The Pacific Women Regional Learning Forum on Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE) aimed to:
-
Contribute to and build Pacific understanding and knowledge of women’s economic empowerment and approaches.
-
Build on regional research, practitioner expertise and the experiences of women in the region to adapt and improve the Pacific Women approach to WEE.
-
Strengthen relationships between development partners working on WEE and catalyse increased communication and more coordinated action.
The forum brought together a diverse group of: women working in the informal economy, including market vendors, women working in fisheries, agriculture, crafts and dairy; policy, planning and finance decision makers (government, development partners, regional organisations); program practitioners; regional and international organisations; research institutions; civil society and community organisations; and representatives from the private sector.
