The current staff arrangement is being implemented based on the guidelines of the Steering Committee for arranging administrative units at all levels and building a 2-level local government organization model of the Government in Official Dispatch No. 03/CV-BCĐ, Official Dispatch No. 09/CV-BCĐ, along with the implementation of Conclusion No. 163 KL/TW130, Conclusion No. 174-KL/TW of the Politburo and the Secretariat.
Accordingly, the Standing Committees of provincial and city Party committees have proactively decided and arranged staff to work in agencies under the government, Party and mass organizations in localities, including the staff of local commune-level governments, in the total staff in 2025 assigned by the Central Organization Committee.
Based on the proposed staffing needs of ministries, branches and localities, the Ministry of Home Affairs coordinates with the Central Organization Committee to develop a draft report proposing staffing for the 2026-2031 period of ministries, branches and localities to report to the Politburo for consideration and decision.
It is expected that the plan will determine the payroll needs for the period 2026-2031 at commune-level administrative units based on arranging civil servants according to the job structure at agencies and organizations at the commune level (adjusted according to criteria on population, specific factors such as mountainous and highland areas).
After the 2026-2031 payroll is approved by competent authorities, the locality will continue to base on the criteria: Job position and workload of each job position; level of modernization of equipment, working facilities and application of information technology; actual use of assigned civil servant payroll; population size, natural area, number of commune-level administrative units and characteristics of political security, order, and social safety to proactively arrange and assign payroll appropriately, ensuring not to increase the number of civil servant payroll assigned by competent authorities in the 2026-2031 period.

The arrangement needs to be flexible, suitable to reality, not mechanical, not exceeding the framework.
