Qué funciona en Vietnam

The evidence shows Vietnam has implemented several gender-focused development initiatives with measurable outcomes. Vietnam Women's Union Savings & Credit Groups has disbursed approximately 1.5 million loans to rural women since 1992, with women representing 35% of borrowers in the World Bank-backed Second Rural Finance Program. Vietnam's Land Law requiring joint spousal land titles has been associated with a 10.4% rise in per-capita household expenditure and a 5–6% fall in poverty incidence, though implementation remains incomplete (only 7% of rice-plot titles carried both names as of 2015). Promoting Gender Equality in Political Decision-Making efforts supported 300 women candidates for commune elections in 2016–2017, achieving a 68% success rate, and Vietnam reached 30.26% women representation in its National Assembly by 2021—the first time crossing the 30% threshold—though a gender gap persists in senior roles like the 19-member Politburo (1 woman as of 2021).
