It supports the government's medium-term fiscal framework (MTFF) through the implementation of the joint policy action matrix (JPAM) on public financial management (PFM) policies and processes, developed by the Government of Samoa and its development partners. The program is structured around four reform areas, including (i) reduction of fiscal drain through SOE reforms, (ii) improvement of procurement systems, (iii) improvement of debt management, and (iv) promotion of resilience to climate change and variability. Subprogram 1 has 10 policy actions while 7 policy actions are proposed for Subprogram 2. ADB will support Samoa through regional technical assistance (TA) projects for SOE reform and public sector management during the program. The ADB Private Sector Development Initiative (PSDI) TA will support a range of private sector reforms under way in Samoa that include assistance for developing a public-private partnership (PPP) pipeline. PSDI will continue support for improving the business regulatory environment. Support for climate change adaptation and mitigation activities will be guided by the ADB climate change implementation plan. All the outputs are fully aligned with the JPAM.Asian Development BankMinistry of FinanceAsian Development BankAsian Development BankEmma Vevehttps://www.adb.org/forms/request-information-form?topic=projects&source=PDS&subject=50210-001 (Closed)&officer= eveve@adb.org&division= Pacific Subregional Office in Suva, Fiji (SPSO)&projectcountry= SamoaSamoa-13.62081 -172.4473PartnershipsPrivate sector developmentInclusive economic growthGovernance and capacity development5000000Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance5000000.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of FinancePolicyPerformanceFiduciaryOutput/s as listed by the project staff.Output: Improved debt management Indicator: Approval by Cabinet of the new MTDS [August 2016].

Complementary policy actions will safeguard the overall fiscal position and enhance the quality of government expenditure (output 2). Structural and governance improvements will support medium-term prospects for economic growth by enhancing the economy's productivity (output 3). Policy actions will also provide opportunities for the vulnerable to make economic growth more inclusive (output 4). Engaging private sector and civil society stakeholders in public policy will be enhanced to deepen local awareness, understanding, and ownership of the ERSP (output 5). The five outputs will progress concurrently under the two subprograms of the ERSP. The ERSP targets economic growth led by the private sector. At the macro level, the ERSP will assist the private sector by supporting aggregate demand and lessening the risk that fiscal stress will bring macroeconomic instability. At the micro level, the ERSP will emphasize ensuring sound public investment, continuing to rationalize state-owned enterprises, improving the performance of those that remain under government ownership, ensuring effective competition in the economy and thorough efforts to modernize the legal framework affecting business.

totaling $26.82 million. The ERSP program cluster aims to assist Samoa's economic recovery and movement to a higher medium-term growth rate, following the double impact of the global economic crisis and the September 2009 tsunami. Subprogram 2 of the program cluster will support improved fiscal management and structural measures that will place the economy on a sustainable medium-term growth path. Budget support will help create the fiscal space to enable raised levels of capital spending over the medium term. This will be complemented by measures that enable targeting of services to protect the vulnerable and by engagement with key stakeholders. Subprogram 2 completes the program reform agenda under the ERSP program cluster. Subprogram 2 is consistent with the strategic focus of the country partnership strategy for Samoa (2008-2012) to address binding constraints to growth, including deficiencies in access to public services and in the quality of public service delivery, and weaknesses in the private sector-enabling environment. Subprogram 2 of the ERSP program cluster supports the government's economic and financial reform program in coordination with key development partners including Australia, the European Union and the World Bank. The national elections, in March 2011, slowed the formulation and implementation of policy and as such proved a challenge to the program cluster. Subsequent to this, the government remains strongly committed to continuing dialogue with development partners. Subprogram 2 loan financing will help meet the Government's overall budget financing needs, particularly given the adjustment costs arising from implementing an economic reform program to place the economy on a sustainable growth path. Structural and governance measures will strengthen prospects for sustaining economic growth over the medium term. Infrastructure will be upgraded and rebuilt amid constant efforts to reinforce fiscal safeguards to preserve fiscal sustainability and sustain the expansion in capital expenditure, while paying special attention to the needs of the vulnerable members of the community and ensuring widespread engagement in the program.Asian Development BankMinistry of FinanceAsian Development BankAsian

