This report is one of a series of four country reports and one synthesis report presenting findings of rapid gender assessments of selected loan projects financed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in four developing member countries: Indonesia, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, and Viet Nam. This series follows the first round of rapid gender assessments carried out in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Nepal, and Pakistan in 2004–2005. The authors prepared this report under the guidance of Shireen Lateef, director, Social Sectors, Southeast Asia Department, and chair, Gender Equity Community of Practice; Asian Development Bank (ADB); and Sonomi Tanaka, principal social development specialist (gender and development) at ADB. A national dissemination workshop was conducted in Ha Noi on 6 November 2009.

The authors acknowledge the assistance provided by staff and consultants working on the projects in this assessment, including from the ministries and provincial departments of Construction, Health, and Education. ADB team leaders also provided much assistance, including Do Nhat Hoang, Eiko Izawa, Lisa Studdert, and Vincent De Wit. The authors also acknowledge the assistance provided by project gender advisers Nguyen Thanh Tam and Vu Manh Loi and by the Viet Nam Women’s Union in Dong Ha and Ha Tinh, in particular Bui Thi Cuc, chair of the Viet Nam Women’s Union. The authors also thank all ADB staff who provided valuable feedback and comments on the rapid gender assessment report during its development. Aldrin Roco assisted in production.

The authors hope that the report will be useful to governments, nongovernment organizations, development practitioners, researchers, and other individuals working in the field of gender and development.
