Scoring 0.7709 points, Vietnam is classified in the very high E-Government Development Index (EGDI) group. The EGDI is a composite measure of three important dimensions of e-government, namely: provision of online services, telecommunication connectivity and human capacity.

The UN said that the promotion of countries like Vietnam from the high to very high EGDI group shows success in strengthening digital infrastructure, expanding Internet connectivity, and applying strong e-government frameworks.

The UN assessed that Vietnam’s significant investment in online public services was reflected in the new ranking. According to the UN, countries with very high EGDI and Telecommunications Infrastructure Index (TII) scores like Vietnam can accelerate digital development by improving online public service delivery and human capital development.
