GIZ advises the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE) on achieving its goals in energy cooperation with the Energy Partnership countries through the global project Energy Partnerships. The Energy Partnerships are one of the central instruments of the German government’s foreign energy policy strategy. The Vietnamese-German Energy Partnership acts as a dialog platform for bilateral exchange in the energy sector for actors from both countries in politics, business, civil society, and research.
Empowering women working in the energy sector is a particularly important aspect of the Energy Partnership (EP). The Vietnamese-German Energy Partnership supports networking and exchange among female energy experts and increases their visibility through the establishment and operation of the Women in Energy Viet Nam Network (WEVN).
Also, within the framework of the GIZ Energy Support Programme, the project “Implementation of the International Hydrogen Ramp-up Program” (H2Uppp) in Viet Nam, on behalf of the BMWE promotes green hydrogen and Power-to-X projects in Viet Nam through public-private partnerships with industry.
