About the Proposal
The Ministry of Public Enterprise (MPE) is the Government of Samoa's central agency responsible for ownership policy, governance oversight, performance monitoring, and advice on divestment, including privatization and public-private partnerships (PPPs). MPE is also a lead agency under the Public Administration Sector Plan (PASP) 2025/26–2030/31 supporting strengthening governance, accountability, performance, and service delivery across Public Bodies.
Over the past decade, Samoa's fiscal, economic, and governance environment has changed significantly. Rising fiscal pressures, increasing public expectations, climate and economic vulnerabilities, and evolving service delivery requirements have highlighted the need to modernise key governance and ownership frameworks.
Several important frameworks have not been comprehensively reviewed for more than ten years, including:
The 2014 SOE Ownership, Performance and Divestment Policy;
Governance and Board performance frameworks;
The New Vacancy Framework; and
Privatization and Public-Private Partnership (PPP) guidelines.
These gaps, together with emerging policy issues such as foreign participation in SOE ownership, highlight the need to strengthen MPE’s capacity to deliver high-quality policy advice, enhance oversight of Public Bodies, and fulfil its responsibilities as a lead agency under PASP reforms.
It will also require strengthened institutional systems and sustainable internal capability within MPE, including addressing gaps identified in the Ministry’s Training Needs Analysis (FY2025–2027) and workforce planning priorities. This work will need to be coordinated with support provided by development partners, including the Asian Development Bank (ADB) through its Private Sector Development Initiative (PSDI), to ensure a coherent and complementary approach to reform.
