The Graduate School of International Studies (GSIS) at Ewha Womans University, in collaboration with the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), successfully concluded the “Capacity-Building for the Vietnam Women’s Union on Foreign Affairs and International Integration in Vietnam” program, which was held from October 26 (Sun) to November 8 (Sat), 2025.
This program is part of the KOICA Fellowship Program, CIAT (Cooperation Invitation Program for Advanced Training), which aims to strengthen the policy planning and implementation capacity of women leaders in Vietnam.
The term “CIAT,” meaning seed in Korean, symbolizes KOICA’s vision of planting seeds of hope across partner countries by inviting government officials, policymakers, and experts from developing nations to Korea for technical training and knowledge sharing. Through partnerships with public institutions, research organizations, and universities, KOICA provides high-quality fellowship programs, and participants play a vital role in promoting Korea’s development experience and cooperative spirit in their home countries.
This year’s program brought together 15 female officials from the headquarters and local branches of the Vietnam Women’s Union (VWU), as well as from the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF). The curriculum included sessions on best practices in women’s policy, strategies and tools for gender mainstreaming, public-private partnership strategies, and action plan workshops. Participants shared insights from Korea’s experiences and explore practical ways to apply them to Vietnam’s ongoing efforts to advance women’s leadership and policy implementation.
Ewha GSIS noted that this program served as an important platform to promote academic and professional cooperation in the fields of international development and gender equality, while contributing to the establishment of a sustainable network of women leaders across countries.
