We have just won the project “Making Markets Work Better for the Poor Phase 2” funded by Asian Development Bank (ADB). Brief description of the project is as below:
From 2003 to 2007, the ADB implemented a policy research-oriented regional technical assistance (RETA) entitled Making Markets Work Better for the Poor (M4P1), which covered Viet Nam, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, and Cambodia. M4P1 was successful in raising awareness of the potentially positive role of market development in achieving poverty reduction as well as economic growth and was completed at the end of 2007. On December 2006, the Department for International Development (DFID) expressed an interest in co-financing Making Market Work Better for the Poor Phase 2 (M4P2) in Vietnam. M4P2 is a country-specific Technical Assistance (TA). TA activities will be more action-oriented and restricted to three focus areas: (i) Infrastructure services, (ii) value chain development, and (iii) labour markets. The proposed TA comprises three main components: (i) action research funding; (ii) capacity building, and (iii) the Vietnam Market Participation Challenge Fund (VMPCF).
