HANOI, April 17 (Bernama): The control of corruption in the public sector last year showed the best performance in a decade, since the Vietnam Provincial Governance and Public Administration Performance Index (PAPI) survey was first conducted.

The 2020 PAPI report, released recently, indicated that in 2020, the percentages of respondents seeing bribes as necessary for jobs in state agencies, public health-care services, land use right certificates, fair treatment by primary school teachers and the granting of construction permits continued declining since 2016, the first year of the 2016-2021 government term.
