The MDGs and Viet Nam's Socio-Economic Development Plan 2006-2010
Author: United Nations Country Team Viet Nam
Published Date: 2005-11-01
Summary:

The aim of this report is to consider the national objectives from the perspective of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and to suggest concrete indicators of social progress relevant to both the MDGs and Viet Nam’s specific socio-economic conditions. This publication was written to help policymakers fully integrate the MDGs into Viet Nam’s own national planning mechanisms.

In September 2000, the world’s leaders resolved to achieve eight MDGs by 2015 at the Millennium Summit, the largest ever gathering of world leaders. Five years on in 2005, the world met again, this time in New York at the Millennium Plus Five Summit to assess progress towards the MDGs. The Government of Viet Nam prepared and presented a National MDG Report for presentation at the Summit detailing the country’s achievements since 2000 and remaining challenges to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by 2015. The list of achievements is impressive, but the report also made clear that Viet Nam still faces important development challenges.

The purpose of this document is to propose additional and refined social targets and indicators derived from the MDGs and adapted to specific conditions in Viet Nam to support the Government’s socio-economic development planning efforts.
