Target beneficiaries of the programme are SMEs operating in the province regardless of types of ownership, models of organization and fields of operation. 

The decision requires that the programme provides legal support in diverse forms tailored to meet the needs of each type of enterprises. The support must be delivered timely to the right target with clear and specific consultations. Special attention should be paid to SMEs in remote and far-flung areas. 

The decision also stresses that State agencies should coordinate with representative organizations of enterprises, legal service providers, and other related organizations and individuals to implement the programme, to ensure the transparency and effectiveness of the support. 

The provision of legal support to SMEs must be done through legal service providers to ensure that enterprises’ requests will be addressed and settled. Priority should be given to enterprises owned by women, those using many woman labourers or having at least 30 percent of staff members being peole with disabilities. 

Funding for the programme will be sourced from the province’s annual budget in accordance with the Law on State Budget and relevant legal documents. At the same time, the province will mobilize donations and help of organisations and individuals both inside and outside the country.
