15 of the largest companies in the Solomon Islands signed up for up to three commitments to progress women in their Sector.
The three commitments are promoting women in leadership; building respectful and supportive workplaces and increasing opportunities for women in non-traditional jobs.
The Waka Mere Commitment to Action was launched in 2017 by IFC and SICCI and has been a two-year initiative to improve business outcomes in the Solomon Islands through advancing workplace equality.
The initiative has contributed to a shift in employees’ perception of safety and fairness at work; catalyzed companies to adopt new policies and practices, and invest in their future female leaders, and open up skills training and jobs for women in roles traditionally held by men.
