VietnamUSAID Vietnam, formerly under the umbrella of RDMA, is now a bilateral mission. RDMA will continue to host USAID Vietnam’s information until its website is launched. OVERVIEWVietnam’s 84 million people are moving quickly from a centrally-planned to a market-oriented economy, their social and economic progress propelled by 15 years of high growth and economic restructuring that has decreased poverty by 33%. Despite its ranking now as the world’s third most-reforming economy and its being considered a model of successful development, Vietnam still faces the challenges of an HIV/AIDS epidemic fuelled by injecting drug use, a potential avian influenza pandemic, and the challenges of running an increasingly sophisticated economy while still developing global-standard legal, regulatory and capital systems. Since a prosperous Vietnam is vital to maintaining regional stability in Southeast Asia, USAID’s activities strive to accelerate its transition to an open, market-based economy, develop capacities to mitigate the harmful effects of HIV/AIDS, improve vulnerable groups’ access to services, and ensure that environmental governance progresses along with economic and social development.
