Progress towards Millennium Development Goals. 2.6 Samoa’s economy is among the better performing among the Pacific islands, with consistent economic growth, impressive social development and good progress in MDGs, especially MDG 1 on eradicating extreme poverty and hunger. Samoa has already achieved MDGs 4 and 5 on child and maternal health (see table). Significant challenges remain however in sustaining and improving these achievements. The distribution of development benefits is uneven, especially between urban and rural areas. The Government has in the past 5 years ensured national outreach with regards good infrastructure, such as roads, electricity and piped water supply. Connectivity has greatly improved with every 2 persons having access to a telephone (both landline and mobile). There is also pursuit of decentralized policies with regards education and health services and the promotion of halting the rural urban drift. Extreme poverty does not exist in Samoa, yet a “poverty of opportunity” affects many rural communities. About 20 per cent of Samoans live below the national basic needs poverty line. Many youth are disillusioned by the lack of opportunity, and suicide rates are high.

Progress towards Millennium Development Goals. Niue’s progress to achieving the Millennium Development Goals has been steady. The commitment shown by the Government of Niue has enabled the achievement of 6 of the 8 goals enshrined in Niue’s MDG Report 2006. These are MDG 1: eradicate extreme poverty and hunger; MDG 2: achieve universal primary education; MDG 3: promote gender equality and empower women; MDG 4: reduce child mortality; MDG 5: improve maternal health; and MDG 6: combat HIV/AIDS and non-communicable diseases. The overall result for achieving sustainable development shows that every Niuean citizen has access to basic essential services such as running water, power, roads, education, medical care, housing, telephone, television and internet services. Despite the current efforts to sustain development growth at the backdrop of MDG achievement, Niue faces massive human resource depletion as a direct result of depopulation and this has put a huge strain in the Government’s development efforts. The 2006 census recorded a total population of a mere 1625 with a 10% decline of 163 people leaving for further prospects in New Zealand. According to the Poverty Analysis Report 2004, Niue has successfully completed MDG 1 and declares a total absence of extreme poverty and hunger within Niue. However, hardships are still experienced among small groups of people. The present land tenure allows for agricultural development based on small scale commercial basis but more predominant is the use of lands for subsistence living. Niue’s land tenure allows almost all to enjoy free access to land and sea for use. The education standards in Niue are high and with a total primary enrollment of 100%. Transport to schools are provided for free which all attributed to having fully achieved MDG 2. Women continue to enjoy equal opportunities afforded to all Niuean citizens and are encouraged to live lifestyles of their choice. Both men and women are given equal rights to participating in all sectors of the economy without prejudice including the legitimate right to participate in Niue’s democratic parliamentary elections. Health care standards remain considerably high and free to all Niueans. A new national hospital constructed with the assistance of the New Zealand Government has meant a fully equipped and modern medical facilities and treatment are made available in-country. Infant mortality is rare with the occasional premature births however, there has been no case reported of maternal mortality during births. HIV/AI...
