Leveraging a Resource Untapped

September 18, 2014

The purpose of this report is to provide direction in the implementation of leadership and management training programmes in Viet Nam that will increase the representation and authority of women in the civil service and political sphere. The report identifies gaps in existing programmes in Viet Nam that train women for elected office and public administration, and assesses how an array of global leadership and public service training models can be leveraged. The recommendations consider how challenges for women, specific to Viet Nam’s political environment, can be addressed with culturally sensitive approaches that will both enhance their skills and expand opportunities.

The report reviews existing political and public sector training programmes of 12 organizations and agencies within Viet Nam, in addition to 16 noteworthy programmes from around the world. The lessons drawn from this study identify best practices for an effective training programme for women in Viet Nam. Specific attention has been given to the level of gender-responsiveness and overall quality of leadership training for women and men in Viet Nam and globally.
