About TFV 2.0
TFV (Trade Finance Vehicle) 2.0 is a collaborative project to build a larger and permanent version of TFV 1.0.
TFV 1.0 is an award-winning whole of ecosystem, market-level intervention in the menstrual health sector in the Pacific. It works through partnerships between enterprises, intermediaries, impact investors, government and non-government organisations. It works by sourcing and financing the supply of input materials for locally owned and operated enterprises that make and distribute reusable pads for women and girls. You can learn more about TFV 1.0 via this post.
You can learn about how TFV 2.0 is building upon TFV 1.0 by reading the concept note that has catalysed the support of the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and project delivery partners Red Hat Impact, Bambino Mio and the International Centre for Participatory Democracy.
Project funder, PacificRISE, produced this short video, which provides great insights about how TFV 1.0 came about and how it operates. The video features many of the women and Pacific enterprises that were the leaders and beneficiaries of TFV 1.0.
The work of TFV 1.0 was also highlighted during ABC TV Australia’s Pandemic Warriors series. The above episode (click here to watch) featured Kaleko SteiFree and its founder Mary Ramosaea, one the Pacific enterprises supported by TFV 1.0.
