Agriculture is the mainstay of the econory and comprises two distinct subsectors: the smallholder and commercial. The primary gal of national policy is to increase agricultural production both for domestic consumption and export. The purpose of the Project is to assist the Government in its efforts to increase agri- cultural production through a more efficient utiliz-ation of the country's resources, and to provide increased income and employment oppor- tunities in the rural sector. The Project is designed to help the achievement of these objectives in both agricultural subsectors through the provision of agricultural inputs, infrastructure development and institution building. 2. The Project ints will include assistance to WSTEC, the largest commercial organization: to replant 1,000 acres of senile coconuts and plant 1 000 acres of cocoa under coconuts; fertilize existing cocoa and coconut; provide infrastructure facilities such as roads, fences, transport, storage sheds, drinking water, . livestock equipment and pasture improvement for cattle; expand existing soap processing facilities; replace coffee processing facilities; improve and expand coconut stem utilization facilities; and provide consultants' services for institution building and project implementation. The smallholder subsector will benefit from the Project through inputs to. DOA which is wholly responsible for research and extension for this subsector, for improving its applied research capabilities and extension service at the field level. The Project will provide DOA with research facilities in the major agroecological regions; a national Agricultural Extension Center for in-service training; construction of 21 field extension centers and improvem'ent to two others; provision of trans- port facilities; consultants' services for strengthening staff capacity; and provision of training fellowships for Samoans in agricultural research and extension. The total cost of the Project is $10.8 million of which the foreign exchange cost is $7. 0 million and the Bank' s contribution $3. 0 million. 3. The incremental project outputs at full development on an annual basis are estimated at 1,100 tons of cocoa valued at $2.9 million; 1,400 tons of copra valued at $611, 000; 500 tons of laundry soap valued at $588, 000; 400 tons of toilet soap valued at $1, 310, 000; 400 tons of soap powder valued at $1.9 million; ,Z5O0, 000 board ft of exportable grade timber; 430,000 board ft of .&nce post rmaterials; 90-120 tons of fuelwood and 30-50 tons of charcoal from coconut ster utilization facilities valued at $170, 000; and beef production of 68 tons valu`d at $60, 000. The total incremental annual value of the WSTEC component at full development is estimated at $7. 5 million. The output from the smallholder subsector due to the Agricultural Resear.h and Extetision component, though not easily quantifiable, can be expected to be siubstantial, given the present low productivity in the agricultural sector. With regard to the assumgtions of the Project, besidles the standard provisions and requirements contained in the loan agreements of the Bank, specific assurances were obtained frorn the. Government (para. 134, Pages 41-42) to ensure the successful implementation of the Project: organization of executing agencies; expeditioous dlearance, of imported goods for the Project; position classification of the extension service; appointments to vacancies in technical positions at DOA; and continuation of the Project after the investment period. The achievements and progress of the Project will be monitored through the Bank's operational activities such as review missions, and also the project benefit monitoring envisaged under the Project. 4. The major economic risk associated with the Project relates to th4 World market prices for cocoa and coconuts which are the major outputs of the Project. This risk, however, has been minimized by interplanting cocoa with coconuts which are subject to different market conditions. An institutional risk associated with the Ag.ricultural Research and Extension Component is the capacity of DOA to attract and retain suitable staff for the implementation of the Pr,oject.

In December 1977 the Bank approved a loanEL of $3. 0 million to Western Samoa for the rehabilitation of six WSTEC estates on Upolu Island. 2. In early 1979 the Government requested technical assistance to formulate a project for a second loan to WSTEC tp rehabilitate the other eight eatates. This was approved in October 19793-and three consultants were fielded in November 1979 to update certain aspects of the original feasibility study and to examine product processing in detail. In addition; in response to a request from the Government, the Bank provided two conanlotSs from the International Agricultural Development Service (IADXJ3Y-to examine the National Agricultural Research and Extension Services and to make recommendations for their improvement. A Project Formulation Mission dircussed the consultants' reports with the Government in November/December 1979 and these discussions led to an agreement about the scope of the Project discussed in ihs report. 3. An Appraisal Mission visited Western Samoa from 23 April to 13 May 1980 to appraise an Agricultural Development Project which was to comprise the rehabilitation of the other eight WSTEC E,(ftates and the streagthening of the Department of Agriculture and Forests' (DOA) Agricultural Research and Extension Services. The Mission comprised M. D. Bauche (Mission Chief), R. W. Arnison (Agronomist), N. Amerasinghe (Project Economist), 0. Gendrano (Forestry Specialist) and R. Keswani (Senior

    P O BOX 1151 TELEPHONE: (685)62000/21373 LEVEL 1 & 2 FMFM II, Matagialalua FAX No: (685)24675 GOVERNMENT BUILDING Email: [email protected] APIA Website: www.sbs.gov.ws SAMOA 2016 CENSUS Brief No.1 Revised version Population Snapshot and Household Highlights 30th October 2017 1 | P a g e Foreword This publication is the first of a series of Census 2016 Brief reports to be published from the dataset version 1, of the Population and Housing Census, 2016. 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.

ISBN-10: 0-9876055-0-X ISBN-13: 978-0-9876055-0-4 Lepea That Model Village in Samoa Anne Milbank University of Auckland Nearly one hundred years ago Samoa was invaded by New Zealand—the first territory taken by the Allied Forces from the Germans who had occupied the western islands since 1899. The New Zealand Administration instigated following the First World War, a programme of model villages, but only two were completed. The most well known is Lepea. This paper investigates the social and political influences that brought about the design and subsequent re-modelling of the village that is now considered by the general public to be an outstanding example of Samoan architecture. But how did this imposed village type become iconic? What is currently regarded as an exemplar of the “traditional Samoan village” has another side to it, another story. Polynesians have a different concept of time, place and value to that of the European colonisers. It can be found in the notion of va, which is a relational world distinct from the modernist material world.1 Relationships towards people and the land 1.
