Abstract

This Plan succeeds the Agriculture Sector Plan (ASP) 2011-2015. It sets the strategic direction and signals priority areas to focus resources (financial and human) for agriculture sector development for the period 2016 through 2020. It provides the framework to guide coherent programs and actions from all key stakeholders to improve food, nutrition and income security in Samoa. A primary aim of the Plan is to strengthen government partnerships, particularly with the private sector, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and development partners, to leverage agriculture’s potential to promote enhanced health, prosperity, job creation and resilience. Successful implementation of the Plan will contribute to achieving the national Vision of improved quality of life for all and to advancing Samoa’s attainment of the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
