CKC is honored to be selected as one of the outstanding initiatives under the “Project on Supporting Women-Led Green Initiatives” (PWG), implemented by Oxfam in Vietnam. PWG is a key component of the “Women-led Green Partnership Programme” funded by the European Union (EU), which aims to promote women’s access to decent employment and entrepreneurial opportunities within the green and circular economy, while also strengthening their role in policy-making.
Through the initiative “Developing a women-led, eco-friendly craft village product supply chain serving service and tourism activities in Phong Dinh Ward, Hue City”, CKC focuses on connecting and empowering women from various groups to build supply chains for handicraft products that are culturally rich, practical, aesthetically refined, and environmentally sustainable.
This initiative continues CKC’s mission to enhance the roles and capacities of local women, while promoting sustainable livelihoods through the development and production of craft products for tourism, textiles, and services. We believe that multi-faceted collaboration among local women, government, communities, and women-led businesses is key to building inclusive and sustainable supply chains that drive the green transition at the local level.
The active and meaningful participation of local women is necessary to advancing a green economy, while preserving and promoting the unique cultural heritage of Hue’s traditional craft villages.
CKC remains committed to being a trusted connector and companion in the journey of women’s empowerment and sustainable community development.

From 7 to 9 July 2025, CKC was honored to participate as a panelist in the East Asia – Approaches to Gender Inclusion Workshop held by Australian Volunteers Program (AVP) in Luang Prabang city. The setting provided an ideal backdrop for meaningful reflection and dynamic regional dialogue.
The hybrid event, featuring two online sessions and one in-person gathering, brought together practitioners, researchers, and thought leaders working on gender issues across East Asia. The workshop created space for open and in-depth discussions on how gender inclusion can be more effectively integrated into the missions, strategies, and operations of organizations across sectors.
Participants shared insights, challenges, and practical experiences in promoting gender equity, not just as a policy goal but as a core value embedded in development and institutional practices. From grassroots community organizing to national policy making, the sessions highlighted diverse approaches and tools that are advancing gender-transformative changes in East Asia.
As a panel member, CKC shared its journey of integrating gender equity into the three foundational pillars of its work:
- Consultancy services: Conducting gender-responsive analysis and planning in projects
- Community initiatives: Co-creating inclusive spaces where women, men, and gender-diverse individuals can thrive equally
- Applied research: Generating locally grounded knowledge that uplifts the voices and experiences of marginalized groups
We were proud to showcase how these pathways reflect CKC’s commitment to gender equity, not only as a thematic focus but as a guiding principle that shapes our work, our partnerships, and the changes we strive to create.
This workshop was a valuable opportunity for mutual learning and cross-country collaboration, and CKC remains committed to advancing inclusive development across the region and contributing to a shared vision of equity and sustainability.
