Principles of Piloting the Granting of Higher-level Authority to Grassroots Party Committees

The implementation of piloting the granting of higher-level authority to grassroots Party committees must comply with the principles stipulated in Article 2 of Regulation 113-QD/TW, 2023. Specifically:

- The pilot granting of higher-level authority to grassroots Party committees, where the direct superior is not a provincial Party committee, municipal Party committee, or a Party committee under the Central level, must adhere to Communist Party policies and regulations; be rigorous, prudent, and only implemented in truly necessary Party committees.

- Annually, the subordinate Central Party committees and immediate superior Party committees must regularly inspect and supervise. If it is found that the grassroots Party committee piloted with higher-level authority does not perform the assigned tasks well according to regulations, then the provincial Party committee, municipal Party committee, or Central subordinate Party committee shall consider and revoke the decision, after obtaining consensual opinion from the Central Organizing Committee.

- The immediate superior Party committee must create conditions for the grassroots Party committee piloted with higher-level authority to effectively and appropriately exercise the granted powers; ensure the leadership role of the Party committee and Party organization in performing political tasks and Communist Party building work, meeting the task requirements of localities, agencies, and units.

Regulation 113-QD/TW takes effect from the date of signing.
