26 July 2010 – In the last couple of weeks, hundreds of Vietnamese citizens from 44 provinces across Viet Nam have expressed their personal views of public administrative procedures through a unique online poll set up by VietNamNet and UNDP. The survey (at www.hienkecchc.vn) asks Vietnamese citizens to identify the best and the most annoying public administrative procedure and to provide recommendations for how these procedures can be simplified.

Part of the One UN Initiative

The One UN Initiative in Viet Nam is the United Nations response to the Government of Viet Nam’s call for a more effective UN in line with the global aid effectiveness agenda. Launched in early 2006, the One UN Initiative aims to make the UN in Viet Nam more effective by harmonising management and operational practices and procedures and working towards the convergence of UN activities under a common action plan with the Government. In this new environment, where UN funds and agencies work together to “deliver as one” to achieve better results for the people of Viet Nam, UNDP will increasingly focus on strategic policy advice and delivering its development assistance more effectively, guided by our principles of equity, protection of human rights and the achievement of equality between women and men.

UNDP in Viet Nam

UNDP has been in Viet Nam since 1977, when there was very limited donor and international presence. Since that time UNDP’s role in Viet Nam has evolved through the country’s many stages of transition, struggle and success since the end of the American Viet Nam war in 1975.

At UNDP Viet Nam we continue to provide critical support in the areas of Democratic Governance, Poverty Reduction, Crisis Prevention and Recovery, Energy and Environment and HIV and AIDS, while ensuring recent economic growth improves the living standards of all Vietnamese people. We work to encourage human rights and discourage increasing disparities based on gender, wealth, location, ethnicity, health and more.
