The MOHA needs to continue inspecting and accelerating the implementation of the master programme on state administration reform, while urgently advising the Government in reviewing the master programme between 2011-2020 and proposing tasks for state administration reform in the coming period, Deputy PM Binh said.

He asked the ministry to focus on building and completing the project on the Government structure in the 2021-2026 tenure, with great attention being paid to reviewing and adjusting the functions and tasks of ministries and agencies in order to ensure consistency, smoothness and effective coordination and address overlaps and duplication.

In addition, the MOHA should continue to build and perfect institutions on cadre work to ensure synchronicity with the Party’s regulations and State laws, focusing on improving the quality of cadres and civil servants, the Deputy PM requested.
