Strategy

ADB’s Pacific Approach, 2010-2014, which serves as the country partnership strategy for Samoa, aims to deliver sustained, resilient, and improved standards of living for the people of the Pacific. The strategy is aligned with the Strategy for the Development of Samoa (SDS), 2012-2016, which seeks to strengthen economic resilience and encourage inclusive growth through increasing investment in the productive sectors of the economy.

The country operations business plan, 2013-2015, for Samoa is consistent with the country partnership strategy and includes operational priorities in urban development, water and sanitation, energy, and information and communication, while recognizing public sector management and improved private sector environment as key drivers for change. The plan will be supported by regional technical assistance for renewable energy development, public sector management (including state-owned enterprise reforms), and education development.
