Việt Nam, Vietnam IPSC Full time

**Scope of Work**

**Technical Assistance for Vietnam Food JSC.**

**Trainer on USDA & FDA requirements**

**Background**

Improving Private Sector Competitiveness (IPSC) is a U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) technical assistance project, and the Agency for Enterprise Development (AED) under the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) is the project owner. The project is implemented by Deloitte Consulting LLP (“Deloitte”) and runs from 2020 to 2025.

The purpose of the USAID IPSC Activity is to remove constraints and build the competitiveness of small and growing businesses (SGBs) in Vietnam, including those led by vulnerable populations. With this activity, USAID/Vietnam is supporting Vietnam’s competitiveness: _vertically_ at the policy, market and firm level; and _horizontally_ by working along the entire spectrum of enterprise growth models, from household businesses transforming into registered firms to small firms on the cusp of scaling up.

IPSC is made up of four interrelated Objectives:

- **Objective 1.** Building business management capacity of SGBs, including those led by vulnerable populations, particularly women and ethnic minorities.
- **Objective 2.** Improving efficiency and productivity by promoting innovation, technology adoption, and sustainable business models.
- **Objective 3.** Enhancing business enabling environment for a broad-based inclusive economy.
- **Objective 4.** Strengthening business-to-business (B2B) and cross-sectoral linkages

**Summary of Activities**

The adoption of Environment, Social, Governance (ESG) practices is rapidly increasing worldwide, fueled both by customer demand, investors’ expectation, and sustainability regulations. The Government of Vietnam has approved the National Green Growth Strategy and Action Plan, followed by the National Program on Support for Private Enterprises in Sustainable Business (Decision 167/QD-TTg 2022). Accelerating corporate sustainability and ESG practices can help companies in Vietnam improve competitiveness, build long-term growth, rise to international operating standards, and facilitate joining and moving up in global value chains.

Within this context, IPSC aims to support the private sector to become more competitive and ready to enter the global market through integrating sustainable business practices and adopting ESG. In 2023, IPSC launched the Vietnam ESG Initiative, a prize competition to support SGBs with circular economy and/or inclusive business approach to receive in-depth technical support for piloting, implementing, or scaling up their sustainable business practices and ESG adoption. The Top 10 finalist SGBs were selected based on their potential to drive impactful ESG practices that can be used as examples for other SGBs to replicate and scale up.

The goals VNF want to achieve include:

- Reduce waste burden for Vietnam’s shrimp industry towards the circular economy.
- Revolutionize & build up the pioneering high-tech & high value shrimp by-product processing industry.
- Develop green solutions from shrimp by-products to support other agricultural & industrial sectors towards sustainable development.

VNF plans to increase the dissemination of sustainable biological materials and solutions in the agricultural industry not only in Vietnam but also overseas, especially in great markets such as the United States. **As part of the technical assistance delivery awarded for VNF, IPSC is seeking 01 individual consultant to provide training for VNF’s staff with regards to USDA and FDA requirements.**

**Specific Tasks**

The consultant is required to support VNF and IPSC to perform the below tasks and responsibilities.
