| Abstract | This study attempts to develop a framework to measure the impacts of development projects supporting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by Non governmental Organization (NGO). It then tries to apply that framework to evaluation of a development project, which was carried out by Netherlands Development Organization (SNV), an Dutch NGO to support SMEs in Ninh Binh province Vietnam. Based on the sample of selected SMEs, data were collected to measure the impacts of the project in terms of Social and Economic aspects. The comparison between small size and medium size SMEs and among different SMEs in different industries were made whenever there is a difference on order to give insights for the donor, the project management and managers of the partner organization and related institutions. The results revealed that supported SMEs and their employees made a pos1t1ve change in economic as well as social aspects. Among five industries given priority, embroidery industry appeared to be the best in making use of the project. However, changes seem not to be found in some social impacts such as health care and insurance. Some suggestions for further study are also given. |
