Full text linkDecentralization is the process of transferring decision-making power, authority and responsibility from the central government to regional governments or local entities. The process aims to bring government closer to the people, with the hope of improving the efficiency, accountability and responsiveness of public services to the specific needs of local communities. Decentralization is often regarded as a strategy to optimize resources, strengthen local democracy, and encourage active community participation in the policy-making process and its implementation. This study uses the literature research method. The results show that decentralization tends to improve the effectiveness and relevance of public services by empowering local governments to manage the specific needs of local communities. It creates a platform for wider public participation and increased government accountability and transparency. However, the findings also confirm that the negative elements of decentralization cannot be ignored. In particular, decentralization can result in inequalities in services between regions due to differences in resources, as well as pose policy coordination challenges. Lack of local capacity and the potential for increased corruption are significant obstacles to optimizing the benefits of decentralization

Full text linkThis paper explores the development of faculty teams in agriculture, forestry, and aquaculture in Vietnamese colleges by applying competency-based education. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study evaluates the competencies of 124 faculty members from eight institutions, focusing on their academic qualifications, teaching skills, technological proficiency, and research involvement. The findings highlight strengths in academic preparation but reveal significant gaps in the use of technology, research engagement, and collaboration with industry partners. These gaps emphasize the need for comprehensive faculty development strategies to align education with labor market demands. Key solutions proposed include establishing a competency framework specific to agriculture, forestry, and aquaculture education to guide curriculum and professional development. The study also recommends strategic workforce planning based on competencies to ensure the optimal distribution of teaching expertise. Furthermore, competency-based recruitment and utilization practices will help institutions select faculty best suited for teaching and research roles. Continuous training and professional development programs aligned with this framework are necessary to help faculty integrate new technologies and teaching methods. The study emphasizes the importance of performance evaluation systems to monitor and support faculty progress and institutional policies that foster a motivating and supportive work environment.
