Summary of publication
Tautai - Governance for Economic Growth (Tautai) and Australia’s Budget Support Program (ABSP) work in tandem to support the Government of Samoa’s fiscal and economic priorities to improve and strengthen resilience through inclusive economic growth, and to contribute to a prosperous and stable nation for its citizens.
The primary purpose of this mid-term review was to evaluate the extent to which the ABSP and Tautai Program have been effective in targeting levers of change to progress on their respective Intermediate Outcomes and achieve End of Program Outcomes, paying particular attention to any major obstacles hindering progress and/or opportunities to accelerate progress.
The MTR was completed in April 2026. The findings have informed discussions and decision making on the relevance and appropriateness of extending the Tautai Program for an additional four years (2026-2030) and extending the ABSP for an additional four years (2027-2031).
