DocumentEnhancing Timely Access to Quality Data and Statistics for Sustainable Development in Pacific SIDS: Leveraging Existing Tools for Evidence-Based Decision-Making
2024 Pacific SIDS Solutions Forum, Nadi, Fiji, 5-8 November 2024

No results found.Statistical production in Pacific Small Island Developing States (SIDS) involves multiple stakeholders, including government ministries, National Statistics Offices (NSOs), regional organizations, and development partners, all committed to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In the past decade, SIDS have made significant strides in statistical capacity strengthening; however, substantial challenges remain in meeting the growing demand for timely and quality data. Current challenges include inadequate funding, limited statistical expertise and processes and a lack of standardized indicators, which collectively undermine the ability to track progress and formulate data-driven policies.With the rapid advancement of technology and increasing complexity of data needs, Pacific SIDS and NSOs are employing several solutions to enhance the relevance, reliability and accessibility of their national statistics. They are leveraging new technologies and alternative data sources, such as mobile phone data and satellite imagery, to meet the rising expectations for real-time and granular data. There is also an emphasis on building capacity, utilizing existing data more effectively and improving coordination in data collection and analysis. This background paper on data and statistics in the Pacific was presented at the 2024 Pacific Small Island Developing States (SIDS) Solutions Forum 2024. -

ProjectStrengthening Soil Analysis and Information Systems to Enhance Sustainable Soil Management and Support Evidence-Based Decision Making in Liberia - TCP/LIR/3804 2025

No results found.Agricultural land in Liberia (around 5.4 percent of the area) is divided into swamps and forests, and a third of it is under permanent crops plantation. Even though it was assumed that swamps were better suited for rice crops, there was very little knowledge about the soils properties and potential to improve the number of crops or the yields quality and quantity. The country was also lacking some appropriate technologies and capacities to support sustainable land-use programmes. Although some work on data collection had been done in the past, after a long civil crisis and several development challenges, Liberia still counted on limited available data to implement an efficient agricultural plan. By increasing national capacities in soil analysis and implementing better practices for the sustainable use of the land, the project was aligned with the Global Soil Partnership (GSP) policies. Furthermore, by addressing key technical concerns about climate change and the agricultural sector, the project provided strong support to the government programmes and initiatives, which entailed two relevant changes of context: (i) incorporating sustainable land management techniques for sustainable farming, and (ii) new institutional and agricultural frameworks to draw attention from multiple stakeholders, thus promoting the allocation of further financial resources to develop all environmental areas.
