Challenges MfDR is a new concept in Vietnam. Like

other countries, Vietnam can inherit only a few experiences from advanced countries and as such has to apply “learning by doing” approach and takes lessons learnt for further improvement

Lack of institutions and guidance on result-based M&E in systematic manner

Weakness in data provision and collection

Vietnam MPI

Challenges

The requirement for adjustment of organization, functions and responsibilities of agencies at different level

Proficiency and capacity of government staff

Constraints of resources: most of outcome and impact indicators must be evaluated through surveys in large scale and very costly
