Samoa Women’s Association of Growers (SWAG) - Samoa

The impact on travel and trade resulting from border restrictions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 has taken a toll on employment and ultimately household incomes. Women, especially those in the formal employment sector, were seriously affected, particularly in female-headed households.

The Samoa Women's Association of Growers (SWAG) stepped in to provide women growers and farmers of Samoa with opportunities for business, networking, training and education. As a result, previously employed women have been turning to micro-business ventures.
