    The importance of good statistical data and its analysis in the national development of countries is seldom appreciated. In order to make progress in alleviating poverty, benchmarks to measure progress need to be established. This is especially true of the Pacific countries where a clear definition of poverty and its scope in the region is still lacking. National capacities in data collection and statistical analysis need to be strengthened to provide decision-makers with accurate information. T his workshop, held in Nadi, Fiji from 10 to 13 November 2003, focused on ways to measure food security and poverty in the Pacific and, specifically, to assist countries in formulating and utilizing a food and agricultural statistics system in the framework of an integrated system of agricultural statistics.
