Legal Adviser for Samoa Connectivity
Project Carwardine Legal Pty Ltd has been chosen as Legal Advisor for the Samoa Connectivity Project.
Tenders were invited from two candidates for the following contract due to the urgency to engage a legal advisor.
Only one company submitted a bid. The Tenders Board conducted an assessment of the bid before a recommendation was submitted to Cabinet for approval.
Financial assistance for Vanuatu and Tuvalu
Cabinet has approved financial assistance for Governments of Vanuatu and Tuvalu in the aftermath of Category 5 Cyclone Pam that hit the two countries on 6 March 2015.
Vanuatu will receive financial assistance of US$60,000 and Tuvalu will receive financial assistance of US$20,000.
The government of Samoa has close relations with the two countries especially in the Pacific Island Forum and the Polynesian Leaders Group organisations.
This financial assistance for Vanuatu and Tuvalu is comparable to assistance provided to Samoa after suffering from natural disasters in recent years.
