To make the 2-level local government a "center for creating development", the city focuses on 5 groups of tasks:
Review and classify commune-level administrative units according to their specific characteristics such as urban core areas, rapid urbanization areas, suburban areas, green rural areas to decide on appropriate professional apparatus. Research and build key commune-level administrative units, especially to lead and spread.
Hanoi continues to decentralize and authorize synchronously with the allocation of resources based on the implementation capacity of communes.
The city also reviews and arranges internal focal points, ensuring no intermediaries and researching the transfer of some public services to businesses and social organizations for implementation.
Improve the capacity of the contingent of cadres, especially at the grassroots level; encourage and have mechanisms to protect dynamic and creative cadres, but also resolutely handle cases of delays and evasion of responsibility causing trouble for people and businesses.
Regarding the completion of the data platform, the city coordinates with the Central Government to complete the common data; striving to complete the data bases under the city's authority in 2026 according to the Government's architecture.
