The Vietnam Provincial Governance and Public Administration Performance Index (PAPI) is a citizen participation tool to monitor the effectiveness of government in implementing policies at the grassroots level. After a pilot survey in 2009 and a larger scale implementation in 2010, the PAPI survey has been conducted nationwide since 2011.

The Provincial Governance and Public Administration Performance Index includes 8 content area indicators, 29 component content indicators and more than 120 component indicators on governance and public administration performance of all 63 provinces/cities.

PAPI summary results table 2022 of provinces and cities.

In 2022, 16,117 citizens and voters participated in the PAPI survey. Over the past 14 years, 178,243 randomly selected citizens nationwide have participated in assessing the effectiveness of governance and public administration through direct interactions with governments at all levels through the PAPI study.

However, 29 provinces/cities significantly decreased in Dimension 7 “Environmental Governance”, 18 provinces/cities significantly decreased in Dimension 4 “Control of Corruption in the Public Sector”, and 18 provinces/cities significantly decreased in Dimension 6 “Public Service Delivery”.
