Hanoi (VNA) – The Government proposed two optionsto pilot a mechanism to decentralise the management and implementation of nationaltarget programmes to district-level administrations at the fifth extraordinarysession of the 15th National Assembly on January 16.

In the first option, the Government recommended that thepilot mechanism should not be implemented right in the 2024-2025 period. Instead, policies guiding the implementation of nationaltarget programmes in the 2026-2030 period will be issued.
The Government said this option ensures caution without affecting State budget plans and estimates for the 2021-2025 period and each year in this period.

In the second option, the pilot mechanism should be appliedright in the 2024-2025 period, according to the proposal.

During discussions in groups, many NA deputies chose thesecond option. One of the supporters of this option, Nguyen Hoang Mai, a representative of Tien Giangprovince, said that this option will ensure thorough decentralisation tothe district-level administrations, enabling them to work proactively and flexibly in governing, managing and implementing the programmes, paving the way for the buildingof such programmes for the 2026-2030 period.

Hoang Quoc Khanh, a deputy of Lai Chau province suggestedthat provincial-level administrations should perform the supervising andinspecting role and leave the authority of implementing the programmes todistrict-level administrations.

However, some deputies underlined the need to clarify thecriteria to select districts for piloting the mechanism, prioritisinglocalities with strong performance in implementing national target programmesin the 2021-2025 period.

The Government's proposal presented a draft resolution on special mechanisms to implement national target programmes. The draft has six chapters, stipulating eight special mechanisms toremove difficulties and obstacles facing national target programmes and providefavourable conditions for localities to speed up their implementation as wellas the disbursement of capital for these programmes in the future.  

Currently, three national target programmes are underway, whichare on new-style rural area development, sustainable poverty reduction, and socioeconomicdevelopment in mountainous and ethnic minority areas./.
