Mapping Resources

The mapping will be achieved through a kick-off symposium that will be bring together researchers, practitioners and interested stake-holders to ‘map’ the field of gender and leadership in Vietnam. This mapping work will refer to the policy context, research literature and ‘grey literature’ and will be summarized in a literature review that will be submitted for publication. The mapping process and the assets and resources that relate to it will be archived on here on the EnPOWER website on this page.
