History of operations in Vietnam
In Vietnam, DGRV supports since 1999 the transformation and development of the cooperative sector by providing cooperative expertise, long and short-term consultancy, as well as tailor-made solutions for international development projects. DGRV is since 2006 intensively collaborating with the national APEX confederation Vietnam Cooperative Alliance (VCA), several Provincial Cooperative Alliances (PCAs) and Local Cooperatives in order to achieve better efficiency and to realize its multi-level-approach. As centre of competence in cooperative development, DGRV operates on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and cooperates with international institutions. In Asia, DGRV operates in several countries within the framework of the “Regional Program for the Promotion of Cooperative Self-help groups in Asia”, funded by BMZ. Activities in SR Vietnam are a sub-component of this program.
