Port Development Project for Project Design Advance Apia Port is increasingly vulnerable to sea swell, which impacts the safety of vessel operations during wet seasons. A Ports Development Master Plan study assessed various options to improve Apia Port's capacity and operation.  To enhance safety and capacity, the study recommended extension of the existing breakwater, enlargement of the turning basin, and reconfiguration of the port area to enhance port operating efficiency. In addition, the government has also requested the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to support additional scope to install a cargo X-ray facility to enhance security, facilitate efficiency in customs inspections, thereby promoting trade facilitation. Together, these measures would facilitate international trade at Apia Port and provide sufficient capacity to meet forecast port demand until 2035.

To obtain more robust cost estimates and to enhance project readiness, the government requested for a Project Design Advance (PDA) facility to (i) prepare the detailed engineering designs for the breakwater extension and rehabilitation, realignment of the navigation channel (if necessary), land-based improvements within Apia Port, and a cargo examination facility to accommodate a proposed mobile container X-ray scanner; and (iii) assist the government in procuring civil works under the ensuing project.
Strengthening Macroeconomic Resilience Program (Subprogram 1) The program will help the Government of Samoa implement reforms to restore fiscally sustainable growth led by the private sector, which has been adversely affected by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The program will (i) strengthen macro-fiscal resilience through better planning, targeting of reforms, and management of state-owned enterprise financing and risks; (ii) support inclusive private sector growth through improved labor market protections, business regulation, and management of foreign investment; and (iii) enhance financial market development and financial inclusion through improved planning, regulation, and transparency.

The program will be financed through two policy-based grants of $7.5 million each, to be implemented during fiscal year (FY) 2023 and FY2024. The program builds on reforms supported by previous Asian Development Bank (ADB) programs and financial support provided for COVID-19 response.  The program was developed in collaboration with the World Bank and the governments of Australia and New Zealand, and in regular consultation with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Sanitation and Drainage Project Supplementary Loan The overall objective of the Project is to help improve Apia's environment and public health through improved drainage and sanitation infrastructure and capacity in urban management. Project objectives include (i) improved public health, (ii) improved environmental quality, (iii) improved surface and groundwater quality, and (iv) reduced frequency of flooding in specific low-lying areas. The Project also promotes private sector participation in the provision of urban services through the outsourcing of certain utility services to the private sector and further promotes private sector development through provision of improved urban infrastructure and environment for businesses.
Samoa AgriBusiness Support Project The project will promote commercializing and exporting agricultural produce and processed products along agro-value chains to stimulate agriculture's role in economic growth and poverty reduction in Samoa. It will provide business support services and financing to agribusinesses.
Samoa Submarine Cable Project The proposed project will improve international broadband connectivity of Samoa. The proposed project focuses on building a submarine cable system (SCS) connecting Samoa to regional and global communications infrastructure.
Tropical Cyclone Emergency Response Project Tropical cyclone Evan significantly impacted Samoa from 13-14 December 2012 causing widespread destruction across both Upolu and Savai?i islands. On the main island of Upolu, flash flooding brought about extensive damage to the urban center and suburbs along the river banks. The southern and south eastern coastal areas of Upolu were flattened. The tropical cyclone claimed five lives in total with 12 persons reported missing.  At the height of the storm, 7,739 people (4% of the total population) took shelter in 34 evacuation centers and churches throughout the country. 

The Samoa National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) completed ground assessments for flood affected areas in and around Apia, the capital of Samoa, and for the east coast of Upolu Island. Following these initial assessments, the damage to homes was described as considerable, with 421 houses completely destroyed and 1,059 damaged (equivalent to 6.4% of households).  Seven schools were completely destroyed, nine have incurred major damage and 35 have sustained minor damages. The main water supply for Apia as well as for central and eastern districts was damaged. Power was restored to Government Buildings, the Apia Central Business District and other areas of Upolu Island. Initial assessments from the island of Savai?i described the damage to homes and infrastructure as minimal with much of the damage in these areas confined to plantations and forestry. 

