A standardized government service window was launched in Ningbo's Jiangbei district on Oct 13, according to local media reports.

A total of 14 individual affairs and 9 enterprise affairs now can be handled at the window, with more to be added in the future.

In recent years, Jiangbei has been actively exploring how to provide integrated government services, with the aim of modernizing its governance capability and constructing a transparent and service-oriented government.

Public satisfaction towards administrative approval services in Jiangbei has topped Ningbo four years in a row, according to a third-party report.

It has also ranked among the top three county-level cities nationwide in terms of government transparency for three consecutive years.

The high-quality government services have fueled local social and economic development. Official data show the district’s GDP (gross domestic product) has ranked first in Ningbo four years in a row.

On the same day, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences inaugurated a research organ in the district, which is designed to conduct research on government services and openness.
