Impact monitoring and quality assurance
has always been an uphill task for donors, implementing
agencies, and recipient agencies. In the last few decades,
authors have witnessed the evolution of impact monitoring
work with lots of new methodologies and concepts, resulting
in thick documents that are sometimes difficult to digest.
This paper does not aim to describe this evolution. Rather,
it focuses on how the German Agency for Technical
Cooperation (GTZ) Small and Medium Enterprise (SME)
Development Program in Vietnam has adopted a new approach in
impact monitoring and the challenges that authors are
facing. It also describes first results and achievements, as
well as key lessons drawn out of the process. Vietnam is a
rising economy with discernible economic achievements in the
last few years. Since 2000, the private sector in Vietnam
has grown remarkably and is becoming increasingly important
for the national economy. However, constraints facing the
private sector are numerous, at both national and
subnational level. The GTZ SME Development Program aims to
improve the competitiveness of private SMEs in Vietnam by
contributing to a favorable private sector policy framework.
It also supports creating an enabling business and
investment environment at the provincial level and fostering
local economic development. Additionally, it helps
enterprises to integrate into domestic and international
value chains and supports the upgrading of business services. |
