U.S. Agency for International Development

USAID/VIETNAM

Vietnam is an increasingly important development partner of the United States. The U.S. established the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Office in Hanoi in 2001. The office, formerly part of the Regional Development Mission/Asia (RDM/A) based in Bangkok (Thailand), was officially upgraded to full USAID Mission status in July 2008. USAID’s activities strive to accelerate Vietnam’s 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. Through its activities since 2000, USAID has provided over $200 million dollars in assistance to Vietnam.
