Details indicators of SDGs

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.

GSO disseminates the National Statistics Indicator

System (NSIS), in which development indicators are

mainstreamed.

MDGs are mainstreamed into the Socio-economic

development plan.

The Prime Minister issued Decision No.1755/QD-TTg

on the principle and duty to report on the

implementation of the MDGs in Vietnam.

GSO has disseminated the database of development

indicators on Website “data.un.org/Countrydata”

Summary

Vietnam’s challenges in the progress of

MDGs

The economic slowdown,

Macroeconomic instability,

Climate change,

Inequality in living standard,

Quality of education and training

Weak and uncompetitive private sector

GSO's responsibility to collect the MDGsVietnam’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 socio-

economic 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.

Result of progress of MDGs• MDG 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger: Achievement

• MDG 2: Achieve universal primary education: Achievement

• MDG 3: Promote Gender Equality and Women Empowerment:

Achievement in many targets

• MDG 4: Reduce child mortality: Attainable

above the target of 14.8‰ by 2015.

• MDG 5: Improve maternal health: Attainable

Maternal mortality has decreased by more than 70 percentage points during

1990-2012 to 64/100,000 live births in 2012.

• MDG 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis and other diseases

Difficult to obtain

In 2011, Vietnam has well achieved the target of controlling malaria and

tuberculosis.

• MDG 7: Ensure environmental sustainability: Difficult to obtain

Vietnam has to go a long way to reach 2015 targets.

• MDG 8: Develop a global partnership for development

Achieved in some targets
