CARE International in Vietnam is a creative and dynamic organisation working with Vietnamese and international partner organisations since 1989 in over 300 projects. We recognise that the key to achieving equitable development outcomes lies in addressing deeply rooted, structural underlying causes of poverty and injustices contributing to the exclusion and vulnerability of particular groups in society. Our long-term program goal in Vietnam is that poor and marginalised ethnic minority and urban people of all genders, particularly women, equitably benefit from development.

Project information
Background information: CARE Australia is investing funds to build a peer-to-peer micro-lending start-up focused on women-owned or run micro and small-medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the Asia region. The online platform will allow individuals and groups in Australia to make loans to women to help them establish or develop their economic activities, including running small and micro businesses in the Asia region. This promotes the participation of the Australian public in social investment and increases the total pool of funds available to CARE’s local financial service providers (FSPs). In Vietnam, CARE Australia is partnering with Thanh Hoa Microfinance Institution (THMFI) to provide fundings to women-owned micro and small businesses in Thanh Hoa.The issue of accessing finance particularly affects women entrepreneurs who are more likely to operate micro and small businesses. However, even if women are able to access microfinance, they often face additional barriers in using or benefiting from financial services in the same way as men. Market systems themselves can be exclusionary with a lack of financial products and services designed for women. Microfinance intersects with gender norms related to women’s and men’s expected roles both inside and outside the household. In some circumstances, microfinance can change household gender dynamics and may put women at risk of economic, physical, psychological or other types of violence.
To avoid as many unexpected consequences as possible, CARE in Vietnam (CVN) and THMFI have agreed to enter a series of co-designed GBV mitigation and disability inclusion activities, accompanied with a light-touch measurement plan. This phase shall be from September 2023 to May 2024.

This training component will be held together with another 1.5-day training provided by a GBV mitigation consultant.

- Provide project stakeholders an introduction to disability and disability inclusion with a focus on what it is and why it is relevant within the project scope and;
- Introduce participants to the principles and practical steps to implement disability inclusion in the daily work of THMFI credit officers and commune women union staff;
- Develop and introduce to the training participant a simple template to collect data on disability inclusion with the project intervention.
