The arrangement of cadres at the commune and ward levels in many places is lacking, many cadres do not have professional capacity; digital infrastructure in communes is still weak and lacking in synchronization; the implementation of policies for commune-level cadres who retire due to the restructuring of the apparatus still has limitations and shortcomings.
