The activity was within the framework of the project entitled “Women in Trade for Inclusive and Sustainable Growth” carried out by TFO Canada and funded by the Global Affairs Canada (GAC) in 24 developing nations, including Vietnam.
Specifically, TFO Canada will work with VIETRADE to assist Vietnam’s trade promotion organisations and women-led small and medium-sized enterprises in the fields of food processing and apparel accessories, effectively tap new-generational bilateral and multilateral free trade deals to navigate international markets via intensive training courses on sustainable orientations regarding environment, gender equality, digital marketing and e-commerce, and trade promotion skills.
They will also invite Vietnamese firms to fairs and expos in promising markets, or join online stalls at international expos.
Women-led enterprises now account for 25 percent of SMEs in Vietnam, helping to generate jobs and stable incomes for workers./.
