It is known that the 16th PAPI report in 2024 recorded the opinions of nearly 19,000 people in 63 provinces and cities across the country. The report provides in-depth analysis of many aspects of governance, public administration and public service provision, from the perspective of the people. The results show that the level of people's satisfaction with the performance of the government in 2024 tends to improve significantly. In particular, indicators such as transparency in decision-making, control of corruption in the public sector, environmental governance and e-governance are recorded to have improved. However, on a national level, only 3/8 areas of governance and public administration are rated by people at a "fair" level, including: control of corruption, accessibility and quality of administrative and public services.

The report also pointed out significant differences in satisfaction levels between population groups. Specifically, women, ethnic minorities and temporary residents often have lower ratings than men, Kinh people or people with permanent residence, especially in indicators related to local participation and transparency. In addition, mountainous and remote areas scored significantly lower than lowland areas, especially in the field of e-governance. This shows that the digital gap between regions and population groups remains a major challenge in the process of modernizing public administration.
