Three representatives from the Yangoru- Saussia District of East Sepik province have joined others currently attending a Market Analysis Workshop in Alotau in preparation for the opening of the Womayen Market initiative in the district. The workshop, hosted by UN Women, will provide the opportunity for the participants to learn from each other's experiences in supporting local markets and women entrepreneurs, allowing them to identify opportunities for growth and development within their districts, Whilst there in the Milne Bay province, the participants will also visit the Alotau Market to allow them to gain firsthand insights into successful market practices and women-led businesses. The Minister for International Trade and Investment and Member (MP) for Yangoru-Saussia, Richard Maru thanked the UN Women for starting this important training. “We realize that a lot of training is needed, not only for the building of the market and its management when completed, but also financial literacy training and other trainings like cooking, sewing, and other skills that will be required for all our mothers and our people to be ready for the first 24-hour market of Papua New Guinea at Womayen along the Sepik Highway,” said the MP. “We are so grateful that we chose to partner the UN Women who have wasted no time in sending the first three representatives from our district to attend the workshop in Alotau. This is the start of training of our people in the Yangoru-Saussia district to prepare them for the Womayen Market.”
