This is the second time Quang Ninh has held the highest position in the 12 years the PAPI survey has been conducted in Vietnam.
The province was followed by the southern province of Binh Duong, and the central province of Thanh Hoa. Meanwhile, the northern mountainous province of Cao Bang was at the bottom.
PAPI measures eight dimensions: participation at local levels, transparency, vertical accountability, control of corruption, public administrative procedures, public service delivery, environmental governance and e-government.
With a record 16,117 respondents randomly selected from all of Vietnam’s 63 provinces and cities, PAPI is in a unique position to deliver invaluable insights into government performance at all levels two years into its 2021-2026 term and actualise the 2023 legislative agenda./.
