Abstract

The purpose of this article was to study general information on the transfer of social missions. Track progress and obstacles caused by the process of transferring and presenting guidelines for social missions in the future. It was found that social missions transferred to local government organizations have 11 government departments in 6 ministries and 15 missions. The reason why social missions have slowed down is because it is a sensitive mission that directly impacts on people's livelihoods. While using the operating principle of availability of volunteers, local government organizations have to pass assessment conditions with a large number of indicators. Therefore, I propose: 1) The central administration has changed its role to be a supporter and reducing the constraints on budget allocation for social missions. 2) In current local management, the executives can't perform independently, so they should reduce mission duplication between provincial administration and local administration. 3) Once the locals get authorities, they must have its own action plans to transfer each individual mission. In order to visualize the operation before the acceptance of mission transfer. 4) True fiscal independence will result in effective and timely management. And 5) To generate participation from the citizens, the business sector and civil society will help to promote sustainability in local development
