How can you make a difference?

Child marriage and early union remain significant challenges in Viet Nam, particularly among ethnic minority girls, rural communities and poorer households. The prevalence increased from 10.6% in 2014 to 14.6% in 2021, affecting millions of girls. Child marriage is driven by a combination of poverty, school dropout, limited access to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) information and services, and harmful gender and social norms. At the same time, it further exacerbates gender inequality, increases the risk of adolescent pregnancy, limits educational and economic opportunities, and contributes to the intergenerational transmission of poverty. Although Viet Nam has laws prohibiting underage marriage, enforcement is inconsistent and harmful social norms continue to sustain the practice.

Drawing on the nutrition cash plus pilot results and the upcoming profiling study on child marriage, UNICEF Viet Nam plans to assess the feasibility and design of a gender-responsive social protection model aimed at reducing child marriage risks and promoting women’s economic empowerment in Gia Lai and/or similar provinces.

UNICEF is engaging a national M&E consultant to support the development of a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation framework that will guide the monitoring, evaluation and documentation of the intervention’s implementation process, results and emerging results, including through baseline and endline assessments.
