In partnership with the Samoa Business Hub, UNDP Samoa conducted trainings for women market vendors, and equipped them with the necessary digital tools. This made it easier for them to keep business records and track their activities, improving their socio-economic security. This also enhanced their agency in financial decision-making, not only in their businesses, but households as well. The Markets for Change project promotes gender equality through the economic empowerment of women market vendors in Fiji, Samoa, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. It brings together governments, market vendors and market vendor associations, civil society organisations and UN agencies. It is implemented by UN Women in partnership with UNDP and the Governments of Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
