Citizens' Opinion of and Experiences with Government Responses to COVID-19 Pandemic in Viet Nam-2nd round survey 2021

December 6, 2021

This is the second-round sociological survey to understand how Vietnamese citizens have perceived and experienced the measures to contain the coronavirus adopted by central and local governments at the wake of the Delta variant in Viet Nam. The survey was conducted by the UN Development Programme (UNDP) and the Mekong Development Research Institute (MDRI), with the support and partnership from the Australian Government’s Department for Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). Using the Computer Assisted Telephone Interviews (CATI) method, this intensive telephone survey was conducted from 17 September to 15 October 2021 with the participation of 1,501 respondents randomly selected from the 2019 population sample of the Viet Nam Provincial Governance and Public Administration performance Index (PAPI). The aim was to compare views and experiences of permanent residents in all 63 provinces in 2021 with those in 2021 to understand changes before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
