Summary

Vietnam has made encouraging progress in its efforts
to achieve the MDGs. With all the efforts to achieve the
national socio-economic development targets, including
the fulfillment of the MDGs, Vietnam has made some
remarkable achievements.

Vietnam’s challenges in the progress of
MDGs

 Quality of education and training
 Weak and uncompetitive private sector
GSO's responsibility to collect the MDGs
Vietnam’s General Statistics Office takes responsibility for
collecting,
processing
and
accounting
socio-economic
development indicator including MDG indicators.




MDG indicators are calculated and integrated from data of
census; Sample survey; subject-matter survey from reports and
data of ministries.
Data collected, integrated and disclosed by the GSO are given
priority.
Due to the inadequate of GSO’s data, those prepared by
ministries, sectors and other agencies to send to GSO have been
used instead,
The GSO also requests the ministries, agencies and localities to
provide further data which are also checked carefully before
dissemination.
GSO is assigned to compile 20 out of 75 MDGs indicators of
Vietnam
Province’s responsibility to collect the MDGs
Decion No.1755/QD-TTg of Prime Ministry indicates
clearly that:
 Provical level MDGs indicators are assigned each
province which has responsibility to collect, calculate
and integrate them.
 Mid-term evaluation report
 When plan period finishes, each province has to
make a report to assessing plan implementation
including MDGs report.
 MDGs report takes a part of socio-economic report
of province.
The difficulties in compilation of
development indicators for MDG & SDGs
• In order to have a data set which reflect the
implementation of this indicators, it is necessary to
collect data from different ministries/agencies. There is
no available database that contains all desired
information, and even a survey or investigation is need
for collecting specific information
• It is inadequate that health data is collected from
provincial administrative reports. These data are
gathered from health care establishments managed by
the State, thus, they miss relatively large cases of people
who are unable to access State healthcare services.
The difficulties in compilation of development
indicators for MDGs & SDGs (Cont.)
• Environment statistics: This is an important item in SDGs.
Collecting
data
of
environment statistics need high
technology and costs. The environmental legal system has
not fully met the requirements of the fast changing socioeconomic issues. Government investment in environment
is still small in comparison with the required capital.
• GSO depends on ministries and agencies to collect database
of MDGs
• Up to now, data of almost SDGs indicators is not available,
we will collect and calculate by beginning of 2015.
