However, digital transformation in Long An is still limited.The status of processing records on one-stop software is not synchronised withpaper records, leading to inaccurate information and statistics. Websites of severaldepartments, sectors and district People's Committees provide incompleteinformation as regulated, while IT human resources in state agencies are stillinadequate.

Hoa asked departments, sectors and localities to pay attentionto the selection of human resources for the public administration sector, andhave a change in awareness of digital transformation from leaders to staffs.

Building a digital government is not the sole task of theDepartment of Information and Communications, but a common task of eachdepartment, sector and locality, he noted, asking localities to determine thespecific roadmap of tasks to be carried out in 2022./.
