To loosen the ties and reduce the burden on village-level organizations and village cadres, and continuously improve the level of rural grassroots governance
Reduce burden and promote responsibility
Reduce the burden of village-level organization work, streamline village-level work mechanisms and brands, and improve the work of village-level organizations to issue certificates... Recently, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council issued the "Regulation of Village-level Organization Work Affairs, Mechanism Brands and Certificates" "Opinions on Matters" (hereinafter referred to as "Opinions"), which aims to further free village-level organizations and village cadres from the shackles of formalism, continuously improve the level of rural grassroots governance, and provide a more solid organizational guarantee for the comprehensive promotion of rural revitalization.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has deepened the rectification of formalism and bureaucratic stubborn diseases, established a normalized mechanism for reducing the burden on the grassroots level, and stimulated the enthusiasm of grassroots party members and cadres to start businesses.
From making great efforts to solve the problems of formalism and bureaucracy, to demanding that cadres be freed from some useless affairs and let grass-roots cadres go into battle lightly, through unremitting efforts, the party and government style has been completely renewed, and the social and folk customs have continued to improve.
The implementation of the rural revitalization strategy ultimately relies on rural grass-roots party organizations to implement it.
How can the "Opinions" further reduce the burden on rural grassroots organizations?
How can the discipline inspection and supervision organs, based on their functions and responsibilities, accurately supervise the accountability of discipline enforcement, and help grass-roots cadres get rid of the constraints and "play lightly"?
Reduce the burden, simplify the mechanism, reduce the brand, deepen and expand the results of the grass-roots burden reduction work, and free village-level organizations and village cadres from the shackles of formalism
Zhang Futang is the deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Minquan Village, Wutongqiao District, Leshan City, Sichuan Province.
Being at the grassroots level, he still remembers the "many brands" that year: 89 on the wall system, 7 house numbers, and 19 district-level departments.
2019 is the "year of reducing the burden on the grassroots" determined by the Party Central Committee.
Zhang Futang said bluntly, "Since then, the changes have become more and more obvious."
Wutongqiao District carried out the rectification of "system on the wall" and "one room with multiple cards". A total of 115 internal institutions and villages (communities) were re-listed in the whole district, and 108 idle WeChat and QQ groups were cleared, which further released the vitality of the grassroots.
"With less form and higher efficiency, more energy can be spent on the 'blade' of entrepreneurship!" Zhang Futang said.
Changes don't just happen in Wutongqiao District.
In the past three years, the Party Central Committee has issued a series of deployments to reduce the burden on grass-roots cadres, and various regions and departments have made practical and tough moves, releasing a clear signal, solving some stubborn diseases, and stopping some unhealthy trends.
Zhangye City, Gansu Province continued to clean up and standardize the integration of various government APPs and WeChat groups, and said no to the abuse of score rankings and excessive emphasis on leaving marks; Chongqing City built a grass-roots smart governance platform to form "one-time collection, multi-use" of data, and improve the street level. The work efficiency of towns and communities has been reduced by about 1/3; Guizhou Province has issued new regulations, requiring the number of provincial-level documents to be reduced by more than 30%, and policy documents and comprehensive reports should not exceed 5,000 words in principle... Innovations for reducing the burden on the grassroots The exploration is constantly enriched, which has aroused the attention and praise of grass-roots cadres and the masses.
"Continuing to focus on the problem of reducing the burden on the grassroots level reflects the importance the central government attaches to the issue of formalism." said Tian Kun, deputy director of the Party Building and Party History Research Office of the Institute of Marxism, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. This also illustrates the comparison of formalism from another aspect. Complex, persistent and repetitive.
"A thousand threads above, a needle below."
The "Opinions" issued this time deepened and expanded the results of grassroots burden reduction work, freed village-level organizations and village cadres from the shackles of formalism, and freed up grassroots cadres to do more good things for the villagers.
