NPA Vietnam Conducts Training on Gender and Diversity in Mine Action

From 28 to 31 October 2024, NPA held initial sessions of the Gender and Diversity in Mine Action training for staff in Quang Binh, Kon Tum and Thua Thien Hue provinces, to build capacity for both operations and office support staff in integration of gender and diversity into their daily field work in respective provinces.

The training is also intended to increase our staff member’s knowledge and understanding of the importance of gender equality and social inclusion. The training was tailored to NPA’s survey and clearance activities in each province and consisted of a mix of expert lectures, discussions and group activities to encourage the participant’s active involvement.
