Vietnam accelerates digital transformation through regional campaigns

Various regions and sectors in Vietnam are launching intensive digital transformation initiatives to streamline administration and reduce digital inequality.

In Lang Son, the provincial People's Committee has activated a 100-day campaign to resolve digital bottlenecks. The initiative follows a “six clear” principle—clarifying people, tasks, responsibilities, timing, results, and authority—to ensure measurable progress in digital skills and infrastructure.

Quang Ninh is also implementing a 100-day action plan focused on administrative procedures. The city aims to simplify digital processes so citizens and businesses do not have to resubmit existing data. Currently, the city reports a 99.8% digitization rate for records and a 99.31% reuse rate for digital information.

Simultaneously, the Party's organizational sector is undergoing a 100-day digital administration standardization campaign to improve leadership and management through digital environments. This includes cleaning data and standardizing processes across various party units.

Experts warn, however, of a growing digital divide. While online service participation is rising, there is a risk that ethnic minority communities and geographically isolated areas may struggle with actual digital literacy, potentially relying on intermediaries rather than using services independently.
