Samoa is the focus of significant digital connectivity investment. The World Bank announced improved connections and disaster response to benefit Samoans through a new digital transformation initiative — part of a US$20.05 million grant for the Digitally Connected and Resilient Samoa Project, expected to benefit about 215,000 Samoans.
Connectivity investment
According to the World Bank, Samoa's project forms part of the broader Pacific Digital Connectivity Program, aimed at improving reliable, affordable and effective connectivity across Pacific countries.
