One of them is to step up reform of civil service and civil servants, and form the civil service regime based on job positions.

The Ministry will uniformly inspect qualifications of civil servants, which will serve as the basis for ministries, agencies and localities to select and recruit servants in accordance with their demands and tasks; and perfect standards and titles for civil servants, standards for leaders and managerial officers at different levels.

Tra is determined to build better policies that connect civil servants at the commune level with district and provincial levels. 

“I want to build a common civil service regime and replace the current career-based civil service model with a job position-based model. This is the most modern regime we need to follow. But in order to do this, it is necessary to define every job position,” Tra said, adding that this is a difficult task, but MHA plans to complete the work in 2023.

Also in 2023, the Ministry will set policies to discover and attract talents, and encourage cadres "to dare to think, dare to do and dare to make breakthroughs" for common benefit. It is also reforming methods of assessing cadres, civil servants and public employees to ensure objectivity and fairness.

In 2023, the Ministry will implement works shown in the conclusions of the Politburo, the resolutions of the National Assembly Standing Committee and the resolutions of the government on arranging administrative units at district and commune levels in the 2022-2025 period. This will be associated with the amendment and supplementation of policies on personnel streamlining and handling of civil servants and public employees who will become redundant after streamlining.

It is expected that in 2023, MHA will complete studies to define the concepts of urban and rural administration, the models of city within city, and city within province. On that basis, institutional systems and policies on urban, rural, and island government models, and special administrative and economic units will be created.

In 2022, 17 general directorates and equivalent units under central ministries and branches, eight departments under general directorates and ministries, and 145 departments/divisions were cut as part of the reorganization of the administrative apparatus.
