Rapid growth in labour productivity
The Ha Tinh Provincial Party Committee has implemented Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW with determination and a systematic approach, with the aim of making digital transformation and innovation a new driving force for development.
Within a short period, from the provincial level to departments, sectors, and individual communes and wards, all levels had completed the dissemination of the resolution, established steering committees, issued action programmes, and assigned responsibilities in accordance with the principle of “clear responsibilities, clear tasks, and clear deadlines.”
Having identified the development of digital urban governance as a breakthrough priority, Tran Phu ward has successfully established a digital transformation model for small and medium-sized enterprises, helping to increase labour productivity.
A cooperative specialising in the farming of eel without mud is one example. According to Dang Van Cuong, Director of the Thanh Sen Youth Cooperative, thanks to automation at various stages, the time required for eels to reach maturity has been reduced by nearly 50%, from eight months to five months per production cycle. The survival rate has increased by more than 30% and stocking density by 20%, while labour requirements have fallen by at least 30%.
The Tran Phu Ward Party Committee has directed the expansion of this eel-farming model across the ward. A support network has now been established, enabling farmers to assist one another with production and product sales.
According to Nguyen Phi Khanh, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Tran Phu Ward Party Committee, the Standing Committee of the Ward Party Committee has paid attention to investment in information technology infrastructure and the development of e-government, identifying the promotion of comprehensive digital transformation across socio-economic sectors as a priority.
The ward regards digital transformation as an inevitable future trend, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises, as a means of enhancing their competitiveness and labour productivity. To support residents and businesses, Tran Phu ward has organised numerous training courses, transferred technical expertise and technology, and provided vocational guidance, helping many households to increase production and develop their businesses in ways suited to the conditions of a modern urban area.
Nam Hong Linh ward has linked digital transformation with infrastructure development, which has in practice attracted considerable investment from businesses in its industrial clusters. The Nam Hong Industrial Cluster is now fully occupied, while the Cong Khanh 2 Industrial Cluster has reached an occupancy rate of more than 64%. The ward's accelerated expansion of new industrial clusters demonstrates the strong appeal of a locality pursuing digital transformation in tandem with infrastructure development.
Hoang Ba Khang, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Nam Hong Linh Ward Party Committee, said the ward was working towards streamlined administration and smart infrastructure so that every resident could confidently enter the digital space. One of its notable achievements has been the widespread adoption of personal digital signatures (MYSIGN), the integration of VNeID electronic identification and the introduction of direct digital communication channels between the authorities and the public. As a result, urban management, tax payments, business registration, and infrastructure-related feedback can all be handled online.
According to Trinh Quoc, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Nghe Tinh Yarn Joint Stock Company, digital government benefits the business community, particularly innovative start-ups, which are often small in scale, have limited experience, and need support from the state. Nghe Tinh Yarn Joint Stock Company employs 127 people. In 2025, it produced nearly 5,000 tonnes of yarn and recorded revenue of 550 billion VND. The company is also investing approximately 400 billion VND to expand its production capacity to 18,000 tonnes of yarn per year.
Daring to think and act for the benefit of the people
Looking back on nearly two years of implementing Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in the development of science and technology, innovation, and national digital transformation, many people have been struck by the changes taking place in everyday life. Numerous models and movements have had a direct impact on localities, transforming their appearance. The application of information technology and digital transformation in the management, administration, and handling of administrative procedures by state agencies has improved services for residents and businesses.
Digital transformation within Party agencies has been vigorously implemented nationwide. The electronic Party member handbook has become a digital guide supporting Party members in their meetings, studies, and fulfilment of their duties. It also helps them maintain continuous and close connections with Party organisations, without being constrained by geographical distance.
Le Truong Giang, Deputy Head of the Nghe An Provincial Party Committee’s Commission for Organisation, recalled efforts to resolve difficulties and obstacles during the establishment of the Quynh Lap Fisheries Association Party Cell, when he was Secretary of the Hoang Mai Town Party Committee. He said that, under current conditions, the difficulties encountered by the Quynh Lap Fisheries Association Party Cell at that time could have been resolved quickly. Online Party cell meetings have now become commonplace for many Party members.
However, several years ago, because they had to spend long periods offshore fishing, members of the Quynh Lap Fisheries Association Party Cell held their meetings via radio while their fishing boats were anchored close to one another at sea. At the time, this was a highly unusual arrangement, and only officials who dared to think, act, and take responsibility would have dared to approve the establishment of the Party cell.
For many years, the Quynh Lap Fisheries Association Party Cell has led and directed its members and workers in numerous cooperatives to venture offshore, develop their livelihoods, and contribute to safeguarding the country's sovereignty over its seas and islands.
In Nghe An Province, Hung Chau Commune was formed through the merger of four purely agricultural communes. In the past, many hamlets were located in remote and isolated areas and were regarded as backward. Thanks to digital transformation, however, residents have learned to use social media platforms to sell local products and have become proficient in making bank transfers for payments. More recently, they have continued to benefit from an initiative to establish “digital transformation corners” in their hamlets.
Dau Van Dung, Secretary of the Thap Ngoc Hamlet Party Cell, said the commune had mobilised socialised resources to equip twenty hamlets with twenty sets of computers and printers for the implementation of the “Digital Transformation Corner” model. Residents have shown great confidence in and support for the initiative, with many individuals making material contributions and volunteering to operate the facilities and guide people in using computers and carrying out administrative procedures at these corners.
Ngo Thanh Cong, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Hung Chau Commune Party Committee, said digital transformation corners in hamlets and villages serve as a bridge connecting residents with the commune's Public Administration Service Centre. This means that residents can now complete a wide range of administrative procedures right in their own hamlets.
The volunteers have truly become an extension of the commune's officials and civil servants. However, this would not be possible without digital transformation at grassroots level. From now on, community digital technology teams in villages, hamlets, and residential quarters will have additional collaborators. They will serve as an extended arm, helping embed digital skills deeply in people's daily lives.
Thanks to these collaborators, installing VNeID, creating accounts for the National Public Service Portal, and making cashless online payments have all become more convenient and widespread. It is evident that digital transformation at grassroots level requires officials, Party members, and residents alike to dare to think and act, and to remain dedicated to serving the people.
