The Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee has issued the Digital Architecture Framework, establishing a unified foundation for comprehensive digital transformation through 2030. The framework is designed to align with the city's two-tier local government model and major national strategic orientations.
The Digital Architecture Framework was developed in strict compliance with resolutions from the Politburo, the National Assembly, and the Government, as well as new legislation regarding electronic transactions, data, and cybersecurity. It also ensures synchronicity with the National Digital Architecture Framework, the National Data Architecture Framework, and the digital interconnectivity model within the political system.
According to the City People’s Committee, the framework serves as a guiding document for development plans and the digital transformation roadmap to 2030. It aims to build a modern, comprehensive, and data-centric management system that serves citizens and businesses while enhancing administrative efficiency.
The framework is now a mandatory basis for the formulation, appraisal, and approval of strategies, programs, projects, investment plans, and the procurement of IT services and digital transformation initiatives funded by the state budget within the city.
The city's Digital Architecture Framework is structured into four distinct layers: Shared digital infrastructure and cybersecurity; Data and core platforms: Shared applications and operations: Interaction channels and performance measurement.
This structure allows local departments, agencies, authorities, and related units to clearly define their roles and responsibilities. It is expected to ensure synchronized digital transformation, prevent duplicate investments, and enhance system integration and interconnectivity.
The framework establishes seven core principles, emphasizing result-based governance and real-time data-driven leadership. A key highlight is the shift toward smart operations with an "AI-First" priority.
Furthermore, the framework promotes decentralization and the delegation of authority via digital platforms, maintains a citizen-and-business-centric approach, and ensures rigorous information security and cybersecurity. It also focuses on fostering open data, transparency, and innovation to drive the city's future growth.
