The rankings are based on the provincial governments and ministries’ own reports, surveys of public opinions, assessments of digital transformation experts, and data collected by the Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC), which compiled the report.
The results provide a general picture on digital transformation in Vietnam and solutions to promote greater efforts in the coming years.
According to the MIC, the digital transformation process at provincial governments and ministries are in the beginning stages and the change of mindset and institutional building are being well implemented to facilitate the process.
To date 50/92 ministries, ministry-level agencies, provinces and cities have issued digital transformation programmes for the 2021-2025 period.
