Analysis in the 2020 PAPI Report shows that citizen engagement and anti-corruption efforts have a positive correlation with Viet Nam’s ability to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The dimension on Vertical Accountability Towards Citizens also steadily improved during the 2016-2021 term, mainly because an increasing number of citizens have contacted local officials, in particular village heads and People’s Council delegates.

Dimensions posting declines included Participation at Local Levels and Public Administrative Procedures.

Since 2018, PAPI has been co-funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) of Australia, the Embassy of Ireland and United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in Viet Nam.
