Launching OECD’s Multi-dimensional Country Reviews
Report Launching Ceremony for the OECD’s Multi-dimensional Review of Vietnam

The OECD’s Multi-dimensional Country Reviews (MDCRs) are a valuable tool created by collaborative and multidisciplinary efforts of the OECD and an extensive range of stakeholders in the country under review to help this country identify major challenges specific to their individual circumstances and development levels. Since February 2019, with supports from four partners, namely the EU-OECD Development Centre Facility for Asia, the Embassy of Switzerland, the Embassy of Korea and HSF in Vietnam, the OECD has worked in close cooperation with the Vietnamese government in developing the MDCR of Vietnam.

The Report was officially released on 8th December in a Launching Ceremony in Hanoi with the attendance of the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Planning and Investment, representatives from the four partners who have actively engaged in all phases of the development and publication of the MDCR, ambassadors of several countries in Hanoi, as well as the virtual participation of Mr Jeffrey Schlagenhauf – Deputy Secretary General of the OECD and Mr Federico Bonaglia – Deputy Director of the OECD Development Centre from Paris.

In his opening remarks at the Ceremony, Minister of the Planning and Investment Bui Chi Dung expressed his deep appreciation of the OECD’s efforts in producing the MCDR of Vietnam. He emphasised that 7 strategic goals, 27 high-level recommendations, 70 actions, including 16 priority actions proposed in the MCDR would be enormously helpful for Vietnam on the preparation for its 2021-2030 Socio-Economic Development Strategy as well as its 2021-2025 Socio-Economic Development Plan.

Employing both qualitative and quantitative methods with various OECD assessment tools, the MDCR offers a comprehensive evaluation of socio-economic performance of Vietnam, acknowledging the country’s impressive achievements since the adaption of the Doi Moi Policy in 1986. More importantly, as a result of many in-depth interviews and expert consultations, the MDCR also defines Vietnam’s constraints to sustainable development and identifies some priority sectors as well as concrete policy recommendations to support an integrated, transparent and sustainable economy in Vietnam.

HSF is proud to be a part of this multi-disciplinary and collaborative effort and ready to contribute to the implementation of the findings.
