The West Coast Road (WCR) is the country’s main arterial route and is a key infrastructure component of Samoa’s economic corridor that connects the capital and commercial centre of Apia to the Faleolo International Airport and the Mulifanua Wharf linking Upolu to Samoa’s bigger island Savaii. The project is jointly financed by a grant from the Strategic Climate Fund (SCF) and by the Government of Samoa (GoS). The project’s development objective is to: (i) Improve the climate resilience of the WCR; and (ii) Enhance local capacity to develop a more climate resilient road network.
  • Faleata East - Upolu

    Faleata East - Upolu

    Community Integrated Management Plan Faleata East - Upolu Implementation Guidelines 2018 COMMUNITY INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT PLAN IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES Foreword It is with great pleasure that I present the new Community Integrated Management (CIM) Plans, formerly known as Coastal Infrastructure Management (CIM) Plans. The revised CIM Plans recognizes the change in approach since the first set of fifteen CIM Plans were developed from 2002-2003 under the World Bank funded Infrastructure Asset Management Project (IAMP) , and from 2004-2007 for the remaining 26 districts, under the Samoa Infrastructure Asset Management (SIAM) Project. With a broader geographic scope well beyond the coastal environment, the revised CIM Plans now cover all areas from the ridge-to-reef, and includes the thematic areas of not only infrastructure, but also the environment and biological resources, as well as livelihood sources and governance. The CIM Strategy, from which the CIM Plans were derived from, was revised in August 2015 to reflect the new expanded approach and it emphasizes the whole of government approach for planning and implementation, taking into consideration an integrated ecosystem based adaptation approach and the ridge to reef concept. The timeframe for implementation and review has also expanded from five years to ten years as most of the solutions proposed in the CIM Plan may take several years to realize. The CIM Plans is envisaged as the blueprint for climate change interventions across all development sectors – reflecting the programmatic approach to climate resilience adaptation taken by the Government of Samoa. The proposed interventions outlined in the CIM Plans are also linked to the Strategy for the Development of Samoa 2016/17 – 2019/20 and the relevant ministry sector plans.
  • Samoa Visitor Survey

    Samoa Visitor Survey

    Samoa International Visitor Survey January – June 2018 Prepared for Samoa Tourism Authority by New Zealand Tourism Research Institute Auckland University of Technology www.nztri.org October 2018 Acknowledgements NZTRI would like to acknowledge the Samoa Tourism Authority (special mention to Kitiona Pogi, Dulcie Wong Sin, Jeddah Leavai and the broader email collection and processing team) and Samoa Immigration for their support in this ongoing research. This report was prepared by Simon Milne, Mindy Sun, Jeannie Yi, Caroline Qi, and Birthe Bakker. ii Executive Summary This report focuses on the characteristics, expectations and expenditure patterns of international tourists who visited Samoa by air between 1 January and 30 June 2018. The data presented is collected from an online departure survey (http://www.samoasurvey.com/). There were 3,297 individual respondents to the survey (5 % of visitors during the period) - representing a total of 5,899 adults and 1,501 children in terms of local expenditure analysis (the latter figure equates to 11% of all visitors during the period – based on national visitor arrival data from the Samoa Bureau of Statistics). The initial survey period of 1 January and 30 June 2018 acts as a pilot to refine and develop the survey further. During this survey period we registered good responses from all markets with the exception of visitors from American Samoa, this market has therefore been removed from the current analysis. The survey invitation has now been amended to specifically encourage, visitors from American Samoa to complete the survey and the market will be incorporated in future reporting. Three in five (60%) of visitors surveyed come from New Zealand with 23% coming from Australia.

