Background:
Viet Nam is a lower MIC classified within the medium human development bracket with a GDP per capita of US$ 2,109 and HDI of 0.666 (116 of 188 countries ranked in the 2015 HDR). Despite Viet Nam’s remarkable achievements, development challenges remain, including an unfinished SDG agenda as well as persistent disparities by ethnicity, gender, and locality. Viet Nam’s SEDP 2016-2020 aspires to build an inclusive and sustainable development model balancing economic, social and environmental imperatives so all citizens benefit from development gains. Strengthening institutional accountability, people’s voices and access to justice is essential to this development vision.

Communications, advocacy, outreach activities, and public information play a critical role in the implementation of the CPD to deliver development results in Viet Nam. UNDP Viet Nam is recruiting a Communications Consultant to enhance its media and communications efforts.
