Australia has announced budget support for Samoa to the tune of just over $US13 million.
This was announced by Australia's Minister for International Development and the Pacific, and Samoa's Finance Minister.
The Ministers also announced a new eight-year partnership focused on Samoa's economic growth and governance priorities.
Called 'Tautai - Governance for Economic Growth', it will support Samoa's continued economic recovery from Covid, jointly delivering projects to improve livelihoods for Samoans.
Tautai complements the eight-year 'Tautua - Human Development for All' partnership announced by Australia's Foreign Minister, Senator Penny Wong, during her visit last year.
