June 19, 2013

The Government of Viet Nam has articulated its development vision for the decade in the Ten year Socio- Economic Development Strategy (SEDS - 2001-2010). This document endorsed at the Ninth Party Congress in 2001 - lays out a path of transition towards a “market economy with socialist orientation” and expresses a strong commitment to growth, poverty reduction and social equity. The Five years Plan (2001 – 2005) and the Comprehensive Poverty Reduction and Growth Strategy (CPRGS), furthermore, give comprehensive lists of monitoring indicators of the macroeconomic performances and the social and institutional outcomes that the national goals require to achieve. The Prime Minister in May 2002 approved the CPRGS, named a Steering Committee, and encouraged that all governmental levels search how to achieve the CPRGS goals when formulating their annual plans.
