  • Community Integrated Management Plan Palauli East, Savaii
    Community Integrated Management Plan Palauli East, Savaii 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 Plan is envisaged as the blueprint for climate change interventions across all development sectors – reflecting the programmatic approach to climate change 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.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. 2 ABSTRACT This research argues that the tension evident between western democracy and Samoa’s traditional leadership of Fa’amatai has led to a power struggle due to the inability of the government to offer thorough civic education through dialectical exchange, proper consultation, discussion and information sharing with village council leaders and their members. It also argues that Fa’amatai are being disadvantaged as the government and the democratic system is able to manipulate cultural practices and protocols to suit their political needs, whereas village councils are not recognized or acknowledged by the democratic system (particularly the courts), despite cultural guidelines and village laws providing stability for communities and the country. In addition, it claims that, despite western academics’ arguments that Samoa’s traditional system is a barrier to a fully-fledged democracy, Samoa’s Fa’amatai in theory and practice in fact proves to be more democratic than the democratic status quo.

  • 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.

  • Individuality, Collectivity, and Samoan Artistic Responses to Cultural Change
    The I and the We: Individuality, Collectivity, and Samoan Artistic Responses to Cultural Change April K Henderson That the Samoan sense of self is relational, based on socio-spatial rela- tionships within larger collectives, is something of a truism—a statement of such obvious apparent truth that it is taken as a given. Tui Atua Tupua Tamasese Taisi Efi, a former prime minister and current head of state of independent Sāmoa as well as an influential intellectual and essayist, has explained this Samoan relational identity: “I am not an individual; I am an integral part of the cosmos. I share divinity with my ancestors, the land, the seas and the skies. I am not an individual, because I share a ‘tofi’ (an inheritance) with my family, my village and my nation. I belong to my family and my family belongs to me. I belong to my village and my village belongs to me. I belong to my nation and my nation belongs to me. This is the essence of my sense of belonging” (Tui Atua 2003, 51). Elaborations of this relational self are consistent across the different political and geographical entities that Samoans currently inhabit. Par- ticipants in an Aotearoa/New Zealand–based project gathering Samoan perspectives on mental health similarly described “the Samoan self . as having meaning only in relationship with other people, not as an individ- ual. This self could not be separated from the ‘va’ or relational space that occurs between an individual and parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and other extended family and community members” (Tamasese and others 2005, 303).

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.

  • Coral Reef Inspection of Selected Coral Reefs on Upolu Samoa Following the September 29, 2009 Tsunami
    Coral Reef Inspection of Selected Coral Reefs on Upolu Samoa following the September 29, 2009 Tsunami. Edward Lovell, Joyce Ah-Leong, Lui Bell, Pulea Ifopo, Mikaele Faamai, Juney Ward, Posa Skelton, Brian McAdoo 1.0 Introduction Following the tsunami of Sept. 29 2009, UNESCO International Tsunami Survey Team (ITST) was coordinated by the New South Wales University’s Australian Tsunami Research Centre (ATRC) and the University of the South Pacific arrived in Apia Samoa on October 12, 2009. They were joined by the Government personnel to form the Marine Environmental Assessment Team (MEAT). The team consisted of members from the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (Joyce Ah Leong, Mikaele Faamai); Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MNRE) (Juney Ward, Pulea Ifopo); Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environmental Programme (SPREP) (Lui Bell); The University of the South Pacific (Ed Lovell; Posa Skelton); Vassar College, USA (Prof. Brian McAdoo). The assessment strategy involved the inspection of several sites of over a four day period. The sites chosen were coral reef areas adjacent to the locations of substantial terrestrial tsunami impact. Islands were inspected for beach erosion particularly for turtle nesting sites. Stranded turtles were also documented. Where possible marine protected areas and fisheries reserves were inspected as there was previous data regarding the nature of the marine benthos. As well, the Coral Reef Recovery Planning (CERP) site of Vaovai was inspected in 2006 providing a before appraisal of the tsunami effect. 2.0 Methods Generally there were four approaches to the marine assessment. i) The broad areas were assessed by manta towing.

Time: dengue epi-curve Person: age group & sex Sex No of Cases % Female 1570 48% Male 1685 52% Total 3255 100% Control measures continues... SOURCE REDUCTION remains highly recommended for control of mosquito breeding sites during this rainy season. Other usual prevention methods to avoid illness is also advised. An integrated response has seen communities and organizations work with MOH to use chemical spraying in their respective locations. MOH Samoa continues to advocate and implement control measures for mosquito–borne diseases. Grassroots groups involved in vector control are mobilizing the affected communities to actively participate in source reduction and clean-up campaigns. Vector surveillance and control efforts continue.
