The Center for Education and Development (CED) is a dynamic group of experienced scientists, training specialists, educators, and development experts committed to education and development causes in Vietnam. We have built a robust resume to support organizations in improving and delivering communication campaigns, research activities, and capacity building. With experience in two interrelated fields, education and development, CED works collaboratively to achieve set goals with our partners.
What we do
Over a decade, CED has worked with various organizations and institutions to deliver activities for capacity building. CED has managed the development of training materials, facilitation of training sessions, organization of various training of trainers (ToT), and worked with coaches to improve their training methods. CED has delivered our work across Vietnam and has recently expanded our reach internationally, working with countries such as South Korea and Malaysia to introduce various capacity building activities.
CED has built a network of media agencies in Vietnam. Employing this network, CED has created effective communication campaigns, running nationwide adverts to raise awareness on climate resilience, as well as other environment social governance (ESG) issues and via national media outlets.
CED also has extensive experience working with schools, improving social education and awareness of prevalent climate issues. To achieve this, CED has collaborated with schools across Vietnam to provide teacher training, youth and community leader training and support, skill and professional development training for students, and support for scientific research and competitions. Through this work, CED has built a network of youth leaders to target specific communication activities, which have proved to further our message via social media networks.
Development and education issues have been at CED’s core throughout our history. From climate resilience to study tours and exchanges, we have utilized our expertise to support projects in both interrelated fields.
Approaches
CED has a long history of delivering high quality services with our large network of government agencies, local businesses, schools, universities, and media agencies (including national television, radio, and online newspaper outlets). CED works with our partners to provide a comprehensive service that targets key project objectives. To achieve this, CED starts at the core of the issue, conducting research and needs assessments. By organizing focus groups, questionnaires, and policy reviews, CED utilizes quantitative and qualitative methods to understand how policy intersects with the viewpoints of people on the ground.
After developing this integral understanding, CED can then design and build campaigns and effective strategies to target the key issues that arise from research. Whether this is in the form of creating capacity building activities, or by facilitating communication campaigns, CED will use their knowledge and experience to design a project that delivers impactful and actionable measures whilst also leverage their robust national network.
Upon the conclusion of each project, CED provides a comparative study using the research acquired at the beginning of the project to compare with follow-up research to demonstrate the results of the project.
