Abstract
Globally nations have had to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak and Governments have been pressed on the need to be agile and adaptive. The Government of Samoa is a classic example of agile success predominantly in regards to the timing of its policy measures, the autonomy of resolutions and the steadiness amid transformation and stability. In this research paper, based on the secondary review of the Government of Samoa’s responses, it is observed that it is reflective of the agility and adaptive governance and provides the real picture where agility is displayed mainly via the swiftness of Government’s response to various agile successes mentioned in the paper as well as a result of the adaptability of the government as a response to COVID-19. This study therefore draws on the stories of agile successes of the Government of Samoa that its citizens should be proud of.
