see their position in the overall picture.
Good places will be recognized, slow places will have to review the process and implementation organization.
This creates positive pressure, promotes a sense of responsibility and improves work efficiency.
At the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Government to give opinions on the draft Project on piloting the evaluation and scoring (KPI) of law-making work on March 10, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh directed the pilot implementation of evaluation and scoring in 2 years with the spirit of both doing and learning from experience, gradually expanding...
Allowing pilot time is very necessary for the Government to improve the method and evaluation criteria.
However, the message from this policy of the Government is quite clear: from now on, law-making work must not only stop at completing the process, but must also be measured by effectiveness and specific responsibility.
When each legal document becomes a "product" evaluated by clear criteria, the quality of law-making will have more motivation to be improved, contributing to creating a solid foundation for the country's development.
