AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Digital ID: Samoa has launched its 2026 National ID Policy, laying out a roadmap for a digital identity system intended to support access to public and financial services. The World Bank-funded project will be led by the Samoa Bureau of Statistics, with procurement preparations underway. Climate Diplomacy: Prime Minister Fiame Naomi Mata’afa is heading to COP31 as Samoa presses for climate finance that does not add to vulnerable countries’ debt. The Pacific has also opened a dedicated pavilion and office to coordinate its work at the summit. Media Freedom: Donors and governments have urged Samoa to address restrictions on the media, including during a UN review, adding to international pressure on the government. Legal Education: Samoa is moving to establish its first law degree programme at the National University, a step toward expanding local legal training.
