Hochiminh City Women's Union (HCMC WU) is a mass organisation with a very strong downstream network. It provides access to different types of credit funds (WU, NEP, etc.). They run two programmes called Women Entrepreneurship and Mutual Assistance for Household Economy Development to help WU members improve their economic situation. As a result, 11 women entrepreneur clubs were established and activities take place on a regular basis. 37 facilitators have been trained and certified by SIYB Project since July 1999. SYB courses are delivered at the district level. They use the standard programme in the urban districts and the rural adaptation in the farming outskirts of Hochiminh City. |
