Evidence snapshot for Vietnam
Vietnam has implemented targeted social and financial inclusion programmes for rural women and persons with disabilities. The Vietnam Women's Union has delivered microfinance through village-level savings groups, disbursing nearly 1.5 million loans and financing roughly 10,000 jobs with women representing 35% of borrowers, though rigorous randomised evidence of poverty impacts remains limited. The KV-MAP digital platform registered 90,000+ persons with disabilities for disability certificates and government support across nine pilot provinces, targeting a gap where roughly a quarter of surveyed persons with disabilities had no certificate. However, an independent review found that none of Vietnam's 63 provincial e-service portals met all six basic web-accessibility criteria, and 62 of 63 lacked voice-search functions, indicating significant barriers to digital service access for vulnerable users.
