Ninh Binh works to speed up digital transformation for better lives of local people

Currently, Ninh Binh's people have actively taken part in the digital transformation process by using  online public services; electronic health insurance cards(VssID), telehealth services, and cashless payments.

Since Ninh Binh has defined digital transformation as a strategic task in its socio-economic development strategy, the 12th provincial Party Committee has issued Resolution No.01 on building the e-administration and digital transformation to 2025, with an orientation to 2030.

With three main pillars digital administration, digital economy and digital society, Ninh Binh province has been carrying out the digital transformation process synchronically and comprehensively, reaping initial encouraging results.

Information and communication infrastructure has been invested and brought about efficiency; the communication systems have been deployed, connecting four levels; electronic documents have replaced paper documents in state agencies; the ratio of providing level-3 or level-4 public services online has increased remarkably. In the first half of 2022, the ratio of documents handled online tripled as compared to the same period last year.

Another bright spot is the digital economy. The consumption of local farm produce on e-commerce platforms has helped local people,  business households and enterprises to expand production and markets, and increase the values of their products.

In the first nine months of 2022, over 1,000 products have been put on sale on e-commerce platforms, a year-on-year rise of 119%. In addition, cashless payments have been carried out widely.

The digital transformation process has created positive effects on social activities. Most people have applied digital technologies in their daily life and production.

Ninh Binh has established a group in a bid to support local people access digital technologies and digital platforms faster and more regularly in production, business and daily activities.

In order to speed up digital transformation for the goal of better lives of local people, the province has enhanced the communication work to raise awareness of local people and firms about the role, significance, and benefits of digital transformation.

At the same time, the province has encouraged the participation of the whole political system and local people in the digital transformation process.

Ninh Binh has also focused on launching initiatives to bring practical benefits to people by encouraging local residents to use digital products and digital services.
