Across Fiji and Vanuatu, many women, job seekers, and small opportunity is often uneven. The pilot helped participants translate basic digital literacy into practical gains: better job readiness, safer online engagement, stronger business promotion, and more disciplined money management. Just as important, many participants are sharing these skills with youth groups, church members, and other entrepreneurs, extending the program’s reach beyond the classroom and building local momentum for digital inclusion.
Respondents were also clear: they want more. Participants said they want advanced training, business management support, coaching, and better access to connectivity, devices, and finance so they can keep building on their gains. The program has demonstrated that community-led digital skilling works in the Pacific. With continued investment, it is ready to scale.
