Abstract
This systemic sector assessment (SSA) has been undertaken as part of the inception phase of the Productivity Ecosystems for Decent Work Programme. The study aims to identify binding constraints to, and opportunities for, productivity growth and decent job creation in the machinery and equipment subsector in Vietnam. The findings of the SSA will go on to guide the design of project interventions. The initial primary focus is on SME component manufacturing firms but consideration has been given to interventions that are also applicable to larger enterprises.
