To achieve the common objectives under the Partnership Framework, the two sides are expected to share knowledge, ideas and lessons learned, plan joint activities in areas of common interest, pool efforts and expertise. They also plan to jointly engage and collaborate with other stakeholders who share the same interest.

The Partnership Framework is supported by Australian Government, through the Australia – World Bank Group Strategic Partnership. In this respect, the Government of Australia and the World Bank are delighted to support the Office of the Government and the Government of Vietnam in the development and implementation of the e-government resolution for 2018-2020, and towards 2025.
