Through a World Bank program, work is underway to make Samoa’s key infrastructure more resilient to extreme weather, which has included a major upgrade of the West Coast Road, one of the country’s busiest. Businesses along the busy route are now reaping the benefit of renewed optimism in the country’s infrastructure.
