Institutional reform! Five county-level departments at the municipal level were abolished
Since 2014, China's local ** system has undergone profound changes, and almost all provincial, municipal and county-level ** institutions have undergone significant adjustments. Especially in 2023, more than 10 provinces and cities have carried out large-scale institutional reforms, which demonstrates the firm determination of local governments to deepen institutional reform.
In these reforms, more than 80% of the first-class departments have optimized or restructured their functions according to the needs of the development of the times. This measure aims to improve the governance efficiency of the first and better serve economic and social development. However, at the grassroots level, these changes are not well known to everyone. According to statistics, about 60% of the staff of the sub-district office are not clear about the details of the changes in the functions of their units, reflecting that the understanding of institutional adjustment at the grassroots level needs to be strengthened.
The main measures of the current round of institutional reform at the municipal and county levels include the abolition and reorganization of some departments. For example, the Municipal Inspectorate was integrated into the Municipal Supervision Commission, a move aimed at strengthening the supervision and unified investigation of public officials. This integration has improved the efficiency of supervision, such as the newly established Municipal Supervision Commission, which opened and investigated more than 260 corruption cases in the first half of last year, a year-on-year increase of 42 percent.
The decision to abolish the Foreign Affairs Office is aimed at promoting the professionalization and centralization of foreign affairs work, enhancing coordination between units, and improving the efficiency of deliberations. In addition, the integration of the Bureau of Resources and Planning has helped to standardize and improve the efficiency of land use and project approvals, and the newly established Bureau of Natural Resources has implemented a number of reform measures that have significantly shortened the service cycle and brought convenience to the people and urban development.
* The reform of the Development Research Centre will help to bring the research and advisory functions closer to the overall situation of economic work and avoid duplication of functions. The reorganization of the port office has led to a more professional level of responsibility, such as a clear focus on port transport and source statistics.
The significance of these reforms lies in straightening out the best functions, strengthening the party's overall leadership, optimizing the structural layout, efficiently allocating management resources, strictly supervising to ensure people's livelihood and integrity construction, and promoting open government affairs to protect the public's right to know. This not only makes the establishment of first-class institutions more scientific and standardized, but also has a positive effect on promoting high-quality economic development.
Although this round of deepening institutional reform marks important progress, it is only the beginning. **In the future, it is still necessary to continue to strengthen self-construction and improve work efficiency to better meet the people's growing demand for a better life. The main tasks facing ** in the current and future period include:
Further deepen the streamlining of administration and delegation of powers, and strictly implement the power list system. The key to this measure is to further unleash the vitality of market players and provide more powerful support for economic development. By reducing unnecessary administrative intervention, it can stimulate the enthusiasm of businesses and individuals for innovation and entrepreneurship, and promote economic efficiency and healthy development.
Improve the responsibility system and incentive mechanism, and build a more professional and professional team. This will not only help to improve the overall quality and efficiency of the civil service, but also effectively prevent the restoration of bureaucracy. A professional civil service is the key to efficient functioning and the foundation for the delivery of quality public services.
Further increase the transparency of government affairs and unblock channels for democratic supervision. This is an important way to ensure that decision-making is more fair and reasonable, and close to the needs of the people. By strengthening information disclosure and public participation, we can better understand and respond to the concerns of all sectors of society, while enhancing their credibility and transparency.
Finally, in-depth investigation of outdated systems and mechanisms, timely elimination of existing shortcomings and blind spots. This is the key to ensuring that the best institutions and operational mechanisms can meet the actual needs of economic and social development. ** Continuous self-innovation is required to adapt to a rapidly changing social environment and to ensure that policies and measures are effective in responding to new challenges and needs.
In the face of growing social needs and a rapidly changing international environment, the task of structural reform is far from over. The next focus is to deepen the reform to ensure that the structure and operation can continue to meet the requirements of the times. This requires self-innovation and self-improvement at multiple levels to keep it vigorous and efficient.
* The goal of institutional reform is not only to improve administrative efficiency and transparency, but more importantly, to build a modern system that can adapt to the changes of the times, meet the needs of the people, and serve the long-term development of the country. Through continuous self-innovation and improvement, we will be able to promote social progress and national prosperity more effectively.
