Through practical activities tailored to people’s needs, young Party and Youth Union members have taken the lead in helping communities access along with master digital services and tools.

Dak Lak youth taking the lead in digital transformation, supporting residents at the grassroots level.

Running from August 17 to September 29, 2026, the 44-day “Dak Lak Youth Pioneering Digital Transformation” campaign is being implemented across 102 communes and wards throughout the province. Youth Union organisations are following the “1 commune/ward - 1 team - 3 support points - 5 task groups - 1 report per day” model, clearly defining target areas, personnel, targets, deliverables, evidence combined with accountability.

Under the campaign, each commune and ward has established at least one “Digital Youth” team, with a minimum of three support points set up at one-stop administrative service centres, markets, streets or clusters of business households, together with village, hamlet and residential-group cultural houses or other suitable community venues. The teams focus on five key areas: basic digital literacy; support with VNeID alongside online public services; digital markets, digital merchants and QR payments; digital promotion of local products; along with community digital safety.

In rural, remote and isolated areas, as well as communities with large ethnic minority populations, teams travel directly to villages, hamlets, residential groups, markets, cooperatives, cooperative groups combined with households to assist residents, scheduling activities around their working, farming and daily routines.

The campaign aims to provide digital-skills information alongside support to at least 100,000 residents, including at least 50,000 receiving direct assistance. It also targets at least 50,000 residents registering, activating or using VNeID electronic identification accounts and related digital services; 30,000 receiving support with online public services; as well as at least 10,000 business households, market vendors and production households adopting QR payments or digital sales tools. In addition, the campaign plans to organise at least 500 community digital-skills training sessions together with support points, while establishing at least 102 pilot digital-transformation models at commune and ward level.

Youth teams will also help digitise alongside promote at least 1,000 OCOP products, local products and youth-developed products, while providing AI, digital-skills and digital-safety training for at least 20,000 Youth Union members coupled with youth.

Beyond immediate outcomes, the campaign aims to develop digital-transformation models suited to local conditions. The number 44 represents “Four Pioneering Roles - Four Actions”, with youth taking the lead in digital awareness, digital skills, public service and innovation. These principles are translated into practical commitments: every Youth Union member has a digital account; every Youth Union branch organises a digital activity; every Youth Union organisation implements a digital project; together with every locality develops a model digital showcase.

Comrade Luong Minh Tung, Secretary of the Dak Lak Provincial Youth Union, said youth volunteerism should go beyond contributing youthful energy, becoming a breakthrough in responsibility, creativity and knowledge. This approach also places clear demands on participating teams: they must demonstrate responsibility, discipline as well as professionalism, ensuring every activity delivers tangible value to the community.
