National Coordinator (UNDP)

📍UNDP IN VIETNAM:

Over the course of its 45-year presence in VietNam, UNDP has been assisting Viet Nam with its successful transition from war to reconstruction; from a centrally-planned economy to a market economy; from poor to low middle-income status; and towards achieving first the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 2000-2015 and then the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2015-2030. UNDP Viet Nam works closely with the Government of Viet Nam, line ministries and local governments, the Party and National Assembly, and related commissions. We also work with the private sector, national think tanks, and civil society organizations at various levels, as partners to contribute towards 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Our services to the country include capacity strengthening support, technical assistance, and policy advice on (i) governance and participation; (ii) inclusive growth; and (iii) climate change, the environment, and enabling a just energy transition. This assistance is primarily done through programme cycles which are reflected in Country Programme Documents (CPD) for Viet Nam, the latest of which may be found here covering the period of 2022-2026.
Organizationally, the UNDP CO is divided into two main business tracks (programme and operations) and managed by a Senior Management team consisting of the Resident Representative, the Deputy Resident Representative, and the heads of the three main programme units, which are: (i) the Climate Change, Energy and Environment (CEEU); (ii) the Governance and Participation; and (iii) the Inclusive and Equitable Growth Team.
