The draft Law on Urban Development, recently submitted to the National Assembly on August 7, proposes leveraging social resources to aid administrative tasks. Article 9 highlights that integrating capable organizations and individuals can alleviate the administrative burden and make services more convenient for citizens and businesses.
This mobilization of social resources does not modify state authority or transfer management to non-state entities, ensuring clear boundaries between public and private roles. The draft outlines specific tasks such as preparing dossiers, handling declarations, and digitally archiving documents that can be supported by societal participation.
Pilot programs in sectors like land management and taxation could be evaluated for efficiency. The draft emphasizes strict data security, restricting non-state organizations to assigned tasks and ensuring strict monitoring of data processes. A pricing framework and preferential policies will support the implementation, with the People’s Council responsible for setting standards and providing necessary resources.
