Happy to be featured in the latest edition of @AtunaNews where our Director General, Dr Manu Tupou-Roosen was interviewed on what the initiative will involve, including our plans for a detailed study into the position of women. #GESI#PIC.
A broader role for women in the management of the Pacific tuna processing sector is the @TunaFFA goal. Its new initiative will help the women working in the canneries to make a career. .#Pacific #GESI #DrManuTupou-Roosen
