On March 13, 2026, the Hai Phong City Steering Committee for the Administrative and Public Service Establishment Census officially issued Plan No. 25/KH-BCĐĐTCSHCSN to implement the 2026 census plan across the city. This is a large-scale general inventory of special significance for data digitalization, serving state management and administrative reform in the upcoming period.
Strategic Objectives and Practical Significance
The 2026 Administrative and Public Service Establishment Census (CSHCSN 2026) aims to collect full and accurate basic information about units. Collected content includes: the number of establishments, characteristics of the organizational structure, human resources, asset volume, revenue and expenditure results, and especially the level of information technology application in administrative and public service units.
Data from this census will provide a solid scientific and legal basis for Hai Phong to plan socio-economic development policies, evaluate the effectiveness of administrative reform, and implement modern, efficient organizational streamlining.
Extensive Scope and Subjects
The census covers the entire city across all economic sectors, excluding domestic help activities and international organizations. The subjects are divided into two main groups:
- Administrative establishments: Including Party and State agencies, socio-political organizations, and their subordinates.
- Public service units: Covering all key sectors such as education and training, health, culture, science and technology, economics, and information communication.
Each establishment and unit is identified as an independent investigative entity and is responsible for reporting information according to the instructions of the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Digital Transformation in Data Collection
A highlight of the 2026 census is the thorough application of information technology. Data collection is conducted for the entirety (without sampling) through electronic questionnaires. This format not only accelerates processing speed but also ensures transparency and data security in accordance with the Ministry of Home Affairs' plan.
The City Steering Committee emphasizes that heads of units must take full responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the provided information.
Implementation Under the "6 Clarity" Principle
To ensure the census proceeds synchronously and on schedule, the city has established a leadership system from the city to the commune level. The Department of Home Affairs serves as the permanent agency, presiding over consultations and coordinating with the Statistics Office to monitor data quality.
At the commune, ward, and special zone levels, the Steering Committee is required to implement the "6 Clarity" principle: Clear people, clear work, clear time, clear responsibility, clear product, and clear authority. This ensures high data reliability while avoiding waste.
Support and Expectations
The plan also specifies that units facing difficulties will receive direct guidance from the Department of Home Affairs to ensure no errors occur during the final results synthesis.
With careful preparation and high determination from the entire political system, the 2026 census is expected to provide a truthful "panorama" of Hai Phong's administrative and public service systems, serving as a solid foundation for the city's future breakthroughs.
