The people are the creators of material goods and cultural and spiritual values, the decisive factor for the existence and social development. The people are the basic force of every social revolution. Evaluation of the position, role and strength of the people, from ancient times, our ancestors concluded: "the people as the root"; propelling the boat is by the people and flipping the boat is also by the people; boat flipped shows that people are like water. To promote the great power of the people, the feudal dynasties in Vietnam also used many means: "Drilling the people's strength to find firm, rooting strategies"; That is the top policy to hold the country together. Recognizing the position, role and strength of the people in history, our Party and President Ho Chi Minh always attach importance to and take care of public stimulation work, having made many revolutionary movements among the people to bring the Vietnamese revolution from one victory to another. Nowadays, the process of comprehensive reform, accelerating industrialization and modernization, building of a socialist rule-of-law state of the people, by the people and for the people, developing socialist-oriented market economy, international integration ... are gaining important achievements; but there are also many new issues that affect the thoughts and feelings of the people. Therefore, reinforcing and renewing the Party leadership on public stimulation activities in the new situation is to firmly strengthen people's confidence in the Party. Provinces in the Central Highlands, including Gia Lai, Kon Tum, Dak Lak, Dak Nong and Lam Dong, are strategically important areas especially for national defense, security, economy, culture, society and the ecological environment. In the past years, the provinces in the Central Highlands have also been acutely aware of the location and role of public stimulation; actively mobilizing and persuading the people to implement the Party's directions and resolutions as well as the State's policies and laws, stabilizing the people's life, bringing the country's economy to a good growth, building infrastructure for educational development, health care, hunger eradication, poverty reduction, phasing out old customs, etc; ensuring security and defense in the area. However, with the existing potential, advantages and the interests of the Party and State investment, the development of the Central Highlands provinces is not commensurate. The economy is unevenly developed, unsustainable, traditional cultural values are changing rapidly. The status of 4 political security, social order and safety is complicated by hostile forces inside and outside the country taking advantage of ethnicity, religion and temporary difficulties to incite the people and divide the great unity of ethnic groups in the Central Highlands. Meanwhile, some organizations still underestimated public stimulation; The Fatherland Front and people’s organizations have yet fully played the role in the fight to protect legitimate interests of the people. This situation is due to many reasons, first of all is the responsibility of different levels of Central Highlands political system, in which the main, direct role and responsibility from the shortcomings in leadership, direction of public stimulation of provincial Party committees in Central Highlands - as the political nucleus, is the highest local authority. Therefore, provincial Party committees in Central Highlands should be more strengthened and drastic in leading the propaganda, mobilization, persuading and gathering the people; must renovate more strongly the contents and methods of leading public stimulation by the provincial Party committees in the Central Highlands.
