The Prime Minister has just issued Decision No. 759/QD-TTg approving the Project to rearrange and reorganize administrative units at all levels and build a model of organizing local government at 2 levels, which clearly states the staffing of cadres, civil servants and public employees (CBCCVC) at the commune level.
The Government assigned the Ministry of Home Affairs to coordinate with the Central Organizing Committee and relevant agencies based on the population size, natural area, functions, tasks, and time limits of local authorities at the commune level as a basis for developing and completing job positions to submit to competent authorities to assign the staffing of civil servants and public employees at the commune level to localities.
Notably, based on the population size, natural area, and socio-economic development level of commune-level administrative units, the Government aims to assign the total number of local government positions at the commune level to localities (expected to average about 32 positions/01 at the commune level).
On that basis, the local government at the provincial level is assigned to decide on the number of staff for each commune-level administrative unit in the area to suit practical requirements.
