The final review report of the Country Programme Review (CPR) of the Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP) for 2017-2021 was prepared by a team of independent evaluators led by Mr. Le Duy Binh of Economica Vietnam and endorsed by Vietnamese tripartite constituents (Government, Workers and Employers). The CPR assessed the relevance and coherence of the DWCP design, the efficiency in implementation, effectiveness of its operations, sustainability and results. The review provided a basis for improved insights within the ILO Viet Nam as to how to better design, implement, monitor and assess country programmes in the future and also identify priorities by the constituents to inform the development of the next DWCP for 2022-2026. It covered all interventions planned and carried out during the period 2017-2021, taking into account that the priorities remain the same. The CPR has been coordinated by the ILO Office for Viet Nam with support from Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (ROAP).

The CPR approach has helped to promote and encourage participation of key stakeholders, especially, the Tripartite DWCP Working Group throughout the review process. It has also provided insightful information for the on-going process of developing and finalizing the new DWCP.
