The current reforms in local government organization provide a significant opportunity to address bottlenecks in policy implementation, as provinces and cities can learn from the best practices of merged localities. The gap in experiences and perceptions among different population groups still exists, requiring local governments to focus on improving and ensuring inclusive governance.
At the same time, the experts recommend continuing the development of e-governance, digital governance, and simplifying administrative procedures to further reduce corruption, enhance transparency, and improve the effectiveness and accessibility of public services.
