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 works with business support organizations 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 work on policy and regulatory reforms consists of two components. The first focuses on streamlining regulations and administrative procedures, reducing compliance costs, and enhancing the competitiveness of SMEs. The second focuses on supporting efforts to improve the effectiveness of government to business interactions, for instance enhancing government information available to enterprises and improving the government’s mechanisms for handling feedback from the business sector. The lead agency for these two components is the Administrative Procedures Control Agency under the Office of the Government.
