Since the beginning of this year, under the correct leadership of the Municipal Party Committee and the municipal government and the careful guidance of the provincial and municipal organizations, we have always regarded the reform of government institutions as the institutional guarantee for promoting economic and social development, adhered to the guidance of Scientific Outlook on Development, fully implemented the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, focused on transforming government functions and optimizing organizational structure, focused on improving the government responsibility system, and aimed at building a legal government, a responsible government, a service government and a clean government. Constantly strengthen leadership, innovate ideas, refine measures and pay close attention to implementation. The reform of government institutions has achieved remarkable results and provided strong support for the county's economic and social development.

I. Basic information

In July 2009, the provincial party committee and the provincial government issued the Opinions on the Institutional Reform of Municipal and County Governments (Provincial Party Committee [2009]16), and held a video conference to make overall arrangements for the institutional reform of the government. After that, the county party Committee and the county government attached great importance to it, started it quickly and launched it in an all-round way. By February this year, the institutional reform of Zhengning county government was basically completed. The specific work is divided into three stages: first, the research preparation stage. According to the overall arrangement of the city, the county organized special forces to conduct preliminary research and listen to opinions and suggestions from all walks of life on the reform of government institutions. The second is the formulation stage. On the basis of previous investigation, this paper puts forward a preliminary plan for the reform of county-level government institutions. After being reported to the city, it was examined and approved by the county editorial board, the county government executive meeting and the county party committee standing committee meeting, and reported to the municipal party committee and municipal government for approval. The third is the stage of organization and implementation. After our county's institutional reform plan was approved by the municipal party committee and municipal government, our county formulated and issued the "Opinions on the Implementation of Institutional Reform of Zhengning County People's Government". On June 26th this year 10, the county party committee and county government held a county-wide mobilization meeting to make arrangements for the reform of government institutions. After the meeting, all departments acted quickly and completed the formulation and convergence of the "three definitions" as scheduled. The County Editorial Board Office carefully reviewed the "three definitions" formulated by various departments and submitted them to the county editorial board meeting, the county government executive meeting and the county party committee standing committee meeting for approval. At present, the "three decisions" regulations of various departments and the "nine decisions" plan of institutions involved in reform have all been approved, and the documents issued by the county party Committee office and the government office have been implemented.

Second, the main practices

(1) Strengthen leadership and conscientiously implement the spirit of provincial and municipal meetings. The county party committee and the county government attached great importance to the reform of government institutions, and successively held meetings of the Standing Committee of the county party committee, the executive meeting of the county government and the meeting of the county editorial board, which made careful arrangements for the reform of government institutions and made clear the direction, basic ideas and principles of the reform. All departments are required to conscientiously implement the spirit of provincial and municipal conferences in combination with the actual situation of the county, carefully organize, clarify the division of labor, strengthen responsibilities, take the reform of government institutions as the top priority of their own departments, focus on overall leadership, focus on specific leaders in charge, organize special personnel, strengthen their strength, and earnestly grasp the implementation of institutional reforms in their own departments to ensure the smooth progress of the reforms.

(two) in-depth research, scientific formulation of institutional reform program. According to the overall arrangement of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, we have taken practical measures and made careful arrangements for the institutional reform of the county government. First, study hard and prepare in advance. On the one hand, we should actively study the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the provincial and municipal institutional reform documents, and deeply understand the great significance of deepening the reform of the administrative management system and government institutions under the new situation. On the other hand, carefully study the institutional setup, functional allocation and operation of county-level government departments, and put forward the overall thinking and preliminary countermeasures for deepening the reform of government institutions. The second is to conduct extensive research and improve the plan. The county party committee and government organized special forces, held symposiums, listened to the opinions and suggestions of department leaders, employees and all walks of life, made timely summary and analysis, and formed a special investigation report. On this basis, the preliminary plan of county government institutional reform is drawn up, repeatedly demonstrated and constantly improved to meet the requirements of provinces and cities and reflect the reality of Zhengning.

(3) Grasp the key points and carefully formulate regulations. According to the requirements of provinces and cities, the county government should re-submit the "three-set" regulations and the "nine-set" plan regardless of the newly established departments, institutional adjustments or unadjusted departments. In the process of working out the plan of "Three Definitions" and "Nine Definitions", we adopted the method of "two ups and two downs" (all departments and units put forward the first drafts of "Three Definitions" and "Nine Definitions" and made a preliminary connection with the editorial office, and then the official documents were submitted to the editorial office for review, and the editorial office sent them to the main leaders of the department for signature and confirmation), which mainly emphasized five aspects: First, "Three Definitions" Third, the internal organs of the department are set according to the principle of simplification, unification and efficiency, and must match and coordinate with the responsibilities and tasks determined after the reform, try not to set them up and try to integrate them. Fourth, according to the county's "Implementation Opinions on the Unified Management of Institutions of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision", the institutions and institutions involved in reform were uniformly approved 1 discipline inspection and supervision personnel in the total staffing of the original department. Fifth, according to the requirements of subordinate management, centralized management and institution listing, the management relationship of various institutions has been straightened out.

