Viet Nam

Our focus

Integrated development solutions driven by country priorities and UNDP’s new Strategic Plan

UNDP helps Viet Nam develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities, and build resilience to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Our current Country Programme Document (2022-2026) is directly aligned to Viet Nam’s priorities set out in the Socio - Economic Development Strategy and supports the Government to accelerate the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. The programme is guided by the UNDP Strategic Plan and enhanced by the three enablers: Strategic innovation, Digitalization, and Development financing.

Our work is concentrated in three focus areas:​​​​​​​

Shared Prosperity through Sustainable Economic Transformation

By 2026, people in Viet Nam, especially those at risk of being left behind, will contribute to, and benefit equitably from more sustainable, inclusive and gender-responsive economic transformation based on innovation, entrepreneurship, enhanced productivity, competitiveness, and decent work.

Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment

The promotion of gender equality and women’s empowerment is essential to UNDP’s development approach. At the global level, UNDP launched a new Strategic Plan (2022-2025) and a new Gender Equality Strategy (GES) (2022-2025). At Country Office (CO) level, the new Country Programme Document 2022-2025 was launched in early 2022. These three key strategic documents provide detailed guidance for Viet Nam CO on how to mainstream gender perspectives as they operationalize all aspects of UNDP’s Strategic Plan in Viet Nam.
