Gender-Smart Climate Diagnostic Vietnam - Ergon Associates - 2024

Description of Project:

Ergon Associates is seeking a local partner to support the delivery of the project ‘Gender-Smart Climate Diagnostic for the Private Sector in Vietnam’, which is being conducted on behalf of IFC. The diagnostic seeks to create critical linkages between Vietnam’s private sector priorities, its climate ambitions, and its gender priorities.

This survey forms part of the project “Gender-Smart Climate Diagnostic in Vietnam”, which aims to analyse the participation of women in employment and entrepreneurship in ‘climate priority’ economic sectors in Vietnam. The focus sectors and value chains for this research are: the rice value chain; solar energy, and plastics recycling. Research for the project is being carried out by Ergon Associates and our local partner Mekong Economics on behalf of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group.

We are very interested in collecting good practices that different companies have adopted to promote gender equality and women’s participation in employment and/or entrepreneurship. This might include innovative company policies or programs and/or participation in wider industry initiatives related to non-discrimination, equal opportunities, and women’s economic participation.
