Care Work, Gender, and Growth in Samoa
Care and household work constitutes an important pillar in the socio-economic development of society. Those doing this labour look after and teach our children and they take care of our elderly, health, and wellbeing. Much of this work is unpaid and happens at home where mothers breastfeed their babies, home-cooked meals nourish and bring families together, our sick and elderly find comfort, and clean clothes and domestic environments keep us healthy, proud, and happy.
What we do
The Samoa MCO works closely with the governments of Cook Islands, Niue, Samoa and Tokelau as well as Non Government Organisations on development programmes in the areas of Democratic Governance, Sustainable Livelihoods/Poverty Reduction, Crisis Prevention & Recovery, Environment and Energy and Gender Mainstreaming.
