  "Roles of Provincial and District Authorities in the Transition": "## Roles of Provincial and District Authorities in the Transition\n\n### Provincial-Level Strategic Guidance and Oversight\n\nProvincial authorities play a pivotal role in providing strategic guidance and oversight for the implementation of the 2-tier local government model, which officially commenced operations on July 1, 2025 ([baochinhphu.vn](https://baochinhphu.vn/chinh-quyen-dia-phuong-2-cap-se-van-hanh-tu-1-7-2025-ca-he-thong-chinh-tri-buoc-vao-cuoc-nuoc-rut-lich-su-102250611122819752.htm)). This involves translating national directives into actionable provincial plans and ensuring their coherent execution across subordinate administrative units. A key document guiding this transition is Công văn số 03/CV-BCĐ, issued on April 15, 2025, by the Steering Committee for administrative unit rearrangement and the construction of the 2-tier local government model. Signed by Minister of Home Affairs Phạm Thị Thanh Trà, this document was dispatched to Provincial Party Committees and People's Committees, outlining the orientation for rearranging administrative units and local government organization, with a particular emphasis on organizational structure and personnel ([ancofi.com.vn](https://ancofi.com.vn/dinh-huong-sap-xep-co-so-y-te-giao-duc-va-don-vi-su-nghiep-cong-lap-truc-thuoc-ubnd-cap-huyen/), [xaydungchinhsach.chinhphu.vn](https://xaydungchinhsach.chinhphu.vn/dinh-huong-sap-xep-co-so-y-te-giao-duc-va-don-vi-su-nghiep-cong-lap-truc-thuoc-ubnd-cap-huyen-119250416113610383.htm)).\n\nThe provincial level is tasked with the macro-management of policy, strategy, and planning, addressing inter-regional or inter-facility issues that exceed the capacity of lower levels, and ensuring uniformity across the province ([xaydungchinhsach.chinhphu.vn](https://xaydungchinhsach.chinhphu.vn/day-manh-thuc-hien-6-giai-phap-de-phat-huy-hieu-qua-viec-sap-xep-don-vi-hanh-chinh-xay-dung-mo-hinh-to-chuc-chinh-quyen-dia-phuong-2-cap-119250521100134138.htm)). This includes the significant task of overseeing the rearrangement of provincial-level administrative units, which has resulted in a national total of 34 provincial-level units (28 provinces and 6 centrally-run cities) as of June 12, 2025, following the consolidation of 52 units into 23 and the retention of 11 existing units ([baochinhphu.vn](https://baochinhphu.vn/chinh-quyen-dia-phuong-2-cap-se-van-hanh-tu-1-7-2025-ca-he-thong-chinh-tri-buoc-vao-cuoc-nuoc-rut-lich-su-102250611122819752.htm), [xaydungchinhsach.chinhphu.vn](https://xaydungchinhs"
