Vietnam implements administrative restructuring of residential groups
Local authorities in Vietnam are implementing administrative restructuring by merging villages, hamlets, and residential groups. This policy aims to streamline organizational structures, improve state management efficiency, and reduce budget expenditures.
In Cam Duong Ward, officials have engaged in dialogues with residential groups to discuss activities following the merger. Successful implementation has relied on community consensus and proactive communication. For instance, in Nguyet Duc Commune, the merger process prioritized historical and cultural factors, such as restoring traditional village names, to address resident concerns regarding identity and distance.
Local leaders emphasize that the goal is not merely to reduce the number of administrative units but to create a more effective political system that serves the people while maintaining community cohesion and traditional values.
