Welcome to the SME Development Programme Website!

The objective of the Small and Medium Enterprise Development Programme (SMEDP), funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development and implemented by GTZ and the Ministry of Planning and Investment, is to improve the competitiveness of small and medium enterprises in Vietnam.

In order to achieve this objective, SMEDP is working with a multi-stakeholder approach including public and private institutions at national level and in four selected provinces: An Giang, Dak Lak, Hung Yen and Quang Nam. The Programme consists of four closely interrelated components: 1. SME Policy, 2. Local Economic Development, 3. Competitiveness of Selected Sub-Sectors and Value Chains and 4. Advanced Technical Services/ Material Testing.
 
While the programme was originally designed for 12 years, a decision by the German government to concentrate the technical cooperation in a reduced number of areas, resulted in an early phase out of the programme after only four years, thereby posing a considerable challenge for partners and GTZ alike to assure impacts and sustainability within a limited time frame. In the light of this development, SMEDP decided to focus its work over the last year on the most successful products and instruments developed and introduced as far as demand, ownership by partners and potential for sustainability are concerned.
As knowledge management has been an integral part of the programme and was therefore embedded in the programme concept, the Programme website has been updated and will be maintained for a few more years after the Programmes ends. Visiting the website, you will find all the studies, research, publications, reports, description of instruments and products, systematization of interventions, presentations and many other knowledge management papers which were produced in the framework of the Programme. We do hope that this knowledge will further shared with and used by other national and international stakeholders in the overall effort to improve the business environment in Vietnam in general and specifically the competitiveness of small and medium enterprises in particular.

We hope you enjoy the website!
