PROJECT
ON THE STATE ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGEMENT COMPUTERIZATION IN
THE 2001-2005 PERIOD
(Issued together with the Prime Minister’s Decision No. 112/2001/QD-TTg of
July 25, 2001)
In 1990, the Government Office was assigned by
the Ministers Council’s Standing Board the task of studying and implementing
the State administrative management computerization project.
To perform this task, from 1991 to 1997, the
Government Office already implemented four projects, two of which were
financially supported by the French Government (in the 1991-1993 and 1994-1996
periods); one invested with the State budget under the national IT program (the
1996-1998 period); and another on the Government’s wide area network under the
Prime Minister’s Decision No. 280/TTg of April 29, 1997.
The technical infrastructure recently formulated
by the above-mentioned 4 projects has laid foundation for the management and
administration computerization in the State administrative bodies throughout
the country; promoted the establishment of information systems and electronic
databases in service of direction and administration of the Government, the
Prime Minister and local authorities.

In order to make it compatible with the
2001-2010 program on the State administrative reform, the Prime Minister has
decided on an overall project on the State administrative management
computerization in the 2001-2005 period with the following major contents and
assigned the Government Office to assume the prime responsibility and
coordinate with the ministries, ministerial-level agencies, agencies attached
to the Government and People’s Committees of all levels to implement it:
I. BASES OF THE PROJECT ON
THE STATE ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGEMENT COMPUTERIZATION IN THE 2001-2005 PERIOD
The Project on the State administrative
management computerization in the 2001-2005 period is based on:
1. The Government’s Resolution No. 49/CP of
August 4, 1993 on IT development in our country in the 1990�s and the Prime Minister’s
Decision No. 211/TTg of April 7, 1995, which determined that State management
is a field of top priority in IT application, thereby the Government has
decided the initial investment in the State management computerization program
within the framework of the 1996-1998 national IT program, including the
investment project on the Government’s wide area network (the investment
results shall be demonstrated in the sections below).
2. Directive No. 58/CT-TW of October 17, 2000 of
the Politburo of the Party Central Committee, VIIIth Congress, which
pointed to the task of IT application for the Party and State bodies in the
2001-2005 period as follows: "The Party and State bodies as well as
socio-political organizations shall lead the IT application in all activities
on the principle of ensuring the thriftiness, practicality and long-term
efficiency. Computerization of the Party and State bodies’ activities
constitutes an essential part of the national administrative reform, a regular
task of the agencies, aiming to enhance the management capability, to raise
productivity, quality and efficiency. The Party committees and organizations at
all levels shall direct the prompt establishment of necessary information
systems in service of the people’s public interests, the Party’s leadership and
State’s management. To soon perfect, regularly upgrade and effectively use the
Party’s and Government’s wide area networks. To ensure that by 2005 the Party’s
and Government’s electronic information system be basically established and put
into operation".
3. The Government’s Decision on signing the
E-ASEAN Framework Agreement at the 4th informal summit meeting held
in Singapore on April 24, 2000, under Articles 3 and 9 of which Vietnam commits
itself to achieve the target of building an electronic Government.
4. The 2001-2010 program on the State
administrative reform, which set forth the objective of modernizing the State
administration, and under which, by the year 2010, the Government’s
electronic-information network shall be uniformly established and put into
operation in two periods: 2001-2005 and 2006-2010.
II. GENERAL EVALUATION OF THE
STATE ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGEMENT COMPUTERIZATION SITUATION IN THE RECENT PAST
1. In 1990, the Ministers Council’s Standing
Board ratified the project on the application of informatics and information
techniques at the Government Office (Official Dispatch No. 1265/TH of April 24,
1990 of the Government Office announcing the Decision of the Ministers
Council’s Standing Board).

