2. The availability of development indicators in Vietnam • Particularly, in 2011, GSO disseminates the National Statistics Indicator System (NSIS), in which development indicators are mainstreamed. • Vietnam has been implementing NSIS and some development indicators. Almost these will be collected, calculated and disseminated by beginning of 2015 by ministries/agencies and GSO. • Details indicators of each goal as follows:

9. The difficulties in compilation of development indicators for SDGs • In order to have a data set which reflect the implementation of this indicators, • it is necessary to collect data from different ministries/agencies. • There is no available database that contains all desired information, • and even a survey or investigation is need for collecting specific information. • It is inadequate that health data is collected from provincial administrative • reports. These data are gathered from health care establishments managed • by the State, thus, they miss relatively large cases of people • who are unable to access State healthcare services.

10. The difficulties in compilation of development indicators for SDGs • Environment statistics: This is an important item in SDGs. However, so far • there has been no legal document of Government’s stipulation and instruction • about environmental Information. Collecting data of environment statistics • need high technology and costs. As the result, the collection and dissemination • of this data is not assigned to any agencies. • Data of Goal 10 (Ensure Good Governance and Effective Institutions) is • no indicator • Up to now, data of almost these indicators is not available, • we will collect and calculate by beginning of 2015 • GSO depends on ortherministries/agencies to collect database
