Description

Duration of the project is 12 months Expected Starting Date: Immediate Organizational Context & Project Description: United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) assistance to Vietnam began in the late 1970s. Within low middle-income country context, its Ninth Country Programme (CP9) for the period 2017-2021 is aligned with the objectives of the National Socio-Economic Development Plan 2016-2020 and the National Population and Reproductive Health Strategy (2011-2020), the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and other normative frameworks that the Government has committed to. The programme aims at achieving universal access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH), particularly for young people, addressing gender-based violence and harmful practices, strengthening data generation and analysis capacity, and evidence-based policy advocacy. Particularly, it addresses inequalities and emerging vulnerabilities, and ensures application of a human rights-based approach throughout the programme cycle. Project Description: Within the CP9, UNFPA supports the Ministry of Health (MOH) to develop appropriate evidence- and human rights based policies and guidelines to achieve universal access to HPV (Human Papillomavirus) vaccination amongst adolescent girls (to prevent cervical cancer) and modern contraceptives for young migrant workers. Key programme areas are: (ii) generating evidence (research); (ii) policy advocacy; (iii) policy development and (iv) service delivery (based on availability of the mobilized resources).
