Introduction

Country: Vietnam

Description of the Assignment: A national consultant (Team Member) to conduct gender in mine action assessment and subsequent validation workshop

Period of assignment/services: September to December 2025 (35 days)

The Korea–Viet Nam Peace Village Project (KVPVP), implemented by VNMAC with technical support from UNDP and funding from the Government of the Republic of Korea through KOICA (2022–2026), has featured active participation of women in areas of mine action, including Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE) and victim assistance. These efforts reflect VNMAC’s growing commitment to align mine action with the principles of gender equality, as articulated under Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5 and in Viet Nam’s National Action Plan for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.

In 2024, the Government of Canada—through its Military Training and Cooperation Program (MTCP)—endorsed a new initiative to support cooperation between UNDP and VNMAC in integrating and advancing gender considerations across comprehensive mine action interventions at both national and provincial levels. As a central component of this initiative, Canada will fund the implementation of a dedicated gender analysis of the mine action sector in Viet Nam. This analysis will examine gender dimensions within national and international mine action operators, encompassing both office-based and field-level activities, including survey and clearance operations, EORE, and victim assistance. The study report will identify existing gaps, opportunities, and strategic entry points for promoting more inclusive, equitable, and gender-responsive mine action programming.

The findings of the report will be presented at a multi-stakeholder workshop convened to disseminate results, encourage dialogue among stakeholders involved in gender equality and mine action, and generate practical recommendations. Discussions at the workshop may also contribute to the development of an action plan to support gender mainstreaming in mine action in Viet Nam, along with identifying priorities, institutional responsibilities, and measures to strengthen women’s participation, leadership, and access to mine action services. The workshop is expected to foster long-term collaboration among VNMAC, government ministries, development partners, and civil society to advance gender equality across the sector.

Proposal should be submitted directly in the portal no later than indicated deadline.

Any request for clarification must be sent in writing via messaging functionality in the portal. UNDP will respond in writing including an explanation of the query without identifying the source of inquiry.
