On June 10th 2025, Enda in collaboration with the HCMC Institute of Economic Environmental and Resources (IEER) of Ho Chi Minh City and Tetra Pak Company (funding support) organized an event on KICK-OFF WORKSHOP: “ESTABLISH COOPERATIVE AND ENHANCE SOCIAL INCLUSIVENESS FOR STREET WASTE PICKERS (SWPs) IN HO CHI MINH CITY”.
The event was attended by many parties such as IEER, the Ho Chi Minh City Cooperative Alliance, Dong Tam Cooperative Alliance, Nha Be Cooperative, Companies such as PRO Vietnam, Unilever, Dow Chemical, Coca-Cola, Dong Tien, E-Policy; International/Non-Governmental Organizations such as: IUCN, Yunus Environment Hub. Especially the participation of Streets Waste Pickers in District 8 and Nha Be District, Ho Chi Minh City and the Press.
The event was successful with very active & supportive participants and we do hope that more attention from different stakeholders will be paid to vulnerable groups such as SWPs and independent waste collectors to help them improve their living and working conditions.
