Abstract

It is widely held that efforts to achieve the United Nations’ 2030 Sustainable Development Goals must sit alongside efforts to achieve ‘universal’ digital inclusion; to ensure global access and increased literacy in the effective use of digital and information and communications technologies(Graham, 2019). In the independent state of Samoa, local and foreign governments have argued digital inclusion will ‘leapfrog’ the nation into the 21st century(Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, 2020). Comparatively, Samoan academics and community leaders have continued to foreground fa’asamoa(the Samoan way) within conceptions of socioeconomic and cultural prosperity (Enari, 2021).
