'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. They include; 1. Aana 1 College 2. Aana 2 College 3. Nu’uausala College 4. Paul VI College 5. Leulumoega Fou College We respectfully invite the media to be part of our event in providing news coverage for Samoa’s awareness. It is important for us all to continue promoting the importance of Biodiversity and sustainable developments that supports and integrates society, environment and economy. Lastly, we acknowledge the continuous support of our Donor – GEF in financially assisting our Government in the implementation of this initiative for the better development of Samoa.

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.
