The convention commenced today and was attended by around 250 participants, including representatives of market vendors’ associations, market management authorities, and representatives from the provincial and local governments from the 14 market locations in Papua New Guinea.
In addition, foreign delegates from Market for Change programs in Fiji, Samoa, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu also attended.
The convention provides a platform for market vendors to reflect on the support they received during the COVID-19 pandemic and ensure they return to pre-pandemic income levels.