At the end of 1993, the Government Office
already established a local area network and initially applied modern IT to the
direction and control work of the Prime Minister, linking information to a
number of ministries and the People’s Committees of key provinces.
Though the informatics application at the
Government Office in the initial stage is just beginning with new applied
technology, thanks to the Prime Minister’s concern and direction, the State
administrative management computerization at the Government Office has laid a
groundwork for the computerization of management and administration of the
State administrative bodies throughout the country.
2. After promulgating Resolution No. 49/CP on IT
development (August 1993), the Prime Minister ratified the five-year
(1995-2000) plan on the deployment of the national IT program. In the 1996-1998
period, around 50% of the program’s fund (VND 160 billion) was concentrated on
the target of computerizing the State management information system, initially
creating technical infrastructure for the State management computerization and
IT application in the specialized management activities.
Based on this technical infrastructure, the
State administrative bodies have step by step set up information systems and
electronic databases in service of management and administration of the Prime
Minister, ministries, branches and local authorities of different levels.
To date, the system of local area networks has
already been set up in 61 provinces and centrally-run cities and almost all
ministries, ministerial-level agencies and agencies attached to the Government.
This system also covers operational information systems, file managing systems
and databases in service of the research in and support for administrative
decision-making process.
The Government’s wide area network was
established to link central computer networks of 61 provinces and cities with
around 40 key agencies of the Government through 2,500 terminals and 180
servers nationwide and 50 different applied programs. With the Government’s
wide area network, the State administrative bodies have effected the
multi-directional information transmission and reception, including the legal
document system, the system of periodical reports, extraordinary reports and
e-mails..., ensuring the promptness, safety and efficient service of direction
and administration of the State administrative bodies.
In addition to the Government’s wide area
network, 6 national databases have been formulated, including the national
databases on finance, socio-economic statistics, laws, land resources and
population. At the end of 1999, the feasibility study reports of these national
database projects were finalized. Data of two national databases on finance and
statistics have well served the Government’s direction and administration work.
The computer training has been conducted in line
with the building of computer systems in the State administrative bodies. Ten
thousands of experts and employees have gone through fundamental computer
courses and in fact, acquired computer command at different levels in their
professional activities. Particularly, many of these people can efficiently use
informatics instruments to access to and exchange on-line information, thereby
well serving the research to fulfill their assigned tasks.
In late 1997, Vietnam joined Internet. A lot of
information exploited from the Internet has made considerable contributions in
terms of information and documentation, supporting the work of direction and
administration of the Government, the Prime Minister and other State agencies
in the making of policies.

This is attributed mainly to the fact that
authorities, branches and localities had not clearly recognized the IT’s role in
the direction and administration work; had failed to combine the IT application
with the process of administrative reform and renovation of the mode of
leadership, direction and management. More concretely:
- On macro-administration: The national
IT program commenced in 1996 and ended in early 1998 with an investment fund of
VND 280 billion, VND 160 billion of which were spent on the performance of the
task of computerization at the State administrative bodies. In such
circumstance, many big items already ratified by the Prime Minister in the
master plan have not been materialized.
The State administrative management
computerization projects of the ministries and provincial-level People’s
Committees have also been partly realized. The investment capital amount of VND
160 billion for computerization work from 1996 to 1998 satisfied only 20-25% of
the demand for capital for the already ratified projects of 100 ministerial-
and provincial-level administrative agencies.
According to the Government Office’s survey,
most computerization projects have been suspended; a number of agencies are
capable of continuing investment in realization of the State management
computerization targets but along different technological directions; a number
of other agencies are waiting for the Government’s unified development
approach. Meanwhile, only 10% of the demand for investment capital (VND 30
billion) for national databases, was satisfied. The national database projects,
therefore, have stopped short at the stage of finalizing the feasibility study
reports and conducting experimental application, awaiting capital for further
implementation.
- The emergence of information localization:
Many ministries and branches deem that information under their management is
their own information, not the national property, or fail to fully supply
general data for other agencies to have enough information for policy
elaboration and decision making. Many public servants in the State agencies at
the central or local level have a habit of accumulating information for their
own use, and when receiving information within the area under their management,
deliberately not updating it on the computer network for common use.
- Data on computer network: The system of IT
technical infrastructure has reached a certain standard, allowing the
multi-directional transmission and reception of information. Though the
information arising in the process of administrative management is plentiful,
the accumulation thereof in electronic form remains low; to date, only some
fundamental information is accumulated on the net. This is mainly due to the
fact that authorities and branches of different levels are not determined to
attach the IT application to their daily work, the administrative discipline in
updating electronic information is not strictly complied with, and the
administrative reform is not strong enough to put the computer system into
operation of the State administrative apparatus.
- On organizational structure: So far, the
general provisions on the position, functions and tasks of the units assuming
the prime responsibility for projects on the State administrative management
computerization in the system of State administrative bodies have not yet been
elaborated; even there have been no ranks and titles for public servants doing
informatics jobs. For that reason, the State administrative bodies cannot
attract skillful technical experts, thus restricting the acceptance and
transfer of technology as well as the direction of implementation of
application projects; the open system�s
principles and general standards on information and technology have not been
tightly controlled.
- On financial mechanism: Since 1998, the fund
for the State administrative management computerization has been covered by the
budget regular expenditure source. Therefore, the ministries, branches and
localities cannot afford the investment in completion of the computerization
projects or continue materializing the basic applications in their management
and administration activities. The informatics technical infrastructure of many
State administrative bodies remains basically the same as it was in 1998.
Because of the too high information transmission
charge, those ministries and branches that have to frequently access to the Government’s
wide area network, have to spend dozens of millions dong per month for the
North-South communication axis. Offices of the People’s Committees of various
localities also have to spend several millions dong per month on operation of
the wide area network. Meanwhile, the budget regular expenditure source of the
administrative bodies is still limited, thus leading to the fact that many
ministries, branches and local People’s Committees have to restrict the use of
the network due to high transmission charges. This has also restricted the
efficiency of the use of computer network as well as of management and
administration activities of the State administrative bodies.