A state of emergency for 30 days was proclaimed on 17 December 2012. Initial damage and needs assessments was undertaken indicating damages over $125 million (equivalent to 18% of the gross domestic product). To supply a wide variety of essential needs to people affected by the disaster, including items such as food, clean water, clothing and medical supplies.
Power Sector Expansion Project The Project supports the Government's overarching objective of providing sustainable and reliable electricity services to all consumers at cost-efficient prices. The Project will improve the capacity of the power sector to meet growing electricity demand and improve quality, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of power supply by (i) improving the financial performance of EPC, (ii) supporting EPC's investment plan to meet growing demand, (iii) improving the operational efficiency of EPC, and (iv) establishing effective regulation of the power sector.
Fiscal Resilience Improvement Program, Subprogram 1 The policy-based program is designed to improve Samoa's macroeconomic stability and to strengthen the country's fiscal resilience. It supports the government's medium-term fiscal framework (MTFF) through the implementation of the joint policy action matrix (JPAM) on public financial management (PFM) policies and processes, developed by the Government of Samoa and its development partners.

The program is structured around four reform areas, including (i) reduction of fiscal drain through SOE reforms, (ii) improvement of procurement systems, (iii) improvement of debt management, and (iv) promotion of resilience to climate change and variability. Subprogram 1 has 10 policy actions while 7 policy actions are proposed for Subprogram 2. ADB will support Samoa through regional technical assistance (TA) projects for SOE reform and public sector management during the program. The ADB Private Sector Development Initiative (PSDI) TA will support a range of private sector reforms under way in Samoa that include assistance for developing a public-private partnership (PPP) pipeline.  PSDI will continue support for improving the business regulatory environment. Support for climate change adaptation and mitigation activities will be guided by the ADB climate change implementation plan.  All the outputs are fully aligned with the JPAM.
Renewable Energy Development and Power Sector Rehabilitation Project The project will support the government's policy to increase power generation from renewable sources, rehabilitate damage to the power sector caused by a major cyclone, and increase the power sector's resilience to future natural disasters. It will rehabilitate three small hydropower plants (SHPs) on Upolu and construct three new SHPs on Upolu and Savai'i. The project will also provide training to the Electric Power Corporation (EPC) on operation and maintenance (O&M) of the SHPs for up to two years after plant commissioning. The project will result in greater energy security and sustainability for Samoa.
Central Cross Island Road Upgrading Project The Government of Samoa requested assistance from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for the Central Cross Island Road Upgrading (the ensuing Project) a priority investment in transport sector. Samoa's land transport depends on key arterial roads that serve the two main islands, Upolu where capital Apia is located, and Savai'i. Upolu is served by three cross-island roads strategically located at the eastern, western, and central sections. The Central Cross Island Road is the key arterial road connecting West Coast Road in Apia with the South Coast Road in Siumu. The project road is 19.70 kilometers (km) that provides access to 8 villages to the capital, Apia. The existing two-lane narrow carriageway (4 meters-5 meters) road with surface seal carrying up to 6,000 average daily traffic (ADT) along first 5 km, and up to 1,500 ADT thereafter, is unsafe for road users and in need of upgrading. The project will also improve institutional capacity of executing and implementing agencies to plan, execute and maintain investment projects and will provide support to the Ministry of Natural Resource and Environment (MNRE) to improve their capacity in updating the current cadastral system.
Solar Power Development The proposed financing of up to $3 million will expand an existing 2.2MW  solar farm that has been in operation since April 2015.  The existing facility was completed in December 2015. The project sponsor has already invested about $3.5 million for the construction of the existing solar farm that has generated approximately $1.7 million in revenues since starting operations. An independent power producer, Sun Pacific Energy Limited, is the owner and operator of the plant. The plant currently sells 3.5 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of solar power per year to EPC, the national utility company. With the proposed expansion, the energy yield is expected to increase up to 6 million kWh per year.
Economic Recovery Support Program - Subprogram 2 The Samoa ERSP is a program cluster of two subprogram loans totaling $26.82 million. The ERSP program cluster aims to assist Samoa's economic recovery and movement to a higher medium-term growth rate, following the double impact of the global economic crisis and the September 2009 tsunami. Subprogram 2 of the program cluster will support improved fiscal management and structural measures that will place the economy on a sustainable medium-term growth path. Budget support will help create the fiscal space to enable raised levels of capital spending over the medium term. This will be complemented by measures that enable targeting of services to protect the vulnerable and by engagement with key stakeholders.

