Summary

The Samoa Qualifications Authority (SQA) was established under the Samoa Qualifications Authority Act 2006 and strengthened through the Samoa Qualifications Authority Act 2010 to serve as Samoa’s national quality assurance body for the Post-School Education and Training (PSET) sector. SQA is responsible for ensuring the quality, relevance and integrity of post-school education and training through its roles in accreditation, registration, quality assurance, qualifications recognition, monitoring and policy advice. As national priorities, labour market needs, technological developments and stakeholder expectations continue to evolve, SQA’s responsibilities have expanded significantly, increasing the need to ensure that its organisational structure, workforce capability and supporting systems remain fit-for-purpose and aligned with its strategic objectives.

To support its continued effectiveness, SQA is undertaking a comprehensive organisational review that will identify opportunities to strengthen organisational performance, workforce sustainability, governance and institutional capability, while developing key strategic workforce and human resource management frameworks, including a Workforce Plan, Implementation Roadmap, Remuneration Framework and updated HR policies. These initiatives will help ensure that SQA remains responsive, efficient and well-positioned to fulfil its statutory mandate and deliver high-quality regulatory and quality assurance services into the future.

About the Market Development Facility 

The Market Development Facility (MDF) is an Australian Government funded multi-country initiative which currently operates in Fiji, Timor-Leste, Sri Lanka and has expanded into Samoa, Tonga and Vanuatu. MDF is funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs (DFAT). It is implemented by Palladium in partnership with Swisscontact. In Fiji, MDF focuses on developing a diversified, inclusive and sustainable tourism industry, as well as improving the competitiveness of Fiji’s high-value agriculture sector and urban industries.  

Background 

MDF, in partnership with the Fiji Bureau of Statistics (FBoS), is supporting the sustainable growth of Fiji’s yacht tourism sector. Robust, timely, and reliable data is critical for evidence-based planning, policy development, and investment decisions in the nautical tourism segment. Current yacht tourism data systems face challenges related to data consistency, coverage, analytical use, and reporting. To address these gaps, MDF and FBoS will commission technical expertise to strengthen Fiji’s yacht tourism data system and build enduring institutional capacity within FBoS to sustainably collect, analyse, and disseminate yacht tourism statistics.  

The commissioned technical expertise will build on the 2018 Economic Impact of International Yachting in Fiji study, which established a baseline of the sector’s economic contribution. The study will be used as a key reference to examine identified challenges and data gaps, assess whether existing tools, methodologies, and frameworks remain fit for purpose, and inform how future yacht tourism statistics can be systematically produced through the Fiji Bureau of Statistics (FBoS).
