After 8 years of implementing Project 939 "Supporting women to start businesses", Ha Tinh Women's Union has connected resources of more than 6,400 billion VND, accompanying thousands of members to boldly start businesses and take control of the economy.

Implementing the Project "Supporting Women's Start-ups for the 2017-2025 period" according to Decision No. 939/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister, the Women's Union of Ha Tinh province has proactively advised and synchronously deployed activities to promote the start-up movement among women members in the whole province. The results show that 4/5 main targets of the Project have exceeded the plan, bringing practical results. Many targets exceeded the plan, thousands of effective economic models were formed, and OCOP products owned by women were recognized. The project not only promotes economic empowerment for women but also spreads the spirit of innovation and creativity in the community.

Specifically, more than 521 specialized staff were trained to improve their capacity, exceeding the plan by 135.3%; more than 225,000 members were educated and disseminated about startup knowledge; more than 6,500 women participated in specialized training courses.

In particular, 6,500 students have been trained in production and business knowledge, access to digital technology , livestream sales skills, brand building, etc. Thereby, more than 6,500 economic models with an income of over 100 million VND/year have been formed, 51 OCOP standard products owned by women.

Ha Tinh Provincial Women's Union organizes training on entrepreneurship and business start-up for female members, improving capacity to develop local economic models.

Notably, the Association has supported the establishment of 50 cooperatives and 399 cooperative groups; organized 7 provincial-level startup competitions, of which 431 ideas were realized, 7 projects won Central prizes. The " Women's Startup Day " events have become an inspirational playground, connecting products owned by women closer to the market.

Along with professional support, the Provincial Women's Union also implemented many financial connection activities: signing joint agreements with major banks such as BIDV, Agribank, Vietnam Bank for Social Policies, etc., managing capital of more than 6,400 billion VND to help tens of thousands of women access production capital.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Hai Yen, Director of Hai Yen Oyster Mushroom Cooperative (Huong Binh Moi Commune), checks products at the facility - a typical startup model from Project 939 in Ha Tinh.

Although there are still difficulties such as limited resources, small scale of models, or uneven capacity of the Association's staff, Project 939 in Ha Tinh has left a strong mark on its effectiveness, sustainability and profound impact on women's lives. It not only helps women confidently develop their economy, escape poverty, and become rich legitimately, but also enhances the position of women in the family and society.

With the existing foundations, entering the new phase 2026-2035, Ha Tinh Women's Union aims to build a comprehensive startup ecosystem, promote digital transformation, promote gender equality in the economy and bring women-owned products to the international market.
