"Equal rights, equal responsibilities, equal opportunities and equal power for women and men" are key principles of German development policy. Gender equality is considered a prerequisite for the human rights-based, socially equitable, and sustainable development of societies. The promotion of gender equality is, therefore, an important cross-cutting issue and quality feature of all areas of German development cooperation. Implementing BMZ’s policy on gender equality, GIZ promotes equal opportunities of women and men. GIZ’s Gender Strategy lays out the framework for realizing these commitments by promoting gender equality throughout the company and within the scope of our commissions for BMZ and other clients. In Vietnam, the Gender Experts play a crucial role in facilitating the implementation of gender-based approaches in our projects.
