Partners Improving Marketplaces Project
FDC recently held a training session for women market vendors in Suva, Fiji as part of the UNIFEM funded Partner’s Improving Marketplaces Project. FDC project manager Carly Stephan, and Pacific Regional Representative Luse Kinivuwai trained women from Suva, Nausori and Sigatoka markets in team building and how to form associations. It is hoped that as a result of this training, the participants will go on to form their own women market vendors associations and that women’s issues in these respective marketplaces will gain a higher profile and lead to improvements. Here are some photos from the training. More photos from the training session can be found here.
