Lam Dong to Apply KPIs to Accelerate Performance Across All Sectors and Localities

On the afternoon of July 30, leaders of the Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee convened a meeting to review the province's socio-economic, national defense and security performance in July and the first seven months of 2026, while outlining priorities and solutions for the months ahead.

Representatives of provincial departments, agencies and relevant units attended the meeting, which was connected online with 124 communes, wards and special administrative zones across Lam Dong.

Opening the meeting, Ho Van Muoi, Member of the Party Central Committee, Deputy Secretary of the Lam Dong Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, acknowledged that the province had achieved encouraging socio-economic results during the first seven months of the year. However, he noted that several key targets remained below expectations and implementation in some areas was still facing difficulties.

Among the main challenges are the slow disbursement of public investment capital, the arrangement, management and utilization of surplus public assets following administrative restructuring, and the removal of obstacles facing non-budget investment projects.

Chairman Ho Van Muoi announced that Lam Dong would soon introduce a KPI-based evaluation system covering all sectors, localities and individual officials. He stressed that heads of agencies and units must enhance leadership capacity and take greater responsibility for implementing assigned tasks.

“

Every department and locality must review all sectors and implementation targets, then establish KPIs to comprehensively assess performance. Any unresolved difficulties must be promptly reported to the Provincial People's Committee for support. Every agency must act with determination and urgency to accelerate socio-economic development.

According to the provincial assessment, Lam Dong maintained positive socio-economic momentum during July and the first seven months of 2026.

Agricultural production remained on schedule, industrial output continued to expand, and tourism promotion campaigns attracted increasing numbers of domestic and international visitors.

State budget revenue recorded positive growth. The province continued to attract major non-budget investment projects with substantial registered capital, while the number of newly established and reactivated businesses also increased.

Social welfare, culture, sports, healthcare and education continued to receive strong attention, while national defense, security and public order remained stable.

Despite these positive developments, the disbursement of public investment capital remained below target. Renewable energy projects also continued to encounter procedural obstacles related to connection to the national power grid.

During the meeting, provincial departments, agencies and local authorities focused on identifying major bottlenecks affecting socio-economic development. Participants also proposed a range of solutions to accelerate double-digit GRDP growth, improve the disbursement of public investment capital and further stimulate tourism.

Regarding public investment, departments and local authorities are accelerating land clearance while addressing issues related to land valuation, compensation and resettlement in order to speed up project implementation.

Local authorities are also reviewing all public land assets and their current utilization to remove legal and administrative obstacles and create more favorable conditions for investment attraction.

To sustain economic growth, relevant agencies are expediting the preparation of master plans for communes and accelerating the development of transport infrastructure. Efforts are also underway to remove barriers and approve investment policies for key development projects.

Several provincial agencies have worked closely with investors and local authorities to conduct preliminary reviews of legal procedures and project documentation so that investment proposals can be submitted immediately once all requirements are met.

Departments and agencies also presented plans to stimulate tourism and strengthen investment promotion activities following the reopening of Lien Khuong International Airport.

The Vice Chairpersons of the Provincial People's Committee instructed departments and local authorities to carefully review and address outstanding issues related to the management and use of surplus public assets.

They emphasized that every stage—from asset valuation and leasing to changes in land-use purposes—must be carried out in accordance with regulations while ensuring that implementation remains on schedule.

For public land assets, local authorities were instructed to review and incorporate them into annual land-use plans. Depending on their legal authority, agencies must accelerate appropriate solutions so that these assets can be put into effective and efficient use.

The Vice Chairpersons also directed communes, wards and special administrative zones to fulfill state budget revenue targets in order to increase provincial revenue.

Local governments were instructed to work closely with local statistical agencies to review economic growth scenarios and closely monitor implementation so that development targets can be accelerated across all sectors.

Administrative reform, particularly in land-related procedures, must be strengthened immediately to facilitate services for both residents and businesses. Outstanding complaints relating to compensation and resettlement should also be resolved thoroughly and without delay.

Provincial leaders further instructed relevant agencies to strengthen coordination in addressing illegal land encroachment, particularly in forestry areas. Communes and wards were also directed to determine the scale of future development projects and incorporate them into their local master plans.

Local governments were also instructed to tighten the management of fishing fleets, ensuring that vessels lacking valid operating certificates are not permitted to put to sea.

Meanwhile, fishing port management authorities were directed to accelerate investment in anchorage facilities to ensure the safety of fishermen and their vessels, particularly during the rainy and stormy season.

Assigning tasks for the coming months, Ho Van Muoi, Member of the Party Central Committee, Deputy Secretary of the Lam Dong Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, said that the province has already clearly identified its development plan and every major bottleneck across all sectors. Delays in implementation, he stressed, are now largely attributable to human factors rather than policy.

“

The most important issue now is people. In the coming period, Lam Dong will take a much more decisive approach to personnel management. Any individual who fails to perform or cannot meet the required standards will be firmly replaced

Chairman Ho Van Muoi emphasized that during the third quarter of 2026, all provincial departments, agencies and local governments must move with greater urgency.

"There is no alternative but to accelerate," he said, adding that if every level of government works together to remove existing obstacles, Lam Dong can confidently move closer to achieving its double-digit GRDP growth target.

The Chairman assigned the Department of Industry and Trade to closely monitor the processing of legal documents and administrative procedures for investment projects, particularly those in the energy sector.

Departments, agencies and local authorities responsible for unnecessary delays in handling project documentation will be held fully accountable before the provincial leadership.

For the Department of Agriculture and Environment, Chairman Ho Van Muoi called for decisive action to resolve issues within its authority, including land leasing, land use, forestry management and high-tech agriculture.

The department was also instructed to work closely with relevant enforcement agencies to intensify efforts against counterfeit and substandard products, particularly agricultural products produced and traded within the province.

The Chairman further directed provincial departments and local authorities to proactively address the arrangement and management of surplus public assets following the merger of administrative units.

As authority over these assets now rests largely with local governments, he stressed that communes, wards and relevant agencies must take greater responsibility for handling them effectively and preventing the waste of public resources.

Communes and wards were also instructed to work directly with investors to remove obstacles affecting non-budget-funded investment projects.

Chairman Ho Van Muoi stressed that Lam Dong will not tolerate situations in which investment bottlenecks are resolved but projects remain stalled, resulting in wasted development resources.

Regarding the disbursement of public investment capital, he noted that although the province has issued repeated directives, implementation by several departments and local authorities has remained slow due to complacency.

By the end of July 2026, the Office of the Provincial People's Committee will formally criticize agencies and project owners that fail to meet the required implementation targets.

“

Vice Chairpersons of the Provincial People's Committee assigned to oversee communes, wards and special administrative zones must closely monitor their respective localities and urge project owners and contractors to accelerate construction progress. Wherever problems arise, they must be resolved immediately. Under no circumstances should funding remain idle while projects are delayed.
