The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) has been implementing a GEF/UNDP-funded project entitled “Environmental Remediation of Dioxin Contaminated Hotspots in Viet Nam” since May 2010. MONRE implements this project in close collaboration with the Ministry of Defense (MOD) and people’s committees of three provinces: Dong Nai, Da Nang, Binh Dinh. The project aims “to minimize disruption of ecosystems and health risks for people from environmental releases of TCDD contaminated hotspots”. This will contribute to the broader Goal, which is “to overcome the consequences of toxic chemicals used in the war in Viet Nam”.

Background

Vietnam is one of the first countries to ratify CEDAW and take lead in the region in narrowing the gender gap. Women and men are also fairly equal in terms of employment opportunities. However, women are especially vulnerable to poverty and economic shocks because they are generally concentrated in the informal sector with unskilled jobs and low wages.
