Vấn đề giới nhìn từ góc độ đầu tư ODA của Hàn Quốc tại Việt Nam

South Korea has provided Official Development Assistance (ODA) to Vietnam for more than 30 years. Cooperative projects between the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and the Govern ment of Vietnam began in 1991, one year before the two countries officially established diplomatic relations. Vietnam has benefited from concessional loans with low interest rates as well as non-refundable grants from South Korea, focusing on various fields such as poverty reduction, climate change response, public adminis trative reform, and urban development. Among these, investment projects addressing gender issues, specifically the elimination of gender inequality, the empowerment of women and girls, and enabling them to fully realize their potential, are considered particularly essential. In the current context, as feminist movements are increas ingly emphasized and expanding within the international community, cooperation between South Korea and Vietnam on gender issues through ODA has become even more meaningful.
