Da Nang pushes ahead with e-Government building
Da Nang (VNA) – The People’s
Committee of the central city of Da Nang is pushing ahead with efforts to implement key
tasks and solutions in building an e-government.
One of the central tasks is to
build and implement a plan to carry out Resolution 43-NQ/TW of the Politburo on
development of Da Nang to 2030 with a vision to 2045.
Under the plan, the city defines
five spearhead sectors, one of which is to develop information technology,
electronics and telecommunications in combination as part of the digital
economy. The plan also sets the goal of turning Da Nang into an ecological,
modern and smart city. By 2030, the city is to complete the building of a smart
city connected with the networks of smart cities in the country and in the
Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region.
In particular, the city will upgrade
the local e-government architecture framework to be compatible with the Vietnam
e-government architecture framework (version 2.0) after the Ministry of
Information and Communication approves and promulgates the framework.
Accordingly, the city will build
a synchronous telecom infrastructure system along with regional and
inter-regional core networks, and expand the 5G mobile service to cover the
entire city and broadband connection to enterprises and households.
Other goals include upgrading the
e-Government platform; completing the Local Government Service Platform (LGSP);
connecting with the National Government Service Platform (NGSP) for sharing
data with ministries and central agencies; and putting into operation a data
service portal to provide the municipal government’s information to the public
and businesses, especially information in the fields of construction, land, the
environment, transport, public investment, education, health care, tax, customs
and justice.
Vice Chairman of the municipal People’s
Committee Le Trung Chinh said the city is resolved to reform its working style
to make the people and enterprises the centre of its work, and take the public’s
satisfaction as the measurement of the operation of the e-government.
In the 2019-2020 period, Da Nang
will work to complete the city’s public service portal in association with
applying mobile apps and digital signature on mobile gadgets. The city aims to
have at least 30 percent of online public services use digital signature in
administrative procedures, and have 100 percent of public services performed
online at third- and fourth levels.
During 2021-2025, the city will
get itself ready in terms of infrastructure and database for the full
implementation of smart city and connection with ASEAN smart city network. The
city will continue to promote the use of technologies of the Fourth Industrial
Revolution (4IR) in enterprises and society.
To realize those goals, Da Nang
will mobilize all sources of resources and develop human resources for the
work, and will launch extensive communication campaigns to raise public
awareness about the importance of building an e-government.
Da Nang was the first city in
Vietnam to launch an e-Government system in 2014, and transferred the system to
16 cities and provinces in 2016.
According to a report, Da Nang’s e-Government system had been
used by 225 agencies and 4,000 users.
Da Nang had provided 1,200 online administration procedures,
including one-stop shops, residential management, public transport and water
supervision through the e-Government system, while free wireless internet
services offer a maximum of 20,000 connections in public places, according to the
city’s information and communications department.
The city’s IT infrastructure was available for smart connections for air control, water, garbage, meteorology and energy agencies. It could also provide earthquake and tsunami warnings, and data on flooding, erosion, sewage management and food safety.
Most recently, Da Nang earned the top place in the category of centrally-run provinces and cities of the E-Government Development Index 2018, which was announced at the end of April 2019. –VNA