(four) in accordance with the regulations, reasonably check the staffing of the department. According to the provisions of Article 24 of the Measures for the Administration of Organization Establishment in Gansu Province and the spirit of the Opinions on the Implementation of Institutional Reform of Zhengning County People's Government, the total number of leadership positions in various government departments is approved. If the administrative establishment of the department is less than 5 people, it shall be approved by 1-2; If the administrative establishment is below 10, it shall be approved according to 2-3; Administrative establishment in the following 20, according to 3-4 approved; If the administrative establishment exceeds 2 1, it shall be approved by 4-5; For listed departments (internal organs) and institutions, the establishment and leadership positions are no longer approved separately, and their related positions are concurrently held by the leaders of departments (internal organs). The staff establishment is approved according to 15% of the total administrative establishment of the department, and the number of leadership positions and the number of employees are basically reasonably matched.

(five) according to the policy, properly digest the overstaffed staff of this unit. In accordance with the overall spirit of government institutional reform, we have taken effective measures to properly arrange and gradually digest leading cadres who are overstaffed due to institutional adjustment. First, appropriately increase the number of leadership positions in the department after functional adjustment; Second, if the actual position cannot be arranged according to the original position, it will be changed to the chief clerk or deputy chief clerk, and the change of vacant positions is not limited by the proportion of vacant positions in the department; Third, the former team members who cannot be transferred can be temporarily retained and gradually digested within two years.

Third, the effect and experience

(1) New progress has been made in the transformation of government functions. Transforming government functions is the core of deepening the reform of administrative management system and government institutions. In practical work, whether it is the brewing research of the institutional reform plan or the drafting of the "three decisions" of the department, we all adhere to the guidance of Scientific Outlook on Development, take the effective transformation of government functions as the primary task, and speed up the separation of government enterprises, government funds, government and market intermediary organizations. Effectively transform government functions into economic regulation, market supervision, social management and public services, more effectively implement the central, provincial and municipal policies and laws and regulations, strengthen the overall coordination of the county's economic and social affairs, pay more attention to social management and public services, focus on solving people's livelihood problems, strengthen execution and law enforcement and supervision responsibilities, and enhance the ability to respond to public emergencies and comprehensive management of social security. In this reform, all departments * * * canceled 2 1 responsibilities, adjusted 28 responsibilities, and added and strengthened 56 responsibilities, which better reflected the requirements of promoting the transformation of government functions.

(2) The adjustment of departmental responsibilities has achieved new results. Straightening out relations, clarifying responsibilities and strengthening responsibilities are important tasks of government institutional reform, and are also inevitable requirements for transforming government functions and optimizing organizational structure. According to the principle that one thing belongs to one department, this reform has adjusted the responsibilities of relevant departments, changed the names of relevant institutions, and further rationalized the relationship between departments. The county transportation bureau has increased the responsibility of guiding urban public transportation and realized the integration of urban and rural management responsibilities; The County Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau has increased the management responsibilities of the county's real estate industry, and the County Bureau of Culture, Radio, Film and Television has increased the management responsibilities of the press and publication industry; Integrate the duties of the Science and Technology Bureau and the duties of the Education and Sports Administration of the Culture, Education and Sports Bureau into the County Education and Sports Bureau; The responsibilities of the Price Bureau and the Grain Bureau were assigned to the County Development and Reform Bureau as a whole, which effectively solved the problem of overlapping responsibilities and unsatisfactory relations between departments.

(3) organizational structure optimization has taken a new step. Optimizing the organizational structure is an objective requirement for rationally allocating government functions and improving government administrative efficiency. In this reform, according to the requirements of "within the institutional limit, to promote the reform of government institutions with the thinking of large-scale department, unified institutions need to be set up from top to bottom, and other institutions should be set up according to local conditions", the Economic and Trade Bureau, the Township Enterprise Bureau and the Commerce Bureau were integrated, and the Bureau of Industry and Information Technology was established to strengthen the overall management of departments; Incorporating the Environmental Protection Bureau and the Safety Supervision Bureau into government departments and adjusting the drug supervision and management from vertical management to government departments have strengthened the important position and role of environmental protection, safety supervision and food and drug supervision in social and economic development; Incorporating county institutions into the sequence of county committees strengthens the position of comprehensive management and coordinated service of institutional establishment. In accordance with the requirements of "institutional reform obeys and serves the work of the county party committee and the county government center, obeys and serves the overall situation of reform, development and stability", integrate the unified relationship of county culture, radio, film and television, and tourism departments, and integrate the responsibilities of county culture bureau, radio, film and television bureau and tourism bureau to form county culture, radio, film and television bureau; In view of the fact that our county is a big fruit county with outstanding industrial advantages and plays a very important role in economic development, the Forestry Bureau will be adjusted from a departmental management institution to a government work department. In addition, the names of relevant departments have been changed. Directly affiliated institutions, in accordance with the provisions of the provincial party committee and the provincial government that "there are no new institutions with administrative functions all over the country, and the existing directly affiliated institutions are merged and gradually reduced", the government education supervision office and the oil and coal office are adjusted from the directly affiliated institutions of the county government to the subordinate management units of the department. After the reform, the county government set up 23 working departments. It not only conforms to the spirit of higher-level reform, but also conforms to the reality of economic and social development in our county.

