Samoa's Constitution was established in 1960. It blends traditional and democratic institutions and processes and recognizes the separation of powers (legislature, judiciary and executive). Samoa has a Westminster legal system, like many other Commonwealth countries and is a Parliamentary democracy where its Parliament is elected through universal suffrage every five years. Samoa's court system consists of District and Supreme Courts as well as an Appeal Court that sits once a year. There is a separate Land and Titles Court that deals with matters relating to customary land ownership and matai (chief) titles. Samoa has the smallest Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) in the Pacific at 98,500 km2. As of the last census (2011), Samoa has a population of 186,340; 76% are in Upolu with 20% of that figure in the urban areas of the capital, Apia. The official languages are Samoan and English.

The Central Bank of Samoa advises the public of the continued circulation of counterfeit banknotes. Recent reports from members of the public and commercial banks identify counterfeit notes during processing of deposits. These notes have been submitted to the Central Bank for verification.

The public is therefore reminded to be alert when receiving or handling cash and to check banknotes carefully before accepting them.

For cotton paper banknotes, the public is encouraged to look for the following security features:

โ€ข Watermark: When the banknote is held up to the light, the profile of the late Head of State should be visible, together with a bright CBS mark.

โ€ข See-through window: On the 50 and 100 tala banknotes, the window should appear as a continuous bold strip when held up to the light.

The following (below) are the images of counterfeit banknotes with serial numbers reported in circulation which the public should be aware of:

Denomination Serial Number
100 tala JD1276962
JD1276966
JD1276969

Members of the public are advised not to use any banknote they suspect may be counterfeit. If you receive or identify a suspicious banknote, report it promptly to the Central Bank of Sฤmoa or the Police.

Prompt reporting will assist the relevant authorities with enquiries and help prevent further circulation of counterfeit currency.

The Central Bank of Sฤmoa reminds the public to remain cautious and aware and to be alert when handling cash.

For further information, please contact the Central Bank of Samoa phone number 34150 or 34151.

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MNRE), through its Meteorological Division, commemorated World Ozone Day 2026 at the Meteorological Office, Mulinuสปu, under the theme โ€œGlobal Action for a Cooler Planetโ€.

The annual commemoration provided an opportunity to recognize Samoaโ€™s continued commitment to protecting the ozone layer and to highlight the importance of sustainable cooling practices. This yearโ€™s commemoration was particularly significant as it marked 10 years since the adoption of the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, which strengthened global efforts to reduce hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and promote more energy-efficient and climate-friendly cooling solutions. The year 2026 also marks 39 years since the adoption of the Montreal Protocol in 1987, highlighting nearly four decades of international cooperation to protect the ozone layer.

For Samoa, these international commitments are supported by a national legal and institutional framework. The National Ozone Unit under the MNRE plays an important role in coordinating and implementing Samoaโ€™s obligations under the Montreal Protocol, guided by the Ozone Layer Protection Regulations 2006 (OLPR 2006) and the Meteorology, Geoscience and Ozone Act 2021 (MGOA Act 2021). Together, these national instruments provide an important foundation for regulating and managing controlled substances, supporting compliance, and strengthening national implementation of Samoaโ€™s ozone protection commitments.

The Acting Assistant Chief Executive Officer (ACEO) for the Meteorology Services Division, Namulauulu Taua Aroni, delivered the keynote address and, emphazised on the importance of sustained national action and collaboration in advancing environmental protection. โ€œThe protection of the ozone layer is a clear example of what can be achieved through sustained international cooperation and collective national action.

As we mark ten years of the Kigali Amendment, Samoa must continue to strengthen our technical capacity, support responsible practices within the refrigeration and air-conditioning sector, and ensure that our communities and young people understand their important role in protecting our environment. Global commitments become meaningful when they are translated into practical action at the national and community levels.โ€

Samoaโ€™s national ozone legislation, including the OLPR 2006 and MGOA Act 2021, supports the NOU in implementing and enforcing Samoaโ€™s Montreal Protocol obligations through the regulation and management of controlled substances and stakeholder engagement.

A key feature of the programme was a presentation on โ€œ10 Years of the Kigali Amendment, Celebrating a Decade of Global Action for Sustainable Cooling.โ€ The presentation reflected on progress made over the past decade and reinforced the continued importance of transitioning towards cooling solutions that are both environmentally responsible and energy efficient.

