Local authorities in Vietnam are implementing administrative reforms focused on direct community engagement and grassroots outreach to resolve resident complaints.

In Hà Tĩnh Province, officials in Hà Linh commune have introduced models such as “No Appointment Saturday” and “Weekend Working Group to the Grassroots.” These initiatives involve leaders and staff traveling directly to villages and households to address long-standing issues on-site.

Similarly, in Tuyen Quang Province, authorities in mountainous areas like Minh Ngoc commune are shifting away from a reliance on written reports. Officials are prioritizing active visits to villages and hamlets to foster two-way interaction, aiming to understand specific community difficulties and ensure policies are implemented effectively through practical solutions.
