Coordination has been mentioned more and more by donors and beneficiaries, particularly in a cross-cutting area such as small and medium enterprises (SME) development where the Vietnamese Government is paying increased attention. This paper will take a snapshot of the overall picture of SME development in Vietnam and how donors are assisting the government in this process. In addition, the author analyzes the legal and institutional framework for donor coordination and what has been done by the Agency for SME Development (ASMED) in the field. Thinking how better coordination and cooperation among donors and between donors and the government could be achieved in SME development in Vietnam, policy recommendations are made for both government and donors to avoid possible overlapping, to fill the gap and to bring about the best efficiency. | Donor coordination in SME development in Vietnam What has been done and how can it be strengthened
