These guidelines draw on the research report “Women’s Leadership in Viet Nam: Leveraging a Resource Untapped”, commissioned by the Women’s Leadership project of UNDP Viet Nam and the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The guidelines are primarily intended for trainers and those designing the curriculum for leadership training programmes, and who want to ensure these programmes are genderresponsive. The recommendations are based on an analysis of 37 political and public sector leadership programmes, within Viet Nam and globally.
