Samoa has a narrow economic base and is highly susceptible to economic and environmental shocks, notably cyclones and tsunamis. Despite these challenges and vulnerabilities, the country has made substantial development progress over the past two decades. As one of the countries graduating from the LDC category, Samoa has been closely involved in the project on graduating strategies for LDCs in Asia and Africa. A thematic case-study was undertaken on the impact of the special measures associated with its LDC status on Samoan development. The country also participated in a survey on its experience with accession to the WTO and LDC-specific market access opportunities.