The "Opinions" have clear goals and clear directions, and stipulate the responsibilities of village-level organizations in terms of responsibility list and negative list.
In the list of responsibilities, the detailed responsibilities of village-level organizations in terms of work affairs, working mechanism, and issuance of certificates are clearly stipulated; in the negative list, it is clearly required that organizations at all levels shall not require village-level organizations to undertake administrative law enforcement, demolition and demolition violations, investment promotion, etc. Investment, safety production and other affairs.
"One-stop" service, "reduction of certificates and convenience for the people"... The results of reducing the burden will benefit the masses, and the villagers will have a sense of happiness
Village-level organizations are the bridge between the party and the government to connect with the villagers.
The actual effect of loosening the burden on village-level organizations and village cadres must be seen and felt by the masses in the final analysis.
For Zheng, a villager in Lvgang Village, Kongwan Town, Yicheng City, Hubei Province, getting the real estate ownership certificate for his house is the most recent happy event.
What made him even more comfortable was that "the procedure for obtaining the certificate was not as troublesome as he thought."
Applying for a real estate certificate was once a "big project", and the villagers had to apply to the village committee for a series of certification materials such as population information, identity information, and house area.
In order to verify the information, village cadres often have to go to the household to check and visit the parties many times before issuing the certificate, which not only consumes a lot of work time and energy, but also has the risk of inaccurate certificate content.
Issuing certification materials is one of the tasks of the village committees and other grass-roots organizations, but for some time, some cumbersome, unnecessary and even "exotic" certification items have not only tired the masses, but also made the village cadres at a loss.
In the "Opinions", "improving the certification work of village-level organizations" is listed as one of the main tasks, requiring continuous implementation of "certification reduction and convenience for the people", and determining the certification items issued by village-level organizations in accordance with laws and regulations.
The masses run less errands and data run more errands.
Many places have worked hard to improve the sharing of data resources in the field of grassroots governance, and adopted methods such as online verification to minimize the number of certification items issued by village-level organizations.
Since October last year, Yicheng has integrated various planning data such as land, forestry, water conservancy, and roads, and various planning information on land and space in the city has been exchanged and shared.
When the masses apply for the real estate certificate, they only need to take the household registration book to the town's convenience service hall, and query the database of the real estate registration system to find the parcel unit number. The planning area and building area are clear at a glance.
This year, Yicheng City issued the "Continuous Rectification Formalism to Reduce the Burden of the Grassroots", which involved 18 key rectification tasks, including strictly regulating the work of village (community) issuance of certification.
After sorting out, the certification items that the village-level organizations in the city need to undertake have been further reduced from 54 items to 16 items.
"Reducing the burden" does not reduce services. In the normalization of grass-roots burden reduction, the level of rural grass-roots governance has been steadily improved.
The "Opinions" require that village-level organizations and working mechanisms be integrated.
In principle, all public service matters that can be undertaken by village-level organizations for the villagers and the masses are provided in comprehensive service facilities, and a "one-stop" service and "one-stop" process are implemented.
Since last year, the reform of "subsidy for the disabled" has been launched in Changshu City, Jiangsu Province.
The "Disabled Persons' Subsidy One Matter" service mainly covers 7 business matters in 5 departments, including the nursing subsidy for the severely handicapped and the living allowance for the handicapped in difficulties. Based on the handling of the disability certificate, the relevant business is integrated into a single "Changshu" Municipal Disabled Persons Subsidy "One Thing" Joint Office Application Form".
After the disabled person receives the disability certificate, family members only need to go to the comprehensive window of the convenience service center of each village (community) to apply for the relevant subsidy business, and those with special difficulties can also apply for door-to-door service.
After reviewing the application materials, the village-level window staff will guide you to fill in the "One Matter" joint application form, and then transfer the materials to the town-level department for approval and processing, and the subsidy will be directly printed on the applicant's card.
