Vietnam highlights female entrepreneurship as central to its national development strategy, yet this has not been borne out in practice, as women-owned enterprises have been among the greatest economic casualties of the COVID-19 lockdown.

Catalyzing the potential of Afghan girls through formal agricultural education: December 1, 9:30 - 11:00 a.m. EST | Register here
Women and girls make up nearly 70%of the agricultural work force in Afghanistan, yet only 15% of students in formal agriculture education are female, and even fewer are able to realize their career aspirations in the formal sector. With the recent dramatic developments in the country, their future seems even more uncertain. How can national and international actors increase Afghan girls’ and young women’s participation in formal agriculture education and ensure that they take their rightful place in the country’s growth and development?
Building a digital mentoring ecosystem to support young women’s transition to work in India: December 2, 8:00 - 9:30 a.m. EST | Register here
Even as more young women reach post-secondary education in India, women’s labor force participation—one of the lowest in the world—has declined over the past 15 years. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has created new challenges, particularly for young women from marginalized backgrounds looking to develop the skills and networks needed to navigate social norms and thrive in the workplace. How can we build a digital mentoring ecosystem that facilitates skills exchange, network expansion, and role-modelling of gender transformative social norms at scale to ensure that young women from marginalized backgrounds realize their career aspirations and find economic empowerment?
