One of the strengths of the policy framework is to build systems that monitor implementation of the guidance documents. As specified in resolution 5728, the General Statistics Office (GSO) has established the system of statistical indicators in 2011, aimed at monitoring the implementation of the national programme on gender equality. This system collects and reports data on a range of issues (105 index), including 9 specific indicators related to leadership and management. This system is a step forward in monitoring the implementation of the various legal texts and, more importantly, is the progress in monitoring gender equality in Vietnam.
