Evidence snapshot for Honiara
[Honiara Central Market] is a key site for the Markets for Change programme, where roughly 75–90% of vendors are women and where 60+ vendors participated in leadership and financial-literacy workshops and 80+ vendor-association representatives attended the Market Vendors Forum. However, independent ANU research found that unregulated community markets in Honiara remain largely outside M4C's infrastructure and governance improvements, with 189 vendors surveyed in those unregulated markets (84% women) and an estimated annual market value of AUD 10–16 million, of which women earn approximately 90%. As of January 2025, Honiara and three provincial centres were connected to the Coral Sea Cable System and Solomon Islands Domestic Network, which coincided with internet penetration rising to 42.5% (352,000 users).
