Foreign Minister Bob Carr today announced a further $7 million to repair or rebuild 18 schools and nine health clinics damaged by Cyclone Evan in December 2012.
Senator Carr visited villages devastated by the cyclone during a two-day trip to Samoa.
"Rebuilding these facilities will enable more than 5,300 students to continue their studies and more than 25,000 people to access health care in the coming months," Senator Carr said.
"It will also support the Australia Pacific Technical College to provide training courses for those most affected by the disaster.
