| Summary: | This report is one of six gender and
investment climate reform assessments undertaken in six
Pacific nations including Samoa. The report analyses
gender-based investment climate barriers which constrain
private sector development and identifies solutions to
address them. Six investment climate areas are considered:
public private dialogue; starting and licensing a business;
access to justice and alternative dispute resolution; access
to, and enforcement of, rights over registered land; access
to finance; and access to, and enforcement of, rights over
intellectual property. In each area the report considers
legal, regulatory, and administrative barriers to private
sector development with a gender perspective. It makes
recommendations aimed at ensuring that women benefit from
ongoing efforts to improve Samoa’s investment climate on the
same basis as their male counterparts. For more publications