Data Source: MOHs' administrative data, including sex-disaggregated data XM-DAC-46004-47358-002-GRNT0654Asian Development BankThe project delivers 4 key outputs: 1. Climate and disaster resilience. As the existing breakwater is inadequate to withstand the impact of future climate change (sea level rise) and the 100-year storm, the project will reconstruct and strengthen the breakwater, to enhance its resilience serve as a lifeline port i.e to operate in the aftermath of disasters to receive vessels carrying aid and emergency supplies. 2.Safety and capacity. Although the port requires about 1.9 hectares of gross container terminal area to meet projected demand by 2035, the current area is only 1.4 hectares due to inefficient flow of container handling due to damaged areas within the terminal area, and sub-optimal location of utilities. The project will repair damaged areas on wharf deck, upgrade lighting, provide appropriate pavement, provide additional reefer capacity, and reconfigure container terminal layout for efficiency. The government has also requested ADB's support to urgently replace one tugboats, which has expired its operational life. 3. Border Security and Trade Facilitation. To enhance border security and facilitate trade, the government intends to upgrade and implement a modern risk-based intelligent customs management system. The project will provide a new container x-ray scanner and new customs examination facility. 4. Gender sensitive green port initiatives. To address the lack of coordinated effort to tackle environmental issues, the proposed pilot of green port initiatives would develop procedures for monitoring compliance and environmental performance. These would be embedded in Samoa Ports Authority's institutional structure.Asian Development BankMinistry of FinanceAsian Development BankAsian Development BankKatherine

Asian Development Bank (ADB) for the Central Cross Island Road Upgrading (the ensuing Project) a priority investment in transport sector. Samoa's land transport depends on key arterial roads that serve the two main islands, Upolu where capital Apia is located, and Savai'i. Upolu is served by three cross-island roads strategically located at the eastern, western, and central sections. The Central Cross Island Road is the key arterial road connecting West Coast Road in Apia with the South Coast Road in Siumu. The project road is 19.70 kilometers (km) that provides access to 8 villages to the capital, Apia. The existing two-lane narrow carriageway (4 meters-5 meters) road with surface seal carrying up to 6,000 average daily traffic (ADT) along first 5 km, and up to 1,500 ADT thereafter, is unsafe for road users and in need of upgrading. The project will also improve institutional capacity of executing and implementing agencies to plan, execute and maintain investment projects and will provide support to the Ministry of Natural Resource and Environment (MNRE) to improve their capacity in updating the current cadastral system.Asian Development BankMinistry of FinanceAsian Development BankAsian Development BankRustam Ishenalievhttps://www.adb.org/forms/request-information-form?topic=projects&source=PDS&subject=51268-001 (Active)&officer= acerelala@adb.org&division= Pacific Subregional Office in Suva, Fiji (SPSO)&projectcountry= SamoaSiumu Village-14.00943 -171.77682Apia-13.83333 -171.76666Tackling climate change, building climate and disaster resilience, and enhancing environmental sustainabilityAddressing remaining poverty and reducing inequalitiesAccelerating progress in gender equalityStrengthening governance and institutional capacityMaking cities more livableGovernance and capacity developmentEnvironmentally sustainable growthKnowledge solutionsPartnershipsInclusive economic growthPrivate sector developmentEffective gender mainstreaming (EGM)40000000Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance578816.83Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance-578816.83Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance33241.52Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance146323.40Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance255335.28Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance404985.14Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance375359.97Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance77707.23Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance127714.49Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance1149205.22Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance686080.46Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance50244.08Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance151354.15Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance373587.44Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance326075.76Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance278947.83Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance354170.27Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance153796.82Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance429497.34Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance49115.99Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance476170.13Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance224795.64Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance140092.84Asian Development BankMinistry of FinancePerformanceFiduciaryOutput/s as listed by the project staff.Output: Central Cross Island Road upgraded and made safer Indicator: 8.4 km of footpaths Achievement: 0 Data Source: Project quarterly and completion reports prepared by LTAOutput: Central Cross Island Road upgraded and made safer Indicator: 20 km two-lane road upgraded and climate-proofed to average operating speed of 55 kilometer/hour Achievement: 0 Progress/Status: CW-1A civil works package: The advertisement for CW-1A was posted on 26 June 2026.

