Vietnam Corruption Barometer 2019

Over the past three years, the anti-corruption legal framework was improved, more anti-corruption actions were implemented, and high-ranking officials involved in corruption were prosecuted. While there is much work to be done to strengthen governance and combat corruption in Vietnam, recent efforts seem to have improved the confidence of citizens in their government’s anti-corruption actions. Between July and August 2019, Towards Transparency (TT) surveyed 1,085 citizens in 19 provinces and cities across Vietnam. To get further insight into citizens’ views and experiences, TT also conducted qualitative interviews in November 2019. This 4th edition of the survey provides new insights into the perceptions and experiences of corruption by Vietnamese citizens, and offers recommendations for public and private actors.