Subprogram 2 completes the program reform agenda under the ERSP program cluster. Subprogram 2 is consistent with the strategic focus of the country partnership strategy for Samoa (2008-2012) to address binding constraints to growth, including deficiencies in access to public services and in the quality of public service delivery, and weaknesses in the private sector-enabling environment. Subprogram 2 of the ERSP program cluster supports the government's economic and financial reform program in coordination with key development partners including Australia, the European Union and the World Bank. The national elections, in March 2011, slowed the formulation and implementation of policy and as such proved a challenge to the program cluster. Subsequent to this, the government remains strongly committed to continuing dialogue with development partners. 

Subprogram 2 loan financing will help meet the Government's overall budget financing needs, particularly given the adjustment costs arising from implementing an economic reform program to place the economy on a sustainable growth path. Structural and governance measures will strengthen prospects for sustaining economic growth over the medium term. Infrastructure will be upgraded and rebuilt amid constant efforts to reinforce fiscal safeguards to preserve fiscal sustainability and sustain the expansion in capital expenditure, while paying special attention to the needs of the vulnerable members of the community and ensuring widespread engagement in the program.
COVID-19: Health Expenditure and Livelihoods Support Program The Samoa Health Expenditure and Livelihoods Support (HEALS) Program is part of an integrated package of Asian Development Bank (ADB) support to help the country’s short-term efforts to mitigate the severe socioeconomic impacts and manage potential health impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Enhancing Safety, Security, and Sustainability of Apia Port Project The project delivers 4 key outputs:
1. Climate and disaster resilience. As the existing breakwater is inadequate to withstand the impact of future climate change (sea level rise) and the 100-year storm, the project will reconstruct and strengthen the breakwater, to enhance its resilience serve as a lifeline port i.e to operate in the aftermath of disasters to receive vessels carrying aid and emergency supplies. 
2.Safety and capacity. Although the port requires about 1.9 hectares of gross container terminal area to meet projected demand by 2035, the current area is only 1.4 hectares due to inefficient flow of container handling due to damaged areas within the terminal area, and sub-optimal location of utilities. The project will repair damaged areas on wharf deck, upgrade lighting, provide appropriate pavement, provide additional reefer capacity, and reconfigure container terminal layout for efficiency. The government has also requested ADB's support to urgently replace one tugboats, which has expired its operational life. 
3.	Border Security and Trade Facilitation. To enhance border security and facilitate trade, the government intends to upgrade and implement a modern risk-based intelligent customs management system. The project will provide a new container x-ray scanner and new customs examination facility. 
4.	Gender sensitive green port initiatives. To address the lack of coordinated effort to tackle environmental issues, the proposed pilot of green port initiatives would develop procedures for monitoring compliance and environmental performance. These would be embedded in Samoa Ports Authority's institutional structure.
Schoolnet and Community Access Project The SchoolNet and Community Access Project (the Project) will help the Government of Samoa (the Government) develop the capacity of relevant divisions of the Ministry of Education, Sports, and Culture (MESC), as well as of teachers and students from all government and mission secondary schools, in information and communications technology (ICT) competencies. The Project will complement and expand Education Sector Project II 2006-2012 (ESP II) activities to include ICT competencies and best practices for developing and using e-learning resources in classroom teaching and learning processes. This will enhance the quality of education and cost-effectively improve student learning outcomes in six academic subjects aligned to the ESP II priorities of mathematics and science. It will also support the Government's efforts to improve the overall efficiency of the education sector and help to develop management models and partnership arrangements to ensure the sustainability of the project outcomes. The Project will foster the use of the Internet, where possible, and communication among schools domestically and internationally. The Government, through its Samoa Development Strategy 2005-2007 (SDS) and Strategic Policies and Plan July 2006-June 2015 (SPP), is fully committed to achieving efficiency and quality goals in education and aligning the education sector with the national ICT strategy. 

