The USAID LinkSME project, funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), supports the Government of Vietnam (GVN) in its efforts to develop, adopt, and implement policy and regulatory reforms to provide a more favorable environment for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). It also supports private sector development, cooperating with business support organizations (BSOs) and the GVN to improve the performance of SMEs and integrate them into lead-firm supply chains. The project is implemented by the International Executive Service Corps (www.iesc.org [1]), under a contract with USAID and an operating license issued by the People’s Aid Coordinating Committee.
The project’s private sector development work focuses on three areas: upgrading SMEs so that they meet the demands of lead firms, helping SMEs increase their access to finance, and assisting SMEs in digitalizing their business operations (aka digital transformation). In all three areas the project partners with BSOs to both enhance its reach and develop sustainable, long-term supportive resources for businesses. The lead agency for these activities is the Agency for Economic Development in the Ministry of Planning and Investment.
