ORGANIZATION
ACCOUNTABILITY
ADB supports projects in developing member countries that create economic and development impact, delivered through both public and private sector operations, advisory services, and knowledge support.
Samoa and ADB
Beyond post-pandemic support, ADB’s assistance to Samoa focuses on enhancing its resilience against climate and economic shocks through infrastructure investments and support to private enterprises.
Latest Country Strategies and Business Plans
The country partnership strategy (CPS) is ADB's primary platform for designing operations to deliver development results at the country level. ADB works with each developing member country to map out a medium-term development strategy and a 3-year country operations business plan (COBP) to implement it.
