Implementation of Science, Technology, and Digital Transformation Resolutions Addressed in Vinh Long
Budget expenditure difficulties in implementing Resolution No. 57 and the necessity of working toward concrete products were evaluated in Vinh Long province.
The implementation of Resolution No. 57 in the fields of science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation was addressed in Vinh Long province. With emphasis from General Secretary and President To Lam and Provincial Party Secretary Tran Van Lau, shortcomings in the implementation phase, budget expenditure difficulties, and the need to work toward concrete products were evaluated.
Difficulties in the Implementation Process
Foundations have been laid and resources allocated for breakthrough developments in science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation. Now, the most formidable challenge is to translate every task into a final product and convert that product into value. This situation requires changes in placing orders, allocating funds, and evaluating personnel.
Evaluations by General Secretary To Lam
Concluding the National Conference on the preliminary review of Resolution No. 57, General Secretary and President To Lam stated that the weakest link at present is the implementation phase. Tasks regarding the implementation of the resolution should be considered completed when there are operational products, verifiable data, actual users, and measurable effectiveness.
Vinh Long's Task Completion Rate
Vinh Long has directly completed 57 out of the 61 tasks specified in Resolution No. 57 and 163 out of the 165 tasks according to the conclusions of the Central Steering Committee. These results demonstrate resolute effort, yet bottlenecks remain regarding resources and human resources.
Budget Expenditure and Allocation Status
In 2026, the provincial administration allocated 756.178 billion VND for recurrent expenditures. Of the 246.638 billion VND allocated to budget units at the provincial level, only 5.387 billion VND was spent in the first quarter. The discrepancy between allocated funds and the amount spent reflects difficulties in preparations and acceptance criteria.
Mechanism of Ordering and Acceptance Testing
Before assigning a task, the ordering institution, the implementing unit, the place of use, the final product, the technical criteria, and the delivery date must be clearly defined. Tasks that fail should be corrected or suspended in a timely manner.
Tran Van Lau's Directives for the New Period
Provincial Party Committee Secretary Tran Van Lau requested a transition from initiating to accelerating, and from working according to plans to working according to targets and products in the upcoming period. The evaluation of cadres must also rely on performance results.
Legal Documents and Infrastructure Investments
The provincial administration plans to finalize 10 legal documents. The Provincial Party Secretary has called for a focus on improving infrastructure and equipment serving digital transformation, particularly at the local government level where public affairs are directly conducted.