    Stevensoniana; an Anecdotal Life and Appreciation of Robert Louis Stevenson, Ed. from the Writings of J.M. Barrie, S.R. Crocket

    ——; — ! 92 STEVENSONIANA VIII ISLAND DAYS TO TUSITALA IN VAILIMA^ Clearest voice in Britain's chorus, Tusitala Years ago, years four-and-twenty. Grey the cloudland drifted o'er us, When these ears first heard you talking, When these eyes first saw you smiling. Years of famine, years of plenty, Years of beckoning and beguiling. Years of yielding, shifting, baulking, ' When the good ship Clansman ' bore us Round the spits of Tobermory, Glens of Voulin like a vision. Crags of Knoidart, huge and hoary, We had laughed in light derision. Had they told us, told the daring Tusitala, What the years' pale hands were bearing, Years in stately dim division. II Now the skies are pure above you, Tusitala; Feather'd trees bow down to love you 1 This poem, addressed to Robert Louis Stevenson, reached him at Vailima three days before his death. It was the last piece of verse read by Stevenson, and it is the subject of the last letter he wrote on the last day of his life. The poem was read by Mr. Lloyd Osbourne at the funeral. It is here printed, by kind permission of the author, from Mr. Edmund Gosse's ' In Russet and Silver,' 1894, of which it was the dedication. After the Photo by] [./. Davis, Apia, Samoa STEVENSON AT VAILIMA [To face page i>'l ! ——— ! ISLAND DAYS 93 Perfum'd winds from shining waters Stir the sanguine-leav'd hibiscus That your kingdom's dusk-ey'd daughters Weave about their shining tresses ; Dew-fed guavas drop their viscous Honey at the sun's caresses, Where eternal summer blesses Your ethereal musky highlands ; Ah ! but does your heart remember, Tusitala, Westward in our Scotch September, Blue against the pale sun's ember, That low rim of faint long islands.

    Pacific Study (Focusing on Fiji, Tonga and Vanuatu

    1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 Hazard exposure 1.1. Pacific island countries (PICs) are vulnerable to a broad range of natural disasters stemming from hydro-meteorological (such as cyclones, droughts, landslide and floods) and geo-physical hazards (volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis). In any given year, it is likely that Fiji, Tonga and Vanuatu are either hit by, or recovering from, a major natural disaster. 1.2. The impact of natural disasters is estimated by the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Assessment and Financing Initiative as equivalent to an annualized loss of 6.6% of GDP in Vanuatu, and 4.3% in Tonga. For Fiji, the average asset losses due to tropical cyclones and floods are estimated at more than 5%. 1.3. In 2014, Tropical Cyclone (TC) Ian caused damage equivalent to 11% to Tonga's GDP. It was followed in 2018 by damage close to 38% of GDP from TC Gita. In 2015, category five TC Pam displaced 25% of Vanuatu's population and provoked damage estimated at 64% of GDP. In Fiji, Tropical Cyclone Winston affected 62% of the population and wrought damage amounting to 31% of GDP, only some three and a half years after the passage of Tropical Cyclone Evan. 1.4. Vanuatu and Tonga rank number one and two in global indices of natural disaster risk. Seismic hazard is an ever-present danger for both, together with secondary risks arising from tsunamis and landslides. Some 240 earthquakes, ranging in magnitude between 3.3 and 7.1 on the Richter Scale, struck Vanuatu and its surrounding region in the first ten months of 2018.

    Volunteers for ADRA Samoa Photo courtesy of Su’a Julia Wallork. ADRA Samoa SU’A JULIA WALLWORK Su’a Julia Wallwork is the country director for ADRA Samoa. She is a member of the Executive Committee of the South Pacific Division of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, since 2015. Wallwork grew up in the Seventh Day Adventist Church, but in her adult life, strayed for 35 years. Her parents never stopped praying for her, and she believes God answered their prayers, and that is why she is blessed to be where she is today – in the Master’s Service. The Adventist Development and relief Agency (ADRA) Samoa, located in Apia, the capital of Samoa,1 has its office on the compound of the Seventh Day Adventist Church headquarters for Samoa and Tokelau. Samoa became an Independent nation in 1962, after being governed by Germany, Great Britain, and New Zealand. It is an archipelago consisting of the islands of Savaii, Upolu, Apolima, and Manono. The country director is Su’a Julia Wallwork, who has managed the agency since 2009. Because it is mainly project-funded, its staff will vary according to current projects. During the period 2016-2019 it had 31 staff members while at the beginning of 2020 it had 14 ADRA staff. Although the Adventist Church had engaged with local communities through various outreach programs, ADRA only began activities in Samoa after the cyclones Ofa in 1990 and Val in 1991. After ADRA provided clothing, rope, tarpaulins, and AUD$10,000 worth of food and emergency supplies, it began to become known by the public.
