The Women in Fisheries Network – Fiji (WiFN-Fiji) has now officially launched its 2016-2020 Strategic Plan and website!

A celebratory event was held on the 27th October at the Holiday Inn, Suva with old and new friends of WiFN-Fiji attending. Thank you to the Chief Guest Deputy Secretary for Fisheries, Mr Sanaila Naqali for attending and to Fiji Museum for generously attending and displaying fishing utensils from their collection.