It will support policy actions strengthening resilience to disasters and provide a source of financing for timely emergency response and early recovery. The program is the third phase of the Pacific Disaster Resilience Program; the first phase was approved in December 2017 for Samoa, Tonga, and Tuvalu, and the second phase in September 2019 for FSM, RMI, Solomon Islands, and Tonga. In addition, ADB set up country-specific CDF programs for Cook Islands and Palau. Phase 3 will provide (i) another round of financing for (a) countries that drew down their CDF programs for the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic (the Cook Islands, FSM, RMI, Palau, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga); and (b)Tuvalu, which drew down the funds in February 2020 in response to Cyclone Tino; and (ii) CDF for the first time for Kiribati and Vanuatu.Asian Development

The existing facility was completed in December 2015. The project sponsor has already invested about $3.5 million for the construction of the existing solar farm that has generated approximately $1.7 million in revenues since starting operations. An independent power producer, Sun Pacific Energy Limited, is the owner and operator of the plant. The plant currently sells 3.5 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of solar power per year to EPC, the national utility company. With the proposed expansion, the energy yield is expected to increase up to 6 million kWh per year.

Due diligence will cover technical, economic, financial, safeguards, gender, climate change, and integrity of the ensuing projects; (ii) the preparation of detailed engineering designs for civil works components, which will integrate any measures needed to (a) promote resilience to climate change and disasters triggered by natural hazards, (b) support gender equality outcomes including women's economic empowerment through improved access to markets and employment, improved access to services (e.g., healthcare, schools), reducing women's time poverty and ensuring safe and inclusive road networks. The project will also support the executing and implementing agencies in conducting strategic procurement planning and bidding process for advance procurement activities. The capacity of the executing and implementing agencies to prepare and implement the PRF and the ensuing projects will be strengthened with the establishment of a project management unit (PMU) within the Land Transport Authority (LTA).

The tertiary objective is to install a hydropower capacity of 0.60 MW, generating 2.12 GWh of clean electricity. The project will support the government's 70% renewable energy target for electricity generation by 2031. The project will enhance non-physical flood management systems and capacity and the biodiversity conservation and management capacity associated with the proposed dam development.Asian Development BankMinistry of FinanceAsian Development BankAsian Development BankWilson, Geoffreyhttps://www.adb.org/forms/request-information-form?topic=projects&source=PDS&subject=52111-001 (Approved)&officer= gwilson@adb.org&division= Agriculture, Food, Nature, and Rural Development Sector Office (SG-AFNR)&projectcountry= SamoaSamoa-13.8 -172.13333Effective gender mainstreaming (EGM)Addressing remaining poverty and reducing inequalitiesAccelerating progress in gender equalityTackling climate change, building climate and disaster resilience, and enhancing environmental sustainabilityMaking cities more livablePromoting rural development and food securityStrengthening governance and institutional capacityFostering regional cooperation and integration99700000Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance1250000.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance217383.20Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance49000.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance8500.00Asian Development BankMinistry of FinancePerformanceFiduciaryOutput/s as listed by the project staff.Output: Management and capacity on flood management and biodiversity conservation enhanced Indicator: (i) A comprehensive flood management plan for Apia city developed; (ii) development control and flood drainage management strengthened; (iii) hydro-meteorological monitoring, forecasting, and disaster early warning systems upgraded; and (iv) community-based planning, preparedness, response, and evacuation and recovery actions with the local communities (30% women's participation) developed.