Proceeding from the practical situation of
implementation of the national IT program in the 1996 � 1998 period, based on the evaluation of
achievements as well as remaining problems and shortcomings, we can draw the
following lessons:
First, the State administrative management
computerization is a complicated job because it is based on high technology and
relates to functions, tasks, organizational structure and competence of the
State administrative bodies as well as process of administrative reform, which
requires high unanimity in the entire State administrative system. Hence, there
must be a specialized informatics section to take charge of the unified control
of the computerization work.
Second, the computerization of the State
management information system cannot be considered a simple service. It is, in
fact, a process of creating electronic data aimed at raising the effectiveness
and efficiency of administration, the key to the administrative reform. Since
the computerization process has just started and still lasts for many years, it
cannot be classified as a routine work and accordingly be subject to the
funding regulation as the routine affairs.
Third, investment in the State management
computerization is too small as compared to that for the systems of
computerization of banking, finance and aviation services... It, therefore,
must be raised to a level that can assure the system’s synchronous operation.
Fourth, to pay attention to computer training
for the contingent of public servants in the State administrative bodies. The
system, though it may be well formulated, cannot well operate if the public
servants and people working in the administrative system are still unable to
operate computers and fail to comply with computer operation discipline.
Fifth, to attach importance to the establishment
of databases, especially the national, specialized and territorial ones; to
work out mechanism for computerization management in order to strengthen the
supervision and inspection of implementation of the computerization plan as
part of the socio-economic development plan.
Sixth, to work out measures on organization and
personnel for informatics units in the administrative bodies under a unified
regulation because a unified system cannot be built up without a unified
organization.

IV. INVESTMENT (THE 2001-2005
PERIOD)
1. Architectural requirements
on the State administrative management computerization system:
The system is composed of the fairly independent
information database systems of the ministries, ministerial-level agencies,
agencies attached to the Government (hereafter called ministries for short) and
People’s Committees of the provinces and centrally-run cities (hereafter called
provinces for short). The system’s components are bound together in their
horizontal and vertical relationship.
The horizontal relationship means the
relationship of exchanging and sharing specialized information among branches.
...
...
...

