UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
a glossary of
COMMON development terms
Version 2.1
Ha Noi, April 2003
FOREWORD
Development in Viet Nam has grown tremendously in recent years as all major
international bilateral and multilateral donors increased their activities. Donors, at times,
experienced a common frustrating issue– the lack of a common or shared vocabulary for
development terms. This difficulty arose in part because many of the concepts were new to
Vietnamese counterparts. Development terms are also subject to evolving meanings in light of
changing development practices throughout the world. In response to the need for common
terminiology and in the interest of promoting donor harmonization, concerned national staff of the
United Nations Development Programme in Viet Nam have compiled this Glossary of Common
Development Terms. This Glossary is designed to serve as a tool for staff of the United Nations
system, bilateral donors, Vietnamese counterparts, international consultants as well as other
development partners that will improve understanding and communication in this complicated arena
of development assistance.
This Glossary has over 1,500 English main entries and nearly 1,000 derivative or associated
words which can be classified into four broad groups: (i) concepts which are often used by
development partners (e.g. capacity building, institutional development, sustainable
development); (ii) concepts for which Vietnamese equivalents are not yet widely recognized (e.g.
downstream, upstream, governance, human development); (iii) concepts which have special
contexts (e.g. Capacity 21, Agenda 21, 20:20 Initiative) or common terms which have however
evolved in meaning over time (e.g. result, outcome, participation); and (iv) names of major
development agencies (e.g. ADB, SIDA, World Bank), and international conventions on current
development issues (e.g. Convention on the Rights of the Child, Convention on Biological
Diversity). The English entries not only have Vietnamese equivalents but, in many cases, are also
supported by definitions, explanations or examples in order to provide exact meanings and/or
clarify contextual meanings. The Glossary is therefore more than a simple list of English concepts
and their Vietnamese equivalents. It is in fact meant to serve as a modest repository of development
knowledge to be shared among users.
The first version of this Glossary was launched for internal use within UNDP in May 2001
and formally posted on the UNDP website in April 2002. This current version has been refined and
upgraded and contains new terms and an easier presentational format. However, given the
extremely rich and evolving nature of development knowledge, the Glossary is far from a
comprehensive or perfect publication, nor is it intended to be one. Instead, it should be seen as a
living reference material which requires regular updating if it is to continue to serve as a useful
working tool for Vietnamese and other development practitioners. Therefore, the inputs and
suggestions of all users are most welcome. Such contributions can be sent either to the United
Nations Development Programme, through registry@undp.org.vn, or directly to Mr. Phan Duc
Thang at ducthang@undp.org.vn.

TECHNICAL NOTES
The entries in this glossary begin on Page 1 and continue in an alphabetical order
from A to W. The entries are printed in heavy bold letters. The left-hand words, for
example (Employment, Enrolment) are main entries and determine the alphabetical
order. Those following these words are derivative words which are derived from the main
entries and which denote associated concepts. A derivative entry may be followed by a
tilde ( ~ ) mark, for example (Full ~ : Cã viÖc lµm ®Çy ®ñ) or proceeded by the same mark,
for example (~ generation: T¹o viÖc lµm). In some cases, it may be placed between other
words, for example (Net ~ ratio: Tû lÖ ®i häc ®óng tuæi).
A main entry or a derivative entry can be a noun (n), a verb (v) or an adjective (adj).
It may have one or more than one Vietnamese equivalent term. It may be supported by a
definition, for example (i.e. prices that are set by the State) or an explanation, for example
(i.e. UNICEF’s response to adjustment programmes launched by IMF during the 1980’s...)
in order to give the exact meaning or context of the word. The entry may as well be
illustrated by an example in order to clarify the meaning or usage, for instance (e.g. ~ to
clean water: §−îc sö dông n−íc s¹ch). In some cases the example is accompanied by a
Vietnamese translation, while it is not in other cases. A Vietnamese equivalent term is
always written in italic while a definition, explanation and example is always written in
normal letters. In all cases, however, the tilde ( ~ ) mark used throughout the glossary
represents the main entry or the derivative entry and is intended to avoid a repetition of the
entry itself.
