About the IDAP Project
IDAP (Inclusive Digital Acceleration Program) is a project focused on strengthening the inclusive digital transformation ecosystem for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the agriculture and tourism sectors in Lao Cai and Son La provinces. The project is funded by GREAT (Gender Responsive Equitable Agriculture and Tourism) and is implemented by KisStartup Joint Stock Company as the main partner from 2024 to 2027.
The predecessor of the IDAP project was the Digital Acceleration Program (DAP), which targeted businesses, cooperatives, and individual business households. At the conclusion of the program, all participants successfully transformed their business models and achieved revenue growth. Total online revenue generated across five cohorts, each lasting 10 weeks, exceeded VND 7.2 billion. On average, each business or cooperative experienced a revenue increase of 300-500% compared to their performance before joining the program.