Originally, there were 20 applications for disability subsidies, but now it has been reduced to 7, and it only needs to be submitted once.
The town and village levels are responsible for their respective responsibilities, realizing the "one-time submission and multiple reuse" of application materials, simplifying procedures, improving efficiency, and reducing the workload of village cadres.
The business that originally required 5 departments and 7 links to handle, now only needs to go to the village (community) convenience service center once to complete the subsidy business in one link and one time.
Villagers are more convenient to do things, and their sense of gain and happiness will naturally increase.
"Reducing the burden is not about reducing the responsibility, but to let the village cadres jump out of the formalism and trivial matters, and devote their time to doing practical things for the people and seeking development for the revitalization of the countryside." Zhuang Deshui, deputy director of the Research Center for Integrity Construction at Peking University It seems that reducing the burden at the grassroots level should focus on the effectiveness of work and the feelings of the masses, and improve the quality while reducing the burden, so as to truly transform the results of the burden reduction into a real sense of gain, happiness, and security for the people.
Turn the effectiveness of reducing the workload into the driving force for entrepreneurship and responsibility, and continuously improve the level of rural grassroots governance
Resolutely put an end to problems such as simply setting up a mechanism and hanging a sign to arrange village-level organization tasks, filling out forms or providing materials to schedule village-level organization work, and verifying village-level organization performance with "whether or not to leave traces".
County-level party committees and governments should integrate the various forms required by village-level organizations to fill in and submit to the township and village-level organizations at the beginning of each year. The village-level organizational assessment and evaluation mechanism oriented to solve practical problems and satisfy the villagers reflects the central government's firm determination to improve grass-roots governance.
"In the past, it was too late just to reply to the information. I was afraid that the assessment and evaluation would be delayed if a material was not submitted in time. Now we can spare more time to do practical things for the masses." Secretary of the Party Branch of Lianghekou Village, Banqiaodian Town, Yicheng City Bao Xingfeng said.
Before the load reduction, Bao Xingfeng had 25 WeChat work groups on his mobile phone. The ding ding sounded all day long, and "please reply when you received it" was an inevitable requirement; now, only 2 work groups are reserved, and all work tasks are Monday. Checklist-style deployment, Friday item-style reporting, photo punching, and video leaving marks have become "the past tense".
In recent years, under the leadership of the village party branch, Lianghekou Village has taken the construction of clean and clean village houses as the starting point, implemented the rules and regulations such as "opening five affairs", "four lists and one process", and guided the party members and the masses to actively participate in grass-roots governance. The appearance of the village has undergone great changes: a new cultural square has been built at the head of the village, and the dilapidated sewage and rainwater pipes have been renovated, and the people's sense of gain, happiness and security have been greatly improved.
To rejuvenate the nation, the countryside must be rejuvenated.
The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made a major decision and deployment to implement the rural revitalization strategy.
The depth, breadth, and difficulty of the full implementation of the rural revitalization strategy are no less than that of poverty alleviation.
Strengthening the construction of rural grassroots organizations is not only a starting point for improving rural governance, but also an important guarantee.
This year's No. 1 Central Document emphasizes "improving rural governance by highlighting practical results" in the sixth part, and at the same time puts "strengthening the construction of rural grassroots organizations" in the first place.
The "Opinions" further clarified that village-level organizations include village party organizations, villager self-government organizations, village collective economic organizations, village affairs supervision organizations and other village-level economic and social organizations. An important force in the revitalization strategy.
At the same time, the "Opinions" emphasizes adhering to the party's overall leadership, and implementing the party's leadership in all aspects of the entire process of standardizing village-level organization work, mechanism branding, and certification matters.
Chen Fangliu, deputy dean of the School of Marxism of the Party School of Shanghai Municipal Committee, believes that the grassroots is the foundation of the party's governance and the source of its power. Theoretical arming of cadres can effectively improve the organizational, creativity, cohesion, and combat effectiveness of rural grass-roots party organizations, and provide organizational guarantees for rural revitalization.