Proceeding from the requirement that information
serves the performance of the management task in each organizational system,
the computerization must be conducted right in the ministries,
ministerial-level agencies, agencies attached to the Government and
provincial-level People’s Committees. At the top level of each system
(ministry, province), an integrated database center shall be set up under the
management of the concerned ministry or province. Such a center shall be the
place not for updating or storing the control data but for connecting
operational databases of the units in each system. The center shall function to
supply and share general information, transmit management orders through legal
documents and administrative official dispatches of the competent
administrative levels.
The integrated database center of every system
shall horizontally relate to the same center of another system via the
Government’s integrated database center.
Therefore, the integrated database centers shall
be set up at the following levels:
a/ The Governmental level: The integrated
database center shall be placed at the center of the CPNET (the Government
Office);
b/ The ministerial level: The integrated
database centers shall be placed at the ministries, ministerial-level agencies
and agencies attached to the Government;
c/ The provincial level: The integrated database
centers shall be placed at the offices of the People’s Councils and People’s
Committees.
The Government’s integrated database center
functions to connect databases of the ministries, ministerial-level agencies,
agencies attached to the Government and provincial-level People’s Committees,
to share general information among these units in service of the direction and
administration work of the Prime Minister and the ministerial-,
provincial-level State administrative bodies. The governmental-level integrated
database center shall provide a common communication infrastructure for the
ministries, branches and provincial-level People’s Committees via the CPNET.
The ministerial-level integrated database center
shall connect the control databases of the ministry, including units subject to
the ministry’s vertical professional direction but attached to the provincial
People’s Committee; supply and share information among units of the ministry
and with other ministries and provincial People’s Committees via the
governmental-level integrated database center.
The provincial-level integrated database center
shall function to connect the operational databases of the provincial/municipal
services, departments, branches, urban districts, rural districts, provincial
towns and capitals as well as communes and wards within a province; to share
information in service of the direction and administration work of the
president of the provincial-level People’s Committee and units within the
province. The provincial integrated database center shall also provide the
common communication infrastructure for the provincial/municipal services,
departments, branches, urban districts, rural districts, provincial towns and
capitals as well as communes and wards through the province’s wide area
network.

Minister’s Decision No. 280/TTg of April 29, 1997, is designed and built up
according to the divisible architecture of the State administrative bodies and
divided into the following levels:
Level A: The Government
Level B: The ministries, provinces
Level C: The provincial/municipal services,
departments, branches, districts, provincial towns or departments and units
attached to the ministries.

DIAGRAM ON THE
CONNECTION OF PROVINCIAL/MUNICIPAL SERVICES, DEPARTMENTS AND BRANCHES WITH THE
MINISTRIES AND BRANCHES THROUGH THE CPNET
The CPNET has already been designed according to
the general architecture of the State management computerization system,
including:
- A North-South communication axis, with a speed
of 64KB, X25 model,
- 35 ISDN lines linking 35 ministerial offices
with the Government Office,
- To connect 61 offices of the provincial
People’s Councils and People’s Committees with the CPNET; many provincial
People’s Committees have expanded the CPNET to the departmental, district,
commune and ward-level bodies.
So, the CPNET has already constituted the
technical infrastructure for the State administrative management
computerization system in the new investment period.
3. Investment estimates
...
...
...
Please sign up or sign in to your Pro Membership to see English documents.
- The investment in the establishment of the
State administrative management computerization system must comply with the
principle that the formation of database information is considered the main
objective; and informatics instruments are important means to achieve that
objective. Before deciding investment, it is necessary to clearly determine:
what is the information database and information volume to be managed; who will
manage it and how; what are the service purposes and how are the administrative
bodies ready to participate in the system; the extent of attachment of the
computerized information system with the process of the units� administrative reform; the
procurement of complete equipment is effected only after the job�s objectives and
to-be-achieved information volume are clearly determined
- The computerization at the State
administrative bodies must comply with the principle of uniformity of network
technology (according to the CPNET’s standards) and applications used commonly
in the State administrative bodies under the professional guidance of the
Government Office. It is necessary to carry out the experimental deployment in
a number of ministries and provincial People’s Committees so as to supply
technological solutions and common programs for the whole system of the State
