This first Impact Entrepreneurship training kit is to provide trainers, impact mentors, and young entrepreneurs with ready-to-use materials on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), impact entrepreneurship, and relevant opportunities for youth-led impact startups.

The training Kit was developed by Youth Co:Lab Viet Nam, with the support from the Ministry of Science and Technology, Viet Nam Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and KisStartup. It incorporates experiences and lessons learnt from training 350 young entrepreneurs and 110 impact mentors from 29 provinces over four years.

Youth Co:Lab Viet Nam was launched in 2018 by the UN Development Programme, Citi Foundation, and the Ministry of Science and Technology to create an enabling environment and appropriate incentives for supporting young social entrepreneurs and innovators, to accelerate the national achievement of the SDGs. Since 2021, Youth Co:Lab Viet Nam has been implemented by UNDP and Business Forum Magazine, under the Viet Nam Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Co-created in 2017 by the UNDP and the Citi Foundation, Youth Co:Lab aims to establish a common agenda for Asia-Pacific countries to invest in and empower youth to accelerate implementation of the SDGs through leadership, social innovation and entrepreneurship.
