In Fiji, the BPP invited applications from businesses that wish to partner with the Australian government in the following high-potential areas:
- Digital and e-commerce platforms that promote commercial opportunities and enable the increased participation of women as consumers, suppliers or producers. We are particularly interested in ideas that provide business linkages and positive impacts for women in the informal sector.
- Firms offering business services (B2B) that can create new jobs or upskilling opportunities for women
