Best Practice: Promoting Gender Equality and Sustainability for Entrepreneur Women in Central Vietnam
Summary of the content and its utility
Vietnam has seen a surge in female-led businesses, but the Covid-19 pandemic exacerbated gender disparities, particularly in tourism. Thua Thien Hue, a central tourist destination, responded with the Sustainable Agenda for Gender Equality in Tourism and Hospitality (SAGETH) program. Led by Technological University Dublin and Hue University, SAGETH provides mentorship to women entrepreneurs, addressing challenges and fostering gender equality. Dr. Lien Tran Thi Ngoc noted a positive response, citing the program's impact on participants like Ms. Tuyet Truong Hoang Anh, who improved her farm stay business through online marketing strategies. Future plans include program expansion and establishing a mentorship network for ongoing support, aligning with UN Sustainable Development Goals.
