Mr. Ly Van Dep acknowledged that the PAR Index 2022 of departments, agencies, district-level People's Committees, and commune-level People's Committees show quite accurately and comprehensively the actual implementation of PAR at agencies, units, localities. Thereby, it shows that many PAR fields and tasks continue to have good and stable changes; at the same time, the efforts and determination to accelerate the PAR of units and localities in the province have brought remarkable results, increasingly recognized and appreciated by people and businesses.

However, the results of the evaluation and ranking also show that some criteria and component criteria are still low, have not met the requirements, and there is also a clear difference between localities in the implementation of these contents. These limitations and inadequacies stem from both objective and subjective reasons. The announcement conference is also an opportunity for units and localities to study and analyze data, thereby, to issue and implement remedial solutions.
