P000159001: This project aims to increase economic opportunities for poor rural women and men, including ethnic minorities, in the province of TraVinh. The project contributes to developing and implementing key priorities of the province’s five-year Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) Development Plan. The project also aims to improve environmental sustainability and ensure gender equality. This project seeks to create a favourable business environment for SMEs by, for example, (1) simplifying the business registration process; (2) increasing access to finance and business development services; (3) improving the ability of SME managers to run their businesses; (4) increasing the production capacity of a number of businesses; and (5) improving the skills of the workforce in order to meet the labour needs of small and medium enterprises. The project also aims to improve SMEs’ access to markets in about 20 targeted communities in Tra Vinh province by building priority small-scale infrastructure such as waste treatment facilities, inter-village roads and bridges to improve rural transportation. Finally, the project seeks to improve the ability of local government organizations (at the provincial, district and commune level) to support the development of SMEs. Through training, technical assistance and institutional development, the goal is for these government organizations to be better able to plan, budget, manage their finances, procure, and monitor activities related to SME development in the province.
