Effective governance： the action concept of democratic technological innovation empowering rural governance modernization

　　[Editor’s note]After the overall victory in poverty alleviation, promoting the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas is a historic shift in the focus of the party’s work on agriculture, rural areas and farmers. The Opinions on Realizing the Effective Connection between Consolidating and Expanding the Achievements of Poverty Alleviation and Rural Revitalization issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council clearly stated: "On the basis of consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation, we should do a good job in rural revitalization and continue to promote the development of poverty-stricken areas and the improvement of people’s lives." Realizing the overall revitalization of rural areas is a systematic project, in which effective governance is the foundation and plays a decisive role. Democratic technological innovation endows rural governance with more governance energy and improves the ability and efficiency of rural grassroots social governance through innovation and perfection in subject, organization, system, technology and culture. From the specific practical approach, democratic technological innovation should focus on the development direction of ideas and establish the service concept, power concept, value concept and action concept of grassroots democratic technological innovation. In the new era of endeavor, how to construct the concept mechanism of effective integration of democratic technological innovation and rural governance and promote the effective realization of rural governance modernization. To this end, China Theory Network has specially launched an interpretation book abstract for readers.

　　Effective governance is an important weight for democratic technological innovation to empower rural revitalization. Effective, that is, democratic technological innovation is required to be applied to rural governance, which can achieve the goals and requirements of rural governance modernization and produce certain governance efficiency. The efficiency of rural governance is the advantage of the correctness and effect of the purpose and means of rural governance behavior, which is directly manifested in the specific governance performance. From the content, the performance of rural governance includes two aspects: the realistic index of efficiency and benefit, and the potential index of efficiency and benefit improvement. It can reflect the degree of achieving the maximum output, the predetermined goal or the best public service. Grass-roots governance efficiency is the core institutional arrangement related to the governance level and operational efficiency of the government, grass-roots party organizations and other governance subjects. Its function lies in guiding the transformation of governance concepts of the government and grass-roots party organizations, promoting the reform of grass-roots governance means and methods, further promoting the efficiency of governance subjects, and enhancing the authority and credibility of villagers to the government and grass-roots party organizations. The efficiency value of grass-roots governance needs to overcome the simple investigation of government behavior from the economic point of view, blindly pursue the maximization of governance effectiveness, and pay more attention to the high efficiency based on the correct macro-level strategy, including the value pursuit and value goal orientation of "democracy and rule of law", "fairness and justice" and "people-oriented value". In the course of the development of grass-roots governance theory, the value concept of blindly pursuing efficiency priority once became one of the leading values of grass-roots governance in China.With the change of the goal of grass-roots governance in China, the governance values such as public interest, service-oriented government and public participation rise, making "efficiency value" one of the governance evaluation standards that cannot be ignored in modern grass-roots governance. To promote the modernization of rural grass-roots governance capacity and governance system, it is necessary to gradually improve the efficiency of grass-roots governance, comprehensively improve the work efficiency of the government and grass-roots party organizations, and take "efficiency value" as the governance value pursued by governance modernization, which is the inevitable trend of rural governance modernization in China.

　　The direct purpose of democratic technological innovation is to protect the democratic rights and interests of governance and improve the efficiency and effect of technology application in practice. Therefore, in the process of promoting the efficiency reform of rural governance, democratic technological innovation should always take the realization of the value of the villagers as the starting point and the end result, and take the masses as the only measure and standard for evaluating the efficiency value.

　　First, formulate a three-dimensional, pluralistic and scientific evaluation standard for the effectiveness of grassroots governance.. Through comprehensive consideration of public evaluation, expert evaluation and self-evaluation, the evaluation criteria of different types of institutions are distinguished, and the importance of reform results and reform process is balanced. At the same time, actively attach importance to the survey of people’s satisfaction, build a perfect evaluation system of people’s satisfaction, and establish a result-oriented performance evaluation mechanism of grassroots governance. Construct the evaluation standard of grass-roots governance service based on user satisfaction. Actively collect and respond to people’s opinions through various means of communication, and summarize and summarize them in time. At the same time, strengthen the quantitative and qualitative analysis of evaluation standards for grassroots governance services, and build scientific, complete, practical and easy-to-operate evaluation standards to ensure the improvement of service level, service quality and service effect. 　　Second, the essence of governance effectiveness evaluation is to urge administrative organizations to better serve the people and build a service-oriented government and service-oriented grass-roots party organizations.. To promote the modernization of the rural governance system and governance capacity, the main body of implementation is the party and government organs at all levels, and the cadres and government workers are concrete practitioners and promoters. In the process of promoting the modernization of governance and optimizing grassroots governance, we must always uphold the ruling philosophy of building the party for the public and governing for the people, always adhere to the construction of work style, and strive to greatly improve the efficiency of social governance with the great transformation of cadres’ work style. Practice the ruling thought of building the party for the public and governing for the people. As a grass-roots governance institution, we should actively and comprehensively understand the interests and needs of the grass-roots people, and consciously put the people-centered development thought through the whole process of governance modernization and social governance. When it comes to specific daily work, we should be good at determining objectives and tasks from the actual needs of the masses, evaluating work performance with the satisfaction rate of the masses as the standard, and truly solving the pain points of most people. 　　Third, with the help of democratic technical means such as information technology, we will strengthen the precise management of grassroots governance performance.. With the development of Internet, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other technologies, the innovation of democratic technology has greater development space and motivation, and it also makes it possible to accurately evaluate the performance of grassroots governance. The efficiency value of grass-roots governance promotes the traditional grass-roots governance model and mechanism to break through the inherent value concept framework and transform into a modern grass-roots governance value system. First of all, promote the spread and development of the value concept of multi-subject and collaborative governance in grassroots society. Grass-roots governance organizations rely on highly developed information platforms, and through the integration mechanism, sharing mechanism, authorization mechanism and coordination mechanism of internal functional departments, break the barriers of departmental cooperation brought about by the traditional functional division of administrative departments, promote the integration of governance models and governance mechanisms at the value level, and thus improve the efficiency of public administration. Secondly, change the governance value of grass-roots governance organizations, establish people-centered grass-roots governance concepts, and promote the combination of values such as democracy, openness and transparency with information technology means. Use big data to promote the protection and improvement of people’s livelihood, adhere to the people-centered development thinking, let the people run less errands and run more data, continuously improve the level of equalization, generalization and convenience of public services, strengthen people’s livelihood services, make up for the shortcomings of people’s livelihood, and build a service-oriented, democratic and rule-based grassroots autonomous organization. Finally, build the governance value concept that the efficiency, effectiveness and effect of grassroots social governance go hand in hand. Using information technology to improve the response speed and efficiency of grass-roots autonomous organizations; Through data analysis and operation, various resources are regulated,Strive to use the best and least resources to solve as many grass-roots social public affairs as possible; At the same time, the quantitative index system is used to evaluate the modernization effect, governance efficiency and governance effectiveness of grass-roots governance. In the process of grassroots governance efficiency reform, the internal governance system of grassroots governance organizations is continuously adjusted, reformed and reorganized, and a brand-new governance mechanism and service model are built by relying on big data. Comprehensively integrate the internal functions, powers and responsibilities of grass-roots governance organizations, strengthen the construction of platforms such as comprehensive governance of grass-roots public affairs, efficient law enforcement and convenient service, build a service-oriented government and an open government, and build a simple, ethical, responsible, responsive and transparent grass-roots governance model and governance organization, so as to improve the efficiency of grass-roots governance and force the grass-roots social governance system and governance capacity to develop to a modern level.
