Recommendations from gender perspectives in the development of training programs for CEO of private enterprise

This project aims to design a gender-responsive CEO training framework for Vietnam’s private sector, with a particular focus on women-owned businesses (WOBs) and SMEs, in alignment with national policies and UN Women’s WE RISE Together program. Combining policy review, international benchmarking, large-scale surveys, and stakeholder consultations, the project develops an evidence-based, scalable curriculum and operational roadmap to enhance leadership capacity, digital readiness, and inclusive growth. The expected outcome is a practical and policy-ready training ecosystem that strengthens competitiveness, promotes gender equality, and supports sustainable enterprise development in Vietnam.
