MSMEs play a key role in our recovery. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Joseva Tagica, of Natumua Village, Kadavu. His operated a canteen for more than 15 years in Kadavu and lately diversified into bakery. We’re glad to play a part in his journey by providing a commercial mixer
The Panel also discussed areas for improvement and future plans for the 2022/2023 financial year. To learn more visit https://t.co/aHo44xXuH7 or call MSME helpline 163 or send us a Viber message on 9986014.
Since the inception of the YES, we’ve supported 12 young Fijians with creative foresight in turning their ideas into businesses. These Fijians have created 31 more jobs. To inspire #innovation and support more youth, yesterday the Selection Panel met to deliberate applications.
Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of opening Subzero Café & Carwash and Crew Cuts Barber. This is an investment by a group of young Fijians, who’re now business partners.
After 2 tough years, we’re in a place where we can gather and give the due recognition we owe young Fijians. We did so through the Prime Minister’s National Youth Awards. We often look at our youth as leaders of tomorrow. But today, we’re recognising them as the leaders of today.
Was in tourist country all weekend and the contrast between the middle of last year when the #pandemic was new and it’s impact daunting, and now with vax coverage rates high - was so great to experience!
The power of youth! Glad to join the
Entrepreneurial Fair this afternoon at @UniSouthPacific to share a bit on the role of youth in our economic recovery https://t.co/pv54lUJnO8
Some 6 months ago, I spoke on how young Fijians should be empowered and be agile in our recovery. I said this while handing over a $12k @YESFiji grant to a young Rakin Wahed. Today, I proudly join him on his journey in launching the Pasifika Heartbeat App.
@SamsonVerma@YESFiji@SaudMinam@MCTTTFiji We’ve def progressed. Diversity & inclusivity are our core values, looking beyond sectarian paradigms. Gender, sectoral representation, PPP are equally important pillars shaping the Panel’s meritocracy. We’ll continue strengthening representation so youth are guided by the best.
Our youth also shoulder long-term socio-economic consequences of the crisis. Their wellbeing needs to be taken on board in any recovery plans. Our first @YESFiji Selection Panel meeting of the year — exploring more support to young Fijian #entrepreneurs
The Judging Panel of the Prime Minister’s National Youth Awards concludes assessments of nominations. Chair, Ms Jenny Seeto, stated this has been a rewarding experience for the Panel and they’ve discovered the great many admirable qualities of Fijian youth https://t.co/stjN5uV0Tf
The signing of the Trade and Investment Framework Agreement #TIFA, between the USA & Fiji is just the beginning. At the back of this cooperation, Fiji looks forward to an eventual trade deal that facilitates greater market access of #FijianMade products into the US and vice-versa
Seeing so many incredible local crafts reminds us to appreciate all the, often unseen, hard work that goes on behind the scenes. #Fijian talent at #Fiji50 Festival. Tag us in your #FijianMade finds 📸
This week, the @YESFiji Selection Panel, discussed pre-approved and new innovative proposals. These projects are impact-oriented and will go towards our economic recovery. We’ve also confirmed mentorship, to guide credible projects further.
Going digital isn't just an advantage, it’s essential. We're already seeing how businesses moving online are proving to be more resilient. The MOU btwn @MCTTTFiji & @postfijihq will allow local #MSMEs to sell on Post Fiji's #ecommerce platform - connecting them to more consumers
