The Citi Micro-entrepreneur Awards (CMA) program endeavors to recognize the spirit of enterprise that has taken people from poverty to a life of dignity. The awards acknowledge individual micro-entrepreneurs and community owned enterprises that have exhibited a superior ability to emerge from below the poverty line through the use of micro-credit to build self-sustaining enterprises, create employment and contribute meaningfully to their communities. The CMA was launched in Vietnam in 2012, with grant support from Citi Foundation, USA and is implemented in partnership with the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) and Vietnam Association of Small and Middle Enterprises (VINASME)
