Women in the Barana community have long played a central role in supporting their families through the sale of garden produce and handicrafts. Yet, they face significant barriers to improving their livelihoods, as limited access to formal markets, a lack of proper selling spaces, and low financial literacy remain key challenges.
Recognising these barriers, the Pacific Ecosystem-based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC+) project launched a two-day Bookkeeping and Financial Literacy Training on 23–24 April 2025, held at the Barana Community Nature and Heritage Park. The training directly responds to the need for stronger financial management skills among Barana women, equipping them with basic tools in record-keeping and budgeting that can be applied to their market sales.
