The apparatus has been consolidated in the direction of streamlining, stable and smooth operation. According to the report at the conference, after arrangement, the whole province has 78 commune-level administrative units, including 8 wards, 69 communes and Con Co special zone. The number of specialized agencies under the Provincial Peoples Committee decreased to 14 units, a decrease of 48.14% of focal points compared to before the arrangement; Organizations within specialized agencies reduced by 116 focal points. Along with consolidating the organizational structure, the province focused on arranging and arranging the team of officials, civil servants and public employees in accordance with new task requirements; increase professional staff from the provincial level to the grassroots; Promote training and fostering management skills and digital transformation for commune-level officials. Administrative reform, decentralization and decentralization of power continue to be promoted. Many administrative procedures are handled right at the facility, contributing to reducing travel time and creating convenience for people and businesses. The system of commune-level public administration service centers has gradually been invested and upgraded synchronously. Along with the above results, Quang Tri province raised difficulties and obstacles in the process of operating the new model. Notably, some communes and wards have areas and population sizes that do not meet regulations; The divided and scattered areas cause difficulties in state management. Small administrative boundaries limit development space, lack of synchronization in regional planning, regional linkage and connection of technical and social infrastructure. In addition, the number and method of staff assignment according to current regulations are not consistent with the practice of operating 2-level local governments, especially at the commune level. At commune-level government agencies, on average each civil servant undertakes more than 35 tasks, must concurrently handle many fields and many non-professional positions, leading to work overload. In addition, when ending the district-level administrative unit and merging the commune-level administrative unit, the distribution of cadres, civil servants and public employees was not uniform. In central communes and wards, conditions are favorable, the number of officials is much larger than the norm, the qualifications and capacity present are higher than the general level; while communes in remote, disadvantaged areas lack staff.