(4) Strict editorial control requirements have been effectively implemented. It is one of the important contents of government institutional reform to strictly control the institutional establishment and ensure that the total administrative establishment issued by the province after the reform does not break through. During the institutional reform of county government, the voice of increasing the establishment of various departments is generally high. In this regard, in accordance with the requirements of the central government, provinces and cities on strictly controlling the establishment of institutions, the county party Committee and government have repeatedly publicized policies to the departments, made good communication, and strived for the understanding and support of the departments. Under the premise of not exceeding the total amount of administrative establishment approved by the province, according to the changes of responsibilities of various departments, some departments with more functions and obviously heavier tasks in recent years have been appropriately adjusted, which not only solves the outstanding contradictions and problems accumulated by relevant departments for many years, but also adheres to the principle of strictly controlling institutional establishment.

(5) The level of administrative efficiency has been improved. Improving administrative efficiency and building a government that people are satisfied with is the main purpose of institutional reform, and it is also an important symbol to measure whether institutional reform can achieve results. The reform of county-level government institutions has been actively explored in many aspects. First, by clarifying the boundaries, scope and content of responsibilities of various departments, the sense of responsibility of departments has been enhanced, and the executive power and credibility of the government have been improved. Second, through the "three decisions" of the department, various rules and regulations have been further improved, the post target responsibility system within the department has been strengthened, the service awareness of various departments has been enhanced, and the service quality has been improved. Third, through the implementation of personnel posts and the optimization of personnel allocation, the awareness of competition, responsibility and service of departmental staff has been enhanced, and the efficiency of organs has been improved.

The main experiences of this government institutional reform are as follows: First, institutional reform should adapt to and serve the economic and social development and changes. Government agencies are an important part of the superstructure, which will be constantly reformed and improved with the development of economy and society. In the future, according to the development and changes of the situation and tasks, we should continue to deepen the reform, actively explore the large-scale department system with organically unified functions, establish and improve the mechanism of mutual restraint and coordination of decision-making, implementation and supervision, and gradually form an administrative management system that is compatible with Zhengning's economic and social development. Second, institutional reform should proceed from reality and adapt to local conditions. The reform of county-level government institutions, in accordance with the overall requirements of the province on the reform of city and county government institutions, based on reality, closely revolves around the requirements of our county to transform the mode of economic development, improve basic public services and improve public governance structure, integrates and improves economic and social management departments, and strengthens public service departments focusing on improving people's livelihood, which embodies the objective requirements of implementing Scientific Outlook on Development and promoting social harmony. Third, institutional reform should highlight the transformation of functions and promote social harmony. Changing functions, straightening out relations and strengthening responsibilities are the fundamental measures to improve administrative efficiency, reduce administrative costs and build a government that the people are satisfied with. This reform has firmly grasped this key point, done a lot of work and achieved remarkable results. Practice has proved that this practice is effective and should be a consistent and important principle in the reform of government institutions. Fourth, institutional reform should be closely combined with strengthening institutional staffing management. In this reform, our county has done a lot of work in strictly controlling the establishment of institutions, but the pressure of adding institutions and increasing the establishment still exists. If we relax a little, we will have new expansion. Therefore, after the reform, we should continue to take strict measures to strengthen and standardize the management of institutional establishment, establish and improve a long-term mechanism to control the growth of institutional establishment, and continuously consolidate the reform results.

In short, although the reform of government institutions in our county has achieved certain results, there are still some problems, such as the contradiction between the establishment and the actual personnel, the newly established government departments can not use the administrative establishment, and the problems left over by some institutions are difficult to solve. In the future, we will focus on two aspects in strict accordance with the overall requirements of the municipal party Committee and the municipal government: First, follow up and study the operation of the county government's institutional reform plan. Actively and deeply understand the implementation of the "three decisions" by various departments of the county government, study and analyze the existing problems, and take effective measures to implement the requirements of provinces and cities on the reform of government institutions. The second is to further strengthen the management of institutional establishment. Conscientiously implement the regulations on the management of institutional establishment, further improve the relevant systems of institutional establishment management, strictly control the establishment of administrative institutions, and maintain the relative stability of the "three decisions" regulations. At the same time, actively promote the real-name system management of institutional staffing, strengthen the supervision and inspection of institutional staffing, resolutely correct and deal with violations of institutional staffing management regulations, and effectively enhance the effectiveness and authority of institutional staffing management.