It supports the countries in (i) pooling the procurement of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV), and the rotavirus vaccine through the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF); (ii) strengthening primary health care and the capacity to deliver vaccination programs; and (iii) increasing community awareness and the population's knowledge of and attitude toward vaccines. The project will reduce the burden and minimize outbreaks related to vaccine-preventable diseases, integrate immunization programs into broader health systems, and improve access to primary health services. As a response to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the governments of Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu have been preparing for the imminent arrival of COVID-19 vaccines, and have requested additional financing from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to further strengthen immunization programs and prepare for the vaccine rollout. The additional financing will build on the original project to support the four governments in meeting their urgent needs.Asian Development BankMinistry of FinanceMinistry of Finance & Economic ManagementMinistry of Finance and Economic DevelopmentMinistry of Finance, Commerce, Trade & TourismAsian Development BankAsian Development BankLam, Ki Fung Kelvinhttps://www.adb.org/forms/request-information-form?topic=projects&source=PDS&subject=50282-001 (Active)&officer= klam@adb.org&division= Human and Social Development Sector Office (SD3-HSD)&projectcountry= RegionalVanuatu-15.34968 167.0802Tonga-21.16245 -175.2752Tuvalu-7.470469 178.6715Samoa-13.62081 -172.4473Inclusive economic growth Regional integrationGender Equity and Mainstreaming Governance and capacity development Knowledge solutions PartnershipsGender Equity and Mainstreaming8000000Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance153190.95Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance433750.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance226216.17Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance-226216.17Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of Finance0.00Asian Development BankMinistry of FinancePerformanceFiduciaryOutput/s as listed by the project staff.Output: Community awareness improved Indicator: 50% women participation and disaggregated by type (radio, print, and social media) Data Source: Project records Actual value: Output: Community awareness improved Indicator: Demand Generation: At least two health promotion activities with gender-equity considerations on adolescent reproductive health and public health in Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu completed, with 50% women participation and disaggregated by type (radio, print, and social media), by 2026 (2018 baseline: 0) Achievement: 8 Progress/Status: At least two health promotion activities have been conducted for the three new vaccines as well as for COVID-19 vaccine introduction.

The Solar Farm is located at the Faleolo International Airport and was Samoa's first independent solar power producer project. The energy from the Solar Farm is sold to Samoa's state-owned utility (EPC). The Solar Farm will be upgraded from 4.2MW (AC) to a total installed capacity of 6.0MW(AC) by replacing all older, less efficient ReneSola 305Wp panels (installed in 2014) and a portion of the YingLi 350Wp panels (installed in 2018 with ADB financing) with newer, high efficiency 625Mp JA Solar bifacial panels. This upgrade is expected to increase the Solar Farm's generation capacity from the current estimated 6.2 GWh/year to approximately 9.6 GWh/year, supporting Samoa's renewable energy targets.Asian Development BankSun Pacific Energy LimitedAsian Development BankAsian Development BankSatitpatanapan, Pinnapahttps://www.adb.org/forms/request-information-form?topic=projects&source=PDS&subject=58247-001 (Approved)&officer= psatitpatanapan@adb.org&division= Infrastructure Finance Division 2&projectcountry= SamoaUpolu-13.91893 -171.7582Samoa-13.8 -172.13333Faleolo-13.48333 -172.78333Some gender elements (SGE)2800000Asian Development BankSun Pacific Energy Limited0.00Asian Development BankSun Pacific Energy Limited0.00Asian Development BankSun Pacific Energy Limited0.00Asian Development BankSun Pacific Energy Limited0.00Asian Development BankSun Pacific Energy Limited0.00Asian Development BankSun Pacific Energy Limited0.00Asian Development BankSun Pacific Energy Limited0.00Asian Development BankSun Pacific Energy Limited0.00Asian Development BankSun Pacific Energy Limited0.00Asian Development BankSun Pacific Energy Limited0.00Asian Development BankSun Pacific Energy Limited0.00Asian Development BankSun Pacific Energy Limited0.00Asian Development BankSun Pacific Energy Limited45383.46Asian Development BankSun Pacific Energy Limited0.00Asian Development BankSun Pacific Energy Limited0.00Asian Development BankSun Pacific Energy Limited51406.33Asian Development BankSun Pacific Energy Limited0.00Asian Development BankSun Pacific Energy Limited0.00Asian Development BankSun Pacific Energy Limited51546.87Asian Development BankSun Pacific Energy Limited0.00Asian Development BankSun Pacific Energy Limited54959.88Asian Development BankSun Pacific Energy Limited0.00Asian Development BankSun Pacific Energy LimitedPerformanceFiduciaryOutput/s as listed by the project staff.Status of Operation/Construction: Stage 1 is already in implementation by SPEL.
