The project focused on finding innovative answers to some of Vietnam\u2019s most pressing water challenges. The central goal was for YWPs to build knowledge, capability and relationships in an exciting, memorable, and innovative way. It also aimed to tackle water challenges through the lens of gender equality, disability and social inclusion (GEDSI).<\/p>\n<p>Thirty YWPs from diverse backgrounds participated in the event, along with a lineup of local and international experts. Over the course of two days participants addressed urgent water challenges in some of the most sensitive areas of Vietnam. Using design-led thinking, the YWPs developed solutions for the Mekong Delta regions, Northern Uplands, and Islands of Vietnam.<\/p>\n<p>Challenges in these areas are particularly acute due to water scarcity and access challenges. Three solutions were developed and tested, which can be further explored by partners in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>This project was supported by, and was a collaborative effort from:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Australian Water Partnership (AWP)<\/li>\n<li>Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT)<\/li>\n<li>Department of Water Resources Management (DWRM)<\/li>\n<li>Other ministries under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><strong>Benef\u00edcios da abordagem\/inova\u00e7\u00e3o<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Capability building:<\/strong>\u00a0The event focused on up-skilling and capability building among YWPs, giving them an understanding of the challenges Vietnam faces. Participants focused on climate change, water scarcity while considering the benefits of GEDSI in solving these challenges.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Problem solving:<\/strong>\u00a0Participants and partners were led through a design-led problem solving approach, focusing on pressing water challenges.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Network creation:<\/strong>\u00a0Foundations were laid to build a YWP network under our partners DWRM and MONRE.
