  • 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 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.

Implications were found that include the fact that Aganoa Village did not act as a lithic workshop, new types of tools that can be included in the Samoan tool kit, a possible change in subsistence strategies through time at the site, and the fact that five distinct, separate quarries were utilized at different stages through the full temporal span of residential activities at the village.

  • 'IMPRESS Project' And
    “To improve the sustainable and costs-effective utilization of indigenous renewable energy resources for energy production in Samoa” The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment through a collaboration between the ‘IMPRESS Project’ and the ‘2 Million Tree Planting Campaign’ under the Forestry Division; will be conducting a Tree Planting Event on Friday 14th June 2019. It is part of a three (4) days tree planting campaign starting from 12th June (refer to program attached). A tree has various components that are valuable to our communities and the environment. Apart from the ecological services in which it provides, a tree is also considered a source of Renewable Energy as it can produce Electricity. But how? The IMPRESS Project is constructing the very first ever Biomass Gasification Plant at Afolau. It is a technology of its kind which converts stored potential energy contained in trees to electric energy; making Biomass Energy the fifth (5th) source of Renewable Energy available in Samoa. This Gasification plant will assist our electricity sector in meeting its current target goal and Nationally Determinded Contributions (NDC) of “100% Renewable Energy target for Electricity generation by 2025.” By harvesting only invasive species that are available at certain plots of Afolau. The purpose of the Tree Planting event on 14th June is to showcase the various importance of trees and to offset harvest operations which will take place in Afolau. The Tree Planting event will take place at Faleolo Reserve (refer to diagrams attached). Registrations of all participants will start at 9am (refer to program attached). An estimate of 75 students altogether from five (5) Schools will be participating in this event.

It provides a snapshot of the information collected from the Population Questionnaire and some highlights of the Housing Questionnaire. It also provides the final count of the population of Samoa in November 7th 2016 by statistical regions, political districts and villages. Over the past censuses, the Samoa Bureau of Statistics has compiled a standard analytical report that users and mainly students find it complex and too technical for their purposes. We have changed our approach in the 2016 census by compiling smaller reports (Census Brief reports) to be released on a quarterly basis with emphasis on different areas of Samoa’s development as well as demands from users. In doing that, we look forward to working more collaboratively with our stakeholders and technical partners in compiling relevant, focused and more user friendly statistical brief reports for planning, policy-making and program interventions. At the same time, the Bureau is giving the public the opportunity to select their own data of interest from the census database for printing rather than the Bureau printing numerous tabulations which mostly remain unused.

  • Assessment of Persistent Organic Pollutants in Samoa
    POPs Assessment for Samoa Executive Summary Samoa signed the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in 2001 as part of its national and international commitment to the reduction and elimination of persistent organic and toxic substances. Since signing the Convention, Samoa has received an Enabling Activity Funding from the Global Environment Facility to facilitate the development of its National Implementation Plan (NIP) for POPs. Part of the activities for the development of the NIP includes conducting a National Assessment of POPs produced, imported, used and disposed in Samoa. Furthermore, the National Assessment is to identify the priority chemicals and set objectives for the development of the NIP. From the various studies undertaken on POPs in Samoa, it has been identified that eight of the 12 POPs chemicals identified in the Convention are either produced or imported into the country. Of the eight chemicals, three are pesticides (aldrin, dieldrin, and DDT) used as insecticides for taro and banana plantations and chlordane and heptachlor are used as termiticides in homes. One industrial chemical (PCB) was imported as part of electric transformers while two chemicals (dioxins and furans) are produced and released unintentionally from incomplete combustion. An additionally six POPs and persistent toxic substances (TBT, TPH/PAH, lindane, and CCA/PCP) are also present in Samoa. Of all the chemicals currently present in Samoa only dioxin and furans are still being released from unintentional production while the rest are either non-consented for import or alternatives have been found. All the pesticides and industrial chemicals are no longer imported, with the last known stockpiles disposed by the Agricultural Store in the mid 1990s.
