As one of the first countries in the world to sign The International Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), Vietnam has been making efforts to ensure economic growth associated with social justice and women's rights. The issue of gender equality has an essential meaning in the development of the rural agricultural economy in Vietnam. Significant advances in women's rights have been recorded in all fields in recent years. However, there are still some problems related to gender equality. The report of "Gender issues in forestry development: Key findingd from a VPA impact monitoring baseline survey in 4 provinces" presents several of gender-related findings in forestry production, which derived from the baseline survey for the VPA-FLEGT’s impact monitoring on households and micro, small enterprises (MSEs) funded by FAO, implemented by SRD and VNGO-FLEGT Network in 2018.
