This report has been developed based on interviews with seven alumni and various stakeholders to examine the long-term outcomes of Australia Awards scholarship alumni from Samoa. The alumni of focus for this Case Study undertook scholarships in Australia in studies relating to engineering and information technology, and graduated between 2011 and 2016. This research was conducted by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade’s (DFAT) Australia Awards Global Tracer Facility (the Facility) in October 2019.
The overall aim of the Australia Awards is to help ‘partner countries progress their development goals and have positive relationships with Australia that advance mutual interests’. This aim is extrapolated in four long-term outcomes for the Australia Awards, which form the basis of the findings for the alumni from this Case Study.
