Développement International Desjardins (DID) is a non-governmental organization, part of the Desjardins Group in Canada. The organization was established with the goal of supporting the co-operative credit unions around the world in general and in Vietnam in particular. DID has been involved in many projects to establish and develop the people credit funds (PCF) in Vietnam since 1993.

Since 2016, Co-opBank and DID have jointly implemented the project “Strengthening the People’s Credit Fund Network – STEP”. The STEP project is mainly funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC).

STEP adopted a gender strategy at the beginning of its activities that includes 8 approaches: 4 of them specifically concern increasing Co-opBank commitment to provide gender advisory services to PCFs, 2 of them aim at increasing the PCFs capacity to generate sex disagreed data and gender specific products and services, and the last two approaches aim to develop greater capacity among rural women to make informed financial decisions.

STEP wishes to organize a training program for women employees of Co-opBank which will strengthen their capacity in the implementation of their action plan for gender equality and the advancement of women. Please find the TOR in English and Vietnamese: https://bit.ly/3yMniDA

Interested consulting firms are invited to send their proposals (both in English and Vietnamese) by email only to may.tran-thi-ha@did-step.com clearly indicating the email subject of “Proposal DID2024 – Training program for Co-opBank women employee.”

Deadline: June 16th, 2024, at: 05:00 PM Vietnam time.
