The Viet Nam Provincial Governance and Public Administration Performance Index (PAPI) 2016: National Trends from 2011-2016

April 7, 2017

PAPI 2016 data reveals three main positive national trends. First, public service delivery
continued to improve in 2016, reflecting an increase seen each year since the first PAPI survey in 2011. The survey results show a dramatic increase in the proportion of citizens receiving public health insurance, rising from 62% in 2015 to 73% in 2016. Another improvement was in public political participation, with voter turnout in the 2016 National Assembly elections increasing by 2% compared to the 2011 election. Finally, for the third successive year since the revised 2013 Land Law was passed, respondents reported substantially fewer land seizures.