The Project will have four main components: (i) improving the quality of teaching and learning in secondary schools; (ii) improving access to education through ICT; (iii) establishing the Community Access Program and developing its partnerships; and (iv) strengthening education management and coordination, including improving analyses of economic efficiency, equity, and sustainability.

The Project will be implemented in two stages. This will allow the Government to assess the impact of SchoolNet and ICT on learning outcomes and postsecondary employment, and will contribute to strengthening the research and evaluation capacity of MESC.
Public Sector Financial Management Program The program is designed to improve the Government of Samoa’s (government) capacity in public financial management and to strengthen the country’s resilience to external shocks by supporting the government’s medium-term fiscal framework (MTFF) and the joint policy action matrix (JPAM) on public financial management policies and processes, developed by the government and its development partners.
Land Transport Sector Development Project The PRF will support (i) the preparation of a feasibility study including due diligence. Due diligence will cover technical, economic, financial, safeguards, gender, climate change, and integrity of the ensuing projects; (ii) the preparation of detailed engineering designs for civil works components, which will integrate any measures needed to (a) promote resilience to climate change and disasters triggered by natural hazards, (b) support gender equality outcomes including women's economic empowerment through improved access to markets and employment, improved access to services (e.g., healthcare, schools), reducing women's time poverty and ensuring safe and inclusive road networks. The project will also support the executing and implementing agencies in conducting strategic procurement planning and bidding process for advance procurement activities. 

The capacity of the executing and implementing agencies to prepare and implement the PRF and the ensuing projects will be strengthened with the establishment of a project management unit (PMU) within the Land Transport Authority (LTA). The PMU will enable the timely start-up and preparation of the ensuing projects and, through support from consultants, provide on-the-job training and knowledge transfer to the executing and implementing agencies, including exploring capacity development for gender-inclusive human resource policies, gender targets for capacity building, and other measures to enhance benefits for women and contribute to gender equality. The PRF will finance the establishment of the PMU.
Education Sector Project II The objective of the Project is to establish an equitable and effective education system that will enhance learning outcomes of young people for further study, work and adult life. The specific outcome will be enhanced quality of education by improving the curriculum, assessment system, learning materials, teaching practice and access to better learning environment. The Project has five components: (i) introducing curriculum reform and
assessment systems; (ii) developing effective teachers; (iii) improving access to quality education; (iv) strengthening capacity to undertake research, evaluation, policy analysis, and planning; and (v) strengthening capacity to implement and manage development projects. The Project is designed to establish a learning environment that provides all children with an equal opportunity to learn at a higher level, while increasing the cost-effectiveness of service provision. The Project will contribute to eliminating inequity by minimizing regional disparities in access to quality education, and promoting equitable learning outcomes. Improving access to quality primary and secondary education in poor communities is expected to reduce income deprivation and hardship.
Economic Recovery Support Program (Subprogram 1) The Economic Recovery Support Program (ERSP) provides for elevated government capital expenditure to undertake post-tsunami reconstruction and provide a short-term boost to economic activity (output 1). Complementary policy actions will safeguard the overall fiscal position and enhance the quality of government expenditure (output 2). Structural and governance improvements will support medium-term prospects for economic growth by enhancing the economy's productivity (output 3). Policy actions will also provide opportunities for the vulnerable to make economic growth more inclusive (output 4). Engaging private sector and civil society stakeholders in public policy will be enhanced to deepen local awareness, understanding, and ownership of the ERSP (output 5). The five outputs will progress concurrently under the two subprograms of the ERSP. The ERSP targets economic growth led by the private sector. At the macro level, the ERSP will assist the private sector by supporting aggregate demand and lessening the risk that fiscal stress will bring macroeconomic instability. At the micro level, the ERSP will emphasize ensuring sound public investment, continuing to rationalize state-owned enterprises, improving the performance of those that remain under government ownership, ensuring effective competition in the economy and thorough efforts to modernize the legal framework affecting business.
