The report “Research on policies and practices of state budget publicity and citizen participation in budget process” chaired by the Budget Transparency, Accountability and Participation Coalition (BTAP) has been completed with the implementation of the Viet Nam Center for Economic and Strategic Studies (VESS) and the Center for Development and Integration (CDI) under the financial support of UNDP Vietnam through the Viet Nam Provincial Governance and Public Administration Performance Index (PAPI) research program. The research aims to increase citizen participation and transparency in state budget planning and spending in Vietnam for efficient and peoplecentered public administration. The specific objective of the research is to review and compare good practices in the implementation of budget publicity at the provincial level (including sub-provincial observations in different provinces with various levels of transparency and publicity based on measurable indicators) and of citizen participation in planning and monitoring local state budgets in Vietnam, thereby contributing to the amendment of the Law on State Budget 2015 in the upcoming time.
