Samoa Facts

ADB's Work in Samoa

Samoa has two main islands—Savaii and Upolu—and several smaller ones covering 2,934 square kilometers of land. It depends on fisheries and agriculture for exports while importing most of its fuel and commodities.

Samoa was a founding member of ADB in 1966 and has been receiving support from ADB for infrastructure development, policy reforms, and strengthening of its climate resilience. Samoa made good progress in addressing poverty, gender, health, education, and environment.
