Merging administrative agencies creates a breakthrough for development Thursday, March 13, 2025 | 16:57:07 Vietnam currently has 57 provinces plus 6 centrally-governed cities – Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Hue, Hai Phong, and Can Tho – at the province level. Several times since reunification in 1975 Vietnam has split or merged provincial level administrative agencies. A proposal to merge provinces has been under discussion for years. As Vietnam’s economy grows and production expands, there is an urgent need for a leaner, more efficient governance system. A reorganization of administrative agencies will result in a coordinated infrastructure, closer communication connections, and the emergence of new platforms to unlock potential and mobilize resources for development. Experts estimate that merging provinces and eliminating district-level administrations could save 11.2 billion USD annually, equivalent to 3.8% of GDP. Dr. Bui Duc Thu, former Deputy Head of the Committee of Deputy Affairs of the National Assembly Standing Committee, says merger will create a broader economic development space. Dr. Nguyen Tien Dinh, former Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Urgent, resolute and systematic approach needed The idea of provincial mergers has gained broad consensus over time. In recent years, the Vietnamese Party and State have taken steps to reorganize administrative units, starting at the commune level. The process follows principles approved by the National Assembly Standing Committee to ensure proper administrative boundaries. The most recent policy directive, in Conclusion 127 issued on February 28, the Party Politburo and Secretariat call for a study on merging certain provinces, eliminating district-level administrations, and adopting a two-tier local governance model. Under this Conclusion, the plan for restructuring administrative agencies at all levels and developing a two-tier local government will be reported to the Party Politburo, for the second time, by March 14. The Ministry of Home Affairs is finalizing the plan to present it to the Politburo. After gathering feedback from provincial and municipal Party Committees and relevant agencies, a final plan is to be submitted to the Party Central Committee by April 7. To ensure a well-informed decision, the Party Central Committee has deployed 20 working groups to localities to assess the situation. The merger of provincial administrative agencies must take into consideration local economic and social factors, cultural and historical contexts, local customs, and international experience. Bui Hoa Son, Permanent Member of the National Assembly’s Committee on Culture and Education Bui Hoa Son, Permanent Member of the National Assembly’s Committee on Culture and Education, said: "The process must focus on sustainable development, improved state management capacity, and the best conditions for the people and businesses. We need to assess the merger not solely on area or population size but also consider economic, cultural, and social factors, infrastructure, management capacity, and connectivity between localities. Experience from previous mergers at the district and commune level can be a basis for drawing lessons and making appropriate adjustments." Vietnam’s administrative restructuring is a revolution that eliminates inefficiencies and sets the stage for a more dynamic, integrated, and prosperous future for Vietnam.
