INSTITUTE OF STRATEGY AND POLICY ON NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT
Director - Nguyen The Chinh- gave opening remarks to all participants
The two-day workshop was a great opportunity for delegates to exchange ideas and experience in regard to their prior involvement in Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), set priorities for individual countries and draft implementation processes towards their targeted SDGs. It was expected that the event would promote exchange of knowledge and cooperation at regional and international levels and draw much attention from experts in Asia and Europe.
During the workshop, Mrs Thuy from Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) states that the goverment cannot be able to succeed in securing national development as well as achieving SDGs on its own. There are quite a few challenges that Vietnam faces when implementing SDGs, including reductions in ODA, weak institutional framework for SDG reporting, reviewing and reporting, or predomination of low-value added and labor intensive activities. The involvement of relevant ministries, civil society, enterprises, international partners and community in the process is particularly important and should be encouraged more in the future thanks to the provision of knowledge, technological and financial resources.
