| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | A PPTA will be required to undertake detailed project preparation. Due to ADB's limited engagement in the sector in Samoa and the novelty for stakeholders involved, a two-phased approach is suggested to (i) finalize the overall project concept with the government and the private sector based on selected products and respective analyses, and (ii) carry out due diligences of proposed project strategy as identified in the first phase. | ||||
