Pathway for the Development of Samoa (PDS2) 2026–2031
Samoa enters this period with strong economic recovery, driven by tourism, remittances, and renewed global engagement.
PDS2 sets a focused direction to address key challenges such as climate risks, limited resources, and infrastructure and energy constraints. It prioritises clear, coordinated actions to achieve sustainable and measurable results.
Built on five key outcomes, the Plan strengthens governance, social wellbeing, economic growth, and national resilience—while aligning with global commitments.
At its heart is the Samoan value of Aiga, recognising that strong families are the foundation of Samoa’s long-term development.
