TAUTUA - HUMAN DEVELOPMENT FOR ALL

A partnership between the Governments of Samoa and Australia

Our Story

Tautua – Human Development for All is an eight-year partnership (2021–2029) between the Governments of Samoa and Australia, focused on strengthening Samoa’s human development systems through inclusive, locally driven solutions. The Program supports improved outcomes across education, health, gender equality, disability and social inclusion, social protection, and emergency response. Grounded in the Samoan value of tautua (service), the program builds institutional capacity, connects government and civil society, and promotes evidence-based, culturally rooted approaches to address complex challenges like stagnant learning outcomes, rising health risks, and access to inclusive services helping Samoa build a more resilient and equitable future.
