DDCI is a derivative index of PCI. It is developed and implemented to assess departments, sectors, and districts. DDCI is based on the main principles of PCI and empowers the private sector to evaluate relevant agencies in the public sector to facilitate local business investment. It allows businesses to voice their concerns about the local business environment. Based on this feedback, agencies can promptly adjust their operational strategies, targeted interventions, and the person directly in charge of activities related to supporting businesses at the unit. According to Can Tho City Institute for Socio-Economic Development Studies, Can Tho City has consistently focused on improving the investment and business environment in recent years. This is evidenced by the ongoing implementation of the “Survey and Evaluation of District and Department Competitiveness Index (DDCI) of Can Tho City” projects in 2022 and 2023. The latest assessment results have highlighted both the advantages and limitations. They have also shown a change in awareness and proactive actions from the heads of departments, agencies, and sectors. In 2024, the city will continue to maintain the evaluation and continually improve the DDCI index. This will contribute to promoting strong and synchronized reforms aimed at improving the quality of management and creating a favorable environment for investment, production, and business activities in all fields. |
