Minister for Women, Children and Social Protection, Sashi Kiran, met with the new Deputy Country Director of the Korea International Cooperation Agency Seoyeun Bang, accompanied by Hankyulsam Cho.

The meeting focused on collaboration for the upcoming Digital Literacy Program for Fijian Women, an initiative supported by KOICA to strengthen digital skills and enhance women’s socio-economic participation in Fiji.

The program aligns with the Women’s Economic Empowerment National Action Plan 2025–2030 and will prioritize improving digital literacy, supporting entrepreneurship, and building institutional capacity.

The program aims to reach women across the Central and Western Divisions, including those in rural and maritime communities and informal settlements.
