SECTOR PLANNING MANUAL FOR SAMOA: 2009 EDITION

A Sectoral Planning Manual: Samoa was first published in March 2000. It was endorsed by the Cabinet Development Committee as the basis for preparing Sector Plans for all sectors of the economy. The Manual was revised in 2003 and translated into Samoan, to make it more accessible to public officials involved in planning, and also to reflect the Realignment of Government Departments approved by Cabinet in April 2002 and implemented in mid-2003. The Manual has been updated and reissued as a 2009 edition because sector planning is being revitalised as a key component of the 2008 Public Finance Management Reform Plan (PFMRP).

However, there is a need for a short summary of the Manual in Samoan, in order to make it more accessible to public officials involved in planning. There is also a need to update the Manual so that it reflects the Realignment of Government Departments approved by Cabinet in April 2002 and implemented in mid-2003. Sectoral Planning Guidelines: Samoa is intended to meet these needs.
