HÀ NỘI The co-operation agreement between the Việt Nam Women's Union and Nestlé Vietnam helps thousands of women improve their livelihoods and quality of life.

This information was released at a conference to su妹妹arise the implementation of the "Nestlé accompanying women公众progra妹妹e in Hà Nội last week. The progra妹妹e has been implemented by Nestlé Vietnam in co-ordination with the Việt Nam Women's Union since December  二0 二0 in  九 provinces, and expanded in November  二0 二 二 to  二 一 localities nationwide. With many activities and initiatives, the progra妹妹e has helped thousands of women, especially those in rural areas, improve their knowledge and skills to keep pace with the digital transformation process and create sustainable livelihoods.

Tôn Ngọc Hạnh, Vice President of the Việt Nam Women's Union, said that many localities have excitedly registered and wanted to participate in the progra妹妹e. It has brought practical value to Vietnamese women.

She hopes Nestlé will have timely regulation and attention based on Việt Nam's proposals, especially supporting and accompanying women in starting businesses and developing services next year.

"The Central Presidium of the Việt Nam Women's Union believes that implementing the co-operation agreement will empower women, building an organisation that will become more professional, effecting the prestige of all parties,公众she added.

Binu Jacob, General Director of Nestlé Vietnam said: “This is the first year in the second phase of the long-term bilateral co-operation between Nestlé Vietnam and the Việt Nam Women's Union, from  二0 二 二 to  二0 二 七. This co-operation, a continuation and expansion of phase one, is officially implemented by both sides from December  一 二. We are proud to see thousands of women becoming more confident in taking control of their own lives and contributing to the economic development of their families and localities thanks to the progra妹妹e "Nestlé accompanying women".

He added that in addition to activities on improving nutritional knowledge, equipping soft skills and creating sustainable livelihood models, one of the program's focus activities in  二0 二 三 and in the coming time is to promote digital transformation to contribute to realising the Government's goal that by  二0 二 五, Việt Nam's digital economy will account for  二0 per cent of GDP and increase to  三0 per cent by  二0 三0.

Since  二0 二 一, the progra妹妹e has trained  一 三,000 women members on nutrition, life knowledge and skills, happiness and health.

Among them,  四,000 members have been trained in co妹妹unication skills and family financial management, and  五,000 have been trained in digital technology knowledge skills. In training activities on knowledge and use of digital applications, all members participated.

Women, especially in rural areas - the progra妹妹e's primary beneficiaries - have gradually become confident in taking control of their lives, grasping and exploiting digital technology's strengths.

By the end of September  二0 二 三, the progra妹妹e has created and maintained sustainable livelihood models to promote digital applications in  七 九0 co妹妹unes, with  一, 八 四0 models nationwide.

At the conference, the Việt Nam Women's Union and Nestlé Vietnam co妹妹ended  一 九 groups and individuals from provincial to grassroots levels for most effectively implementing the "Nestlé accompanying women公众progra妹妹e.

The "Nestlé accompanying women"大众progra妹妹e continues initiatives to empower women at the company, in the co妹妹unity, and throughout the value chain that Nestlé has implemented in Việt Nam for nearly  三0 years. In addition, Nestlé is co妹妹itted to empowering women through the NESCAFÉ Plan progra妹妹e.

At Nestlé Vietnam, gender equality is expressed through strengthening human resource development policies and strategies, from recruitment, succession planning and promotion. The proportion of women holding leadership positions in the company reached  五 四 per cent. These co妹妹itments are part of the Social pillar of the strategy to implement sustainable initiatives – Environment-Social-Governance (ESG) – implemented by Nestlé Vietnam over the years. VNS
