ADB TA-9976 REG: Pacific Urban Development Investment Project Enhancement and Capacity Development Facility – Samoa Water Supply Masterplan and Investment Priorities Study – Samoa Water Supply Masterplan and Investment Priorities Study (54010-001)

With technical support from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Ireland Trust Fund for Building Climate Change and Disaster Resilience in Small Island Developing States (ITF), a comprehensive study is being conducted to assess strategies for ensuring sustainable, safe, and affordable drinking water access for all populations in Samoa, while considering the impacts of current climate change scenarios. This initiative builds upon prior ADB and donor assistance in Samoa's water and sanitation sector, aiming to enhance service coverage and performance through strategic planning and appropriate technologies. The project will yield a 10-year national water supply masterplan, outlining policies, standards, and guidelines for sustainable water supply systems across Samoa, along with a costed and prioritized investment plan to facilitate informed decision-making for achieving sustainable access to safe drinking water.
