Inclusive, effective and representative marketplace groups are created and grow, contributing to gender, social and economic advancement, the elimination of gender-based discrimination and violence and expanded economic opportunities
The intended outcome of creating and growing representative marketplace groups has been achieved, with the creation of a new market vendor association (MVA) in Kadavu, the Vunisea MVA, and the continuous growth experienced by the other 12 MVAs in Fiji, which work towards prioritizing the gender, social and economic needs of market vendors in Fiji. Across the 13 registered Market Vendors Association (MVA), women market vendors hold the presidency positions in eight of the 13 registered MVA. In the 13 registered MVA, at least 50 percent of the women market vendors are in leadership roles. The strong leadership presence of women in market vendors associations (MVAs) in Fiji is ensuring that the voice of women is heard and magnified at all levels, and that workplace barriers caused by gender biases are removed. Moreover, under their leadership, the MVAs have demonstrated good governance, transparency and increasing accountability to the vendors through effective MVA management, and by working to meet their needs. This has included opening up social and economic opportunities for market vendors to actively participate in. MVAs are demonstrating a willingness to continuously improve their provision of services to members by revising and improving their association constitutions. An important revision in constitutions is the inclusion of a provision for a minimum of 60 percent of women holding the executive roles. These constitutional reviews have demonstrated the gender-responsiveness of the marketplace environment in promoting women’s leadership and participation in marketplace politics.
