This assessment examines how gender, diversity, equality, and inclusion (GDEI) are reflected in Viet Nam’s mine action response across governance, regulation, operations, employment practices, and community-facing activities. The objective is to identify strengths, gaps, and opportunities to further align mine action practice with national legislation and policy commitments on equality and non-discrimination, as well as with relevant international standards, while remaining realistic about institutional mandates and operational contexts.

This assessment provides a practical roadmap VNMAC can integrate into the 2026–2045 Programme and forthcoming technical guidance, specifying minimum GDEI expectations across planning, tasking, monitoring, and workforce development.