Accurate supervision and efforts will help reduce burden and increase efficiency, and provide a solid guarantee for the comprehensive promotion of rural revitalization
"This incident is a wake-up call, reminding you to strengthen your sense of responsibility in the future, handle various tasks in a timely manner, and not increase the burden on the grassroots." Not long ago, the secretary of the Party Working Committee of a certain street in Haicang District, Xiamen City, Fujian Province was in charge of the street in the office. The relevant work leader Xu made a conversation reminder.
In June of this year, when analyzing and judging the materials provided by the grass-roots burden reduction monitoring points, the staff of the Party and Political Style Supervision Office of the Haicang District Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision found that when the sub-district was implementing the district-level related work, there were layers of shortening the submission time. question.
After investigation, it was found that the sub-district did not arrange the work in time after receiving the district-level work task, resulting in the original 24-day submission time being reduced to 7 days, which increased the work burden on the grassroots.
The Haicang District Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision consolidates the main responsibility of the street party working committee, and requires the main person in charge of the street to talk to the leaders in charge, and urge them to face up to the problem and improve their work style.
Since last year, the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of Haicang District has focused on the work of loosening and reducing the burden on the grassroots, and has set up monitoring points for reducing the burden at the grassroots level in the villages under its jurisdiction as work "outposts". and participation in the meeting to analyze and judge and check the problem backwards, to avoid formalism and bureaucracy.
This year, the Haicang District Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision continued to deepen the work mechanism of “Monitoring every month”, updating 4 villages every quarter as monitoring points for reducing the burden on the grassroots level, focusing on different monitoring themes according to the time node, such as focusing on the grassroots half-yearly summary materials in June this year, etc. Reporting situation, directional monitoring and investigating and dealing with problems such as layer-by-layer coding and false style of writing.
Since this work was carried out in June last year, the District Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision has found 3 clues of suspected problems, issued 5 rectification and supervision orders, talked to remind 3 people, and criticized and educated 1 person.
Disciplinary inspection and supervision organs at all levels, based on their functions and responsibilities, pay close attention to the prominent formalism problems that plague the grassroots, strengthen supervision and inspection, and consolidate and expand the effect of reducing the burden on the grassroots.
The Jiaozhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of Shandong Province urged relevant functional departments such as the Municipal Administrative Approval Service Bureau to start from the aspects of institutional mechanisms and hardware facilities to ensure that "one-stop" services and "one-stop" procedures are effective.
Jiaozhou City has set up a "failure to do" reflection window in the administrative convenience service centers at the city and town (street) levels. The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision has arranged for staff to supervise at the site, track the business processing of the window on the spot, and focus on the failure of the approval of service matters. For problems such as not being able to do it well, not doing it quickly, and running errands too much, urge the staff of the window unit to improve their work style and improve their work efficiency.
Use digital means to help reduce the burden on the grassroots.
The Yiwu Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision of Zhejiang Province has deepened the digital reform of grassroots supervision, and promoted the development of the "Village Affairs Incorruptibility Nail Office", a grassroots public power big data supervision application platform that integrates village-level affairs office, supervision, disclosure and governance.
"In the past, we needed to spend a lot of time collecting and statistical reports to understand the village affairs and the performance of village cadres in each village, and we also had to check a lot of ledgers when we went to check. With the digital cockpit, you can clearly see the entire process of handling each village-level affair, and the performance of village cadres is clear at a glance." Feng Weiyi, secretary of the Disciplinary Committee of Dachen Town, Yiwu City, said that after the application of "clean and clean village affairs", the affairs were handled. The process is more standard and standardized, and village-level matters are handled openly, effectively standardizing the operation of grassroots public power, consolidating the responsibilities of managers, avoiding black box operations, selective implementation, power rent-seeking and other problems, so that the masses can be more assured .
