Vietnam continues to implement administrative, digital, and regional development reforms across multiple provinces. In specific localities like Quang Ninh and Bac Ha, a two-level local government model has been used to shift administrative mindsets toward active public service through mobile support teams and merged administrative units. 

Recent developments show the expansion of this two-level model and digital integration. In Lập Thạch, the local government has prioritized education, with 14 out of 15 public educational institutions achieving national standards and reaching 100% digital integration in school management via electronic records and digital signatures. In the mountainous Lũng Cú commune of Tuyên Quang, the model has improved access to public services, with the local Public Administration Service Center managing civil status, land, and social policies to bridge geographical gaps for remote residents. In Hanoi, the Đại Mỗ ward has transitioned toward a ‘development-creating’ governance model, utilizing a ‘4-axis’ management mechanism and ‘6-clear’ principles to enhance administrative efficiency.

Broader regional efforts include Ho Chi Minh City passing resolutions on infrastructure and land management, while Can Tho pilots AI education. Provinces like Son La and Lai Chau are focusing on land data cleanup and restructuring. In Ca Mau, development has expanded into large-scale renewable energy, including a 170 MW wind power cluster intended to support Vietnam’s ‘Net Zero 2050’ commitment. The province also continues to pursue economic growth through significant investment memorandums and green energy projects.
