The consultation workshop on national action plan to implement the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development was organised in Hanoi on November 10.
The workshop served as a forum for relevant agencies to give opinions to the draft national action plan, which proposed a list of sustainable development goals (SDGs) as well as measures and specific actions of the Government to reach the targets by 2030.
Addressing the workshop, Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment (MoPI) Nguyen The Phuong stressed the need to collect opinions and suggestions to the draft national action plan for the implementation of the agenda.
Vietnam has realised the agenda through Resolutions approved by the National Assembly and instruction documents of the Government, he noted.
Deputy Minister Phuong said that the MoPI is working to finalise the draft plan for submitting to the Prime Minister for approval. The draft plan is hoped to help Vietnam have right orientations to achieve the SDGs by 2030, and define the responsibility and coordination among relevant parties.
It will also serve as a legal foundation for Vietnam to perform its commitments with the international community, responsibly contributing to the sustainable development-related global efforts, according to the Deputy Minister.
Deputy Minister Phuong called on related ministries and agencies to join hands in building a feasible national action plan for implementing the UN Agenda 2030.
Speaking at the event, UN Development Programme (UNDP) Country Director in Vietnam Louise Chamberlain praised the MoPI’s move to mobilise contributions of relevant parties, especially the private sector and civil social organisations, to building the draft plan.
The implementation of the agenda asks a change in the role and operation mode of Governments, Director Louise Chamberlain stressed, adding that governments need to create favourable conditions for the people, enterprises and civil social organisation to participate in the process.
The action plan should point out priorities for vulnerable groups, while clarifying the coordination and participation mechanism among involved parties as well as the importance of data concerning the agenda implementation, she added.
The national action plan was outlined basing on reviewing existing policies, strategies and development plans of Vietnam, with comparison with 17 global SDGs and 169 specific targets.
The building of the plan was implemented from July-September this year, with the joining of ministries, sectors, agencies, UN organisations, Vietnam’s development partners and domestic and international organisations.
