Сводный обзор: 
Strategy for the Development of Samoa (SDS) 2008-2012: Ensuring Sustainable Economic and Social Progress, presents Samoa’s development vision, its medium-term national development goals, and the strategies that will be implemented during the four financial years 2008/09–2011/12 to achieve these goals. The document is the result of an extensive consultative process, which informed the formulation of the national development goals and strategies for achieving them. These goals and strategies are organized into three priority areas: Priority Area 1: Economic Policies; Priority Area 2: Social Policies; and Priority Area 3: Public Sector Management and Environmental Sustainability.

Renewable Energy
RE priorities: 
During SDS 2008–2012, electricity generation from proven renewable energy technologies (hydro, wind, solar, biomass, geothermal) will be promoted. --- Recent high oil prices and scientific research that suggests fossil fuel will be exhausted within the next century make the promotion and use of alternative energy sources a priority. --- Reduce fossil fuel dependency through renewable energy investment and promotion.
RE action plans: 
During SDS 2008–2012, a reduction of dependency on fossil fuels in favour of renewable energy sources will be encouraged through implementation of five strategies: (1) promoting the sustainable use of indigenous energy resources and renewable energy technologies; (2) promoting partnerships with communities and all energy stakeholders, especially development partners, in the development of renewable energy programmes in Samoa; (3) exploring training opportunities to build up capacity in renewable energy technologies; (4) encouraging the commercial use of renewable energy research findings of the Institute of Research and Development; and, (5) enhancing public knowledge and understanding of renewable energy and its costs and benefits.
RE public awareness/promotional programmes: 
During SDS 2008–2012, a reduction of dependency on fossil fuels in favour of renewable energy sources will be encouraged through: enhancing public knowledge and understanding of renewable energy and its costs and benefits.
