Evidence snapshot for Honiara
Honiara's marketplace economy is substantial and female-dominated: ANU research surveyed 189 vendors (84% women) at unregulated community markets generating an estimated US$10–16 million annually, with women earning roughly 90% of that income. Markets for Change has delivered leadership and financial-literacy workshops for 60+ vendors in Honiara and convened a five-province Market Vendors Forum there in June 2024 with 80+ representatives, though the evidence does not quantify uptake or outcomes of these interventions. Internet penetration in Solomon Islands overall rose from roughly 11–12% (2017) to 42.5% by January 2025, following the December 2019 completion of the Coral Sea Cable System and domestic fibre network that connected Honiara, but country-level data masks Honiara-specific digital access.
