Project or context description
Vietnam has made impressive socioeconomic progress with gross domestic product (GDP) growing at an average rate of 8%.
European Union’s (EU) bilateral cooperation with Vietnam over the period 2021-2027 builds on the achievements during the period 2014-2020 and focuses on three priority areas:
- Climate-responsive digital circular economy;
- Responsible entrepreneurship and enhanced skills for decent employment;
- Strengthening governance, rule of law and institutional reform.
The 2021-2027 Multiannual Indicative Programme (MIP) for Vietnam addresses critical national challenges while promoting EU’s key external engagement priorities, including green and digital transition, decent and inclusive jobs, good governance, rule of law, human rights and institutional reforms.
The EU-Vietnam TVET (VETVET) project, jointly implemented by the German Technical Cooperation (GIZ) and Expertise France (EF), is a five-year action aimed at improving the knowledge and job skills of Vietnam’s workforce in alignment with climate change mitigation and green and digital transitions. The project has a total budget of 50.9M€ (BMZ: 10.4M€, EU: 40M€, French MEAE: 0.5M€).

The project will support up to 30 Vocational Colleges and Technical Schools (5 of which will be directly supported by EF) on the way to being recognized as High Quality TVET centers. The colleges will be selected through a criteria-based assessment and will receive support to enhance their training capacity through modernization of pedagogical equipment, new curricula, programs for teachers and management… GIZ and Expertise France will develop jointly all planned activities, under the supervision of the Ministry of Education and Training (MoET) of Vietnam.
The project has 3 specific objectives:
- Enhancing governance and coordination among the institutions and stakeholders involved in the TVET sector and the implementation of its policies and strategies.
- Increasing quality and coverage of skills development programmes for young women and men and other vulnerable groups in their diversity in accordance with national and international labour market demands for climate action and green and digital transitions.