The commemoration also recognised participants of the Good Servicing Practices Training for Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning (RAC) Technicians, with certificates of participation presented to acknowledge their contribution to strengthening technical capacity within the sector.

Building on the technical focus of the training, RAC sector technicians conducted a live demonstration on refrigerant recovery and good servicing practices. The practical demonstration highlighted the importance of proper refrigerant management, safe handling and responsible servicing practices in supporting Samoa's efforts towards more sustainable cooling.

World Ozone Day continues to serve as an important platform for strengthening public awareness of ozone protection and promoting collective action towards environmental sustainability. For Samoa, the 2026 commemoration provided an opportunity to reflect on 39 years of global action under the Montreal Protocol and adecade of progress under the Kigali Amendment, while highlighting the importance of strengthening national technical capacity, promoting responsible practices within the refrigeration and air-conditioning (RAC) sector, andcontinuing to strengthen the implementation of Samoaโ€™s national ozone protection framework through the OLPR 2006 and MGOA Act 2021.

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment acknowledges the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) for its continued support towards ozone protection initiatives, as well as the RAC technicians, participating schools, students, government representatives and all stakeholders who contributed to the successful commemoration of World Ozone Day 2026.

The Ministry further recognises the valuable contribution of all participants whose engagement helped reinforce the shared responsibility for protecting the ozone layer and promoting sustainable environmental practices.

Communities across Samoa will lead local actions to address key environmental and livelihood challenges through more than WST$3.1 million in grant awarded under the UNDP Global Environmental Facility (GEF) Small Grants Programme (SGP).

The funding is provided through the Samoa CARES project, supported by the Government of Australia, and GEF-SGP Operational Phase 8 (OP8). It supports community-based organisations, non-governmental groups and local partners to implement practical community designed solutions.

A grant ceremony was held last Thursday in Upolu and Friday for Savaii where successful recipients received their grants and participated in inception workshops.

A total of 45 projects will receive WST$2.3 million through the Australia-funded Samoa CARES project while a further 17 projects will share more than WST$800,000 through GEF-SGP Operational Phase 8. The initiatives represent a total investment of $3.1million tala in community-led environmental action across Samoa.

โ€œI am pleased that these grants will provide much-needed financial support to communities, while also contributing to local economic activity,โ€™โ€™ said Paolo Dalla Stella, UNDP Officer in Charge.
โ€˜โ€™More importantly, however, these resources provide an opportunity for communities themselves to develop and implement solutions to the environmental and development challenges that matter most to them.โ€

The newly funded projects will help communities turn local knowledge and ideas into practical action demonstrating that environmental protection and sustainable livelihoods can go hand in hand.

Deputy High Commissioner of Australia, Simon Dawkins, said the selection process was highly competitive and reflected the growing capacity, innovation, and dedication of community organisations.

โ€˜โ€™While each project may be locally focused, its impact contributes to a much larger national and regional climate change effort,โ€™โ€™ he added.

โ€˜โ€™Tatou olo-olo pitova'a fa'atasi mo le saogalemu o Samoa. Let us come together in partnership to tackle the challenges posed by climate change.โ€™โ€™

The UNDP-GEF Small Grants Programme is designed to place resources directly in the hands of communities and local organisations, particularly those living in fragile ecosystems and whose livelihoods are closely connected to Samoaโ€™s natural environment.

One of the recipients, Pastor Norman Faโ€™afetai of the First Samoan Full Gospel Pentecostal Church in Nuโ€™u Fou welcomed the support.

โ€œWe are grateful for this grant, which will enable us to install solar streetlights that will benefit not only our church, but the wider community,โ€ he said.

โ€œIt is also our contribution to Samoaโ€™s renewable energy efforts and will support the many church and community activities held on our large compound, including our upcoming youth camp. For us, it also carries a deeper meaning: as a church, we are called to shine Godโ€™s light into every dark place.โ€

The Samoa CARES project is being implemented in partnership with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, with technical support from the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries.

There were 135 applications considered by the National Steering Committee that approved 62 projects following technical assessment and recommendations from the Technical Advisory Group.

From strengthening sustainable resource management and protecting biodiversity to developing community-based approaches that improve resilience and livelihoods, the projects are expected to deliver benefits that extend beyond the individual grant recipients.
