Abstract
The Samoa Country Study Report into the Financing of TVET forms part of a regionwide program Research into the Financing of TVET in the Pacific initiated by the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) in 2011. The study team for Samoa commenced its field investigations in July 2012 and completed them in September 2012. 2. The aims of the program, as identified by its Research Brief, are to produce, in conjunction with host country governments and TVET stakeholders, a comprehensive empirical analysis of the existing systems for financing TVET in seven Pacific countries (Fiji, Kiribati, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu), identify key financing issues within the region, and identify policies through which future financing for TVET could be made more efficient and effective at both national and regional levels. 3. The Research Brief requires the systematic gathering and analysis of information under four broad headings:Sources of funding for TVET;Expenditure patterns and trends in TVET; Financial mechanisms for channeling funds to and facilitating expenditure on TVET; and Costs of TVET delivery.
