The Vietnamese government is ramping up its drive for administrative reform, as officials mandate that ministries and state entities publicly present all streamlined administrative processes through the National Database of Administrative Procedures. This initiative aligns with ongoing efforts to boost governance standards, ensure transparency, and facilitate the nation's ambitious economic growth aspirations.
In a directive endorsed by Deputy Prime Minister Pham Thi Thanh Tra, agencies are urged to advance decentralization practices, simplify administrative tasks, and ease business requirements. These reforms are tied to the national development agenda spanning from 2026 to 2030, aimed at fostering a more efficient regulatory landscape.
Recent governmental resolutions have been geared towards alleviating administrative burdens, refining business registration procedures, and discarding redundant conditions for investments and business activities. These initiatives are expected to enhance the business environment, reduce compliance expenditures, and drive economic progress across various sectors.
Key ministries—such as Health, Education, Construction, Industry, Culture, Science, and the State Bank—will be assessing how effectively decentralization policies have been implemented. They are tasked with pinpointing further reform opportunities and suggesting necessary legal changes.
Under this directive, ministries must fulfill legal steps required to decentralize a multitude of administrative services, minimize procedural demands, streamline approval pathways, and eliminate remaining business prerequisites. Officials have been urged to expedite progress in order to align with the government and Communist Party's outlined objectives.
Central to the reform initiative is the integration of administrative procedures into the centralized Administrative Procedure Information System and the National Public Service Portal. This technological shift aims to offer citizens and businesses quicker, more accessible government services through a single online interface.
The Prime Minister has set stringent timelines for agencies to publish revised procedures and ensure alignment with national digital frameworks. Additionally, provincial authorities are instructed to provide updates on resource distribution, any challenges faced during implementation, and their recommendations. The Ministry of Justice will oversee this process, confirming data reliability and presenting a detailed report on progress to the Prime Minister by mid-June 2026.
