Study on private sector development and prospects for Norwegian trade and investment interests in Vietnam (phase I)

The broad aims of the review are to firstly assess the status of the private sector and its environment, and secondly to identify possible areas for future Norwegian support of PSD, within the framework of Vietnamese and Norwegian development co-operation. The suggested areas of support are based on the team's assessment of opportunities and constraints within PSD, taking into consideration other development programs by the government, donors and private organisations. New areas are assessed with a view to complement the portfolio of current Norwegian-Vietnamese development programs, having in mind areas of particular Norwegian competence. The team has in addition suggested some areas that might be of interest to Norwegian companies in a possible phase 2.
