Vietnam
Vietnam is rapidly transitioning into a digital and technology-driven economy, and lasting progress depends on expanding STEM education, growing the workforce, and crafting policies that balance growth with natural resource management.
In Vietnam, we partner with government agencies, the private sector, civil society, and regional and international institutions to strengthen transparent governance and shape systems to drive broad-based and sustainable economic growth, environmental resilience, women’s economic opportunity, and an export-focused tech economy.
Households accessed digital financial services
Nearly 400,000 household businesses and MSMEs received training, including 3,400 women-led businesses receiving mentoring to strengthen digital confidence, cyber safety, customer growth, and financial recordkeeping.
Businesses investing in environmental resilience
In addition, 10,000+ enterprises were surveyed to shape environmental resilience and low-carbon investment.
Students continued their education
Girls, people from disadvantaged communities, and STEM scholars received support to stay in school, build skills, and find jobs.
nterprises improving trade facilitation
Additionally, 40+ agencies received support to improve trade facilitation, small enterprise finance, digital traceability, sustainable supply chains, and workforce innovation.
FEATURED PROGRAM
Building Small Business Cyber Resilience
Vietnam’s MSMEs and household businesses are rapidly adopting e-commerce, digital payments, social media sales, and platform-based services, but many remain exposed to phishing, fake websites, data leaks, platform fraud, and social media-based scams. While Vietnam has made strong progress on cybersecurity policy, protection remains uneven for smaller and informal businesses. With funding from Google.org, the APAC Cybersecurity Fund addresses this gap by strengthening practical cyber readiness, improving MSME-friendly guidance, and helping businesses participate more safely and confidently in the digital economy.
