BACKGROUND Cowater International is seeking to recruit a highly qualified professional as a Tourism Portfolio Coordinator to support the Aus4Equality|Gender Responsive Equitable Agriculture and Tourism (GREAT) Program. GREAT is a flagship initiative of the Australian aid program. The Program promotes women’s economic empowerment (WEE) in the ethnically diverse north-west region of Vietnam, through the integration of a market systems development (MSD) approach. The primary beneficiaries are women living in the provinces of Son La and Lao Cai, while an overarching emphasis is placed on the inclusion of women from ethnic minority communities as these provinces are home to twelve and twenty-six ethnic groups respectively. The objectives of the Aus4Equality|GREAT Program are: EOPO 1: Women, particularly ethnic minority women living in Son La and Lao Cai, have improved economic benefits. EOPO 2: Women, particularly ethnic minority women living in Son La and Lao Cai, have increased confidence and social status, including more balanced workloads and greater decision-making within the home, workplace, and community. EOPO 3: Women, particularly ethnic minority women and household members living in Son La and Lao Cai, benefit from more gender-responsive, inclusive, and effective provincial and national policies, plans, strategies, and programs. Our approach to women’s economic empowerment focuses on: • Reach: Engaging women in all project activities and addressing barriers to participation. • Benefit: Improve women’s access to assets, financial services and support services. • Empower: Strengthen the ability of women to make strategic life choices and put these into action. The program is entering its second five-year phase and GREAT 2 will continue its focus on agriculture and tourism, identifying specific sectors that lend themselves to opportunities for women’s economic empowerment and work with multiple stakeholders to address constraints, generate opportunities, drive market growth and increase productive value of the sector. A limited number of agriculture sectors will be targeted, in addition to tourism. Cross-sector strategies such as women, access to finance, digital transformation, policy advocacy and behaviour change will complement the sector strategies.
