Overview : UNDP Vietnam is seeking for 04 National Consultants to support the General Statistics Offices (GSO) in Testing a module in the Viet Nam Household Living Standard Survey quarter 4, 2021 round of data collection for estimating transient income poverty. (Ref. 3-211002) Viet Nam reported its first cases of COVID-19 on 23 January 2020. The Government of Viet Nam acted early and decisively to safeguard the country from the worst effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, containing the spread of the disease and saving lives. However, new cases from fourth wave of outbreaks from late April 2021, including the Delta variant of concern, are continuing to accelerate as of mid-September 2021. As of 20 September 2021, 687,010 cases and 17.090 deaths have been recorded (or 2.5% fatality rate); 99.4% of cases due to the pandemic have been recorded since 27 April 2021. Economic impacts are significant: Viet Nam recorded a GDP growth rate of 2.9% in 2020, its lowest in at least three decades but still among the highest in the world in 2020. Manufacturing, tourism, and transport activities fell abruptly during the first half of 2020. Economic response and early recovery has been affected by global supply chain shocks, greatly reduced export demand, increased public expenditures and declining revenues. Government data for 2020 indicates that 31.8 million workers were impacted, including those losing employment, being required to take leave, having reduced working hours and having reduced incomes. This experiment aims at providing an alternative solution of having VHLSS as an official and regular (or when necessary) vehicle for Viet Nam to collect data for monitoring transient income poverty.
