On January 8, Dak Lak Provincial People's Committee announced that it had issued a ranking to assess the quality of administrative procedure resolution under the "one-stop shop, inter-agency one-stop shop" mechanism for departments, agencies, and branches in the province in 2025.
The ranking includes 14 units. The leading units are: Office of the Provincial People's Committee (96 points), Department of Home Affairs (95.35 points) and Department of Justice (95.31 points). Department of Finance ranks last in the ranking with 87.71 points.
This ranking is of great significance in improving the quality of service to people and businesses; creating motivation for administrative reform, increasing publicity and transparency, and is one of the bases for commending or disciplining cadres and civil servants.
The evaluation criteria focus on factors such as dossier digitization, level of online public service provision, progress of dossier resolution, implementation results and level of people's satisfaction.
Previously, in the 2025 index set for people and businesses of the Provincial People's Committee, the Department of Finance also ranked last (out of a total of 14 units) with 87.03 points.
On the same day, the Department of Home Affairs of Dak Lak province said that it had sent a document to the Provincial People's Committee on the appraisal, evaluation and classification of quality for agencies, collectives and individuals leading and managing under the Provincial People's Committee in 2025.
According to self-assessment results, the collective of the Department of Finance was ranked as "completing tasks well"; the proposal of the Department of Home Affairs for this unit was also at a similar level.
Director of the Department of Finance Tran Van Tan and the entire Board of Directors including 9 people (1 director, 8 deputy directors) all admitted and were proposed to be ranked as "completing tasks well" in 2025.
In 2025, the Department of Finance plays a core role in advising on disbursement of public investment capital and national target programs.
However, the province's disbursement progress did not meet the plan: as of December 28, 2025, disbursement of the plan extended from 2024 only reached 54.4%, while the disbursement plan for 2025 reached 49%.
The progress of advising on some large projects is still slow, affecting the investment environment and local competitiveness. In December 2025, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee criticized the Director of the Department of Finance for being slow in advising and reporting.
Sources said that after receiving the submission from the Department of Home Affairs, the leaders of the Provincial People's Committee will meet, consider and appraise before issuing an official assessment.
