"Progress with your goals" training material

Microfinance has emerged as a crucial tool in empowering women to engage in economic activities, with recent evidence suggesting that outcomes can be improved through tailored curriculums. In the context of a collaboration project between the University of Groningen and TYM Microfinance in Vietnam, we designed a training aimed at enhancing women's empowerment. Our training curriculum aims to empower participants to effectively save and achieve their goals, by focusing on goal-setting, self-efficacy, and communication. Two versions of the training have been developed, integrating either an independent or interdependent framing. This document contains training materials including facilitator guidelines, and the participant handbook, which provide further insights into the framings and session activities.
