Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop on February 19 announced a 4.2
million AUD (3.79 million USD) supporting package for two projects in
Vietnam.
The money will be spent on building a sustainable vegetable production and trading system in the northwestern region and enhancing the capacity of personnel working in domestic violence and human trafficking prevention.
Both projects aim to increase the engagement of women in the socio-economic development of Vietnam and will be managed through the Vietnam Women’s Union.
The first mission is likely to improve living conditions for women farmers and their families by connecting them with enterprises to reach urban markets.
Carried out in the 2014-2018 period, the project will focus on women from ethnic minority groups in the region.
During a meeting with Bishop the same day, President of the Vietnam Women’s Union Nguyen Thi Thanh Hoa praised Australia ’s support for Vietnamese women and pledged to coordinate closely with partners to implement the projects in a most effective manner.-VNA
