American Samoa Launches Mandatory Grants Management System
What happened
The Office of the Governor announced the launch of MATA, a new centralized digital application designed to manage grants within American Samoa. MATA is intended to track active awards, coordinate new applications, and maintain required documentation. All government departments and agencies must use MATA as a mandatory process starting October 1, 2026.
