The overall objective of the  ARISE+ Viet Nam project is inclusive economic growth and poverty reduction in Viet Nam, while the  specific objective of the project is to provide technical assistance to the Vietnamese Government to  maximise Viet Nam’s benefits from preferential trade regimes, with a focus on regional trade  agreements and the EU-VietNam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) and the EU-Viet Nam Investment  Protection Agreement (EVIPA). DAI Human Dynamics is implementing this project together with  consortium partners: VCCI, Eurocham and Gopa.
