Reduce burden and increase efficiency for rural grassroots governance

Reducing burdens and increasing efficiency for rural grass-roots governance

The General Office of the Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued the Opinions on Standardizing the Work Affairs, Mechanism Brand and Certification of Village-level Organizations (hereinafter referred to as the Opinions), which clearly stated: deepen and expand the achievements of reducing burdens at the grass-roots level, strengthen the source governance and system construction, and strive to basically realize the work with clear rights and responsibilities undertaken by village-level organizations in about two years.

Village-level organizations are the "last mile" to implement the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, and are an important force to fully implement the rural revitalization strategy. The service ability of village-level organizations is not strong, and the working level and enthusiasm of village cadres are not high, which greatly affects the effect of implementing various policies and guidelines. In the long run, it is more related to rural grassroots governance and rural development in China.

China attaches great importance to the construction of village-level organizations, and has made a series of decisions and arrangements, and various localities have actively introduced relevant measures to reduce the burden on village-level organizations and increase efficiency for rural governance. The results have continuously benefited the villagers and achieved considerable results. At the same time, we should also see that solving the problem of formalism is a systematic project and a long-term project, which needs long-term efforts and continuous efforts. Judging from the reality, there are still some problems and obstacles that have plagued the grassroots for a long time. The outstanding performance of village-level organizations is that there are many administrative affairs, many mechanism brands and many unreasonable proofs.

Village-level organizations and village cadres directly face the grass-roots people, often with too many things and too few people. In this case, it is not impossible to add tasks and placards, but it must be really needed by reality and must be guaranteed by corresponding resources. However, regardless of the actual situation, some places set up mechanisms and placards to arrange the tasks of village-level organizations, fill in forms to schedule the work of village-level organizations, and test the performance of village-level organizations by "whether to leave traces". These seemingly bustling, but in fact, the brand is "empty" and the work is "idle", which not only increases the burden of village-level organizations and village cadres, but also damages the image and credibility of the party and government. Similarly, in some places, village-level organizations are required to issue certificates covering a wide range, types and contents, and village-level organizations are also required to issue "wonderful" certificates, circular certificates and repeated certificates, which have brought great inconvenience to village-level organizations and local people.

in view of these blocking points and difficulties encountered by village-level organizations in their work, the Opinions focuses on key nodes, focusing on aspects such as "reducing the work burden of village-level organizations", "streamlining the working mechanism and brand of village-level organizations" and "improving the certification work of village-level organizations" to strengthen source governance and system construction. The first is the reduction of the reduction. For example, the work scope of village-level organizations has been clarified, and village-level organizations and village cadres have been freed from some unnecessary affairs; Standardize and integrate all kinds of village-level working mechanisms, and draw a "hard lever" for the newly established village-level working mechanism. The second is the increase. For example, to increase the tool of "government purchase" for village-level public services, and use social forces to help improve village-level organizational capacity. The third is the optimization of the optimization. For example, in view of the phenomenon that "trace management" is common, but it pays more attention to "trace" than "achievement" and leaves "trace" without "heart", it is proposed to establish an evaluation mechanism of village-level organizations oriented to solving practical problems and satisfying villagers. At the same time, in order to promote the implementation of the work, the "Opinions" also clearly cleaned up the standard time schedule and responsible subjects, required to be included in the assessment, graded guidance catalogue, and established a normalized supervision mechanism for village-level organizations.

The grass-roots level is the fertile ground for officers to start businesses, and it is also the first line to serve the masses. Improving the quality and empowerment of village-level organizations is to improve the efficiency of rural grassroots governance. It is a basic and long-term problem to solve the problem of "brand flying all over the sky" and make all policies and measures work in practice, be used by the grassroots and be used by the masses. It is expected that all localities and departments will strictly implement the spirit of the Opinions, resolutely oppose and overcome formalism and bureaucracy, promote village-level organizations to enhance their initiative, turn the effect of reducing the workload into the driving force for officials to start businesses and take responsibility, and promote the high-quality development of agriculture and rural areas.
