By 2025, all ministries, ministerial-level agencies, Government agencies and People’s Committees of provinces and centrally-run cities will complete the organisational apparatus of specialised information technology units to accelerate tasks and solutions on digital transformation.

All organisations and individuals in the Digital Transformation Network will have access to and use digital platforms and unified toolkits nation-wide to serve State management and law enforcement on digital transformation.

By 2030, the Digital Transformation Network will be completed, operate effectively, be closely linked and coordinate synchronously in implementing tasks and solutions of the national digital transformation.

All staff performing digital transformation tasks from central to local levels will be trained annually to improve their capacity to meet State management and law enforcement requirements in accordance with their job title and position standards.

The tasks include strengthening the organisation of the State management and law enforcement apparatus; developing and disseminating nationally-unified digital platforms and toolkits, including trainings, project management, survey conduction, online measurement and monitoring, data connection and sharing, knowledge management, virtual assistant, network information security, advisory and consulting for digital transformation management boards from central to local-level governments. — VNS
