    Abstract:
    The UN Population Fund (UNFPA) has supported the government of Vietnam's population and family planning efforts since 1978. This support has produced encouraging results over the period. International experience has shown that government commitment is a key factor for the success of population programs. The government of Vietnam is very committed to population issues. For example, since 1992, a minister of population has been nominated, the National Committee for Population and Family Planning (NCPFP) has been strengthened, and the national budget allocated to the population sector has increased by almost ten-fold. This strong national-level commitment is also often seen at the local level. The author notes that UNFPA is no longer the only major international donor to Vietnam for population programs and highlights some recent population-related achievements in the country to which UNFPA contributed in recent years.
