Strengthening female entrepreneurship Vietnam As in many countries, female entrepreneurs in Vietnam are less active and successful than their male-dominated peers. Part of this situation relates to a lack of skills and support. Various women entrepreneur associations are actively mitigating this situation. In Vietnam, the project will provide institution capacity-building to women entrepreneur associations, the Hanoi Association for Women Entrepreneurs (HNEW), Vietnam Women Entrepreneurs Council (VWEC) and the Ho Chi Minh City Association for Women Executives and Entrepreneurs (HAWEE), and help their member base with essential skills to grow their business. This approach should provide the stakeholders with a roadmap to institutionalise their approach to support their members.
