Synopsis (short abstract) There is a growing demand from both public and private actors to have access to more timely, reliable, and accurate data for informed decision-making. Private actors (farmers, extension workers, etc.) need better information to improve farm profitably, use their scarce resources efficiently, prepare for pest and disease pressure in the short-run and climate change and water scarcity in the long run.

    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.

    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.
