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. -

FAO seeks to promote practices and policies that support integration of the agriculture and productive sectors (crops, livestock, forestry and fisheries) to ensure the responsible management and long term availability of natural resources. For this, it focuses its efforts on improving and standardizing productive activities, as it acknowledges the need to produce safe foods and implement good agricultural practices, such as the integrated pest and disease management, harvest and postharvest han dling, technological innovation and the conservation of biodiversity. On including social aspects, such as food security, dignified work, food education and the strengthening of associations. Environmental aspects, such as water and soil management, the sustainability of the productive system, the handling of agrochemicals, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and risk analysis. And economic aspects, such as entrepreneurial management, competitiveness and fair trade. FAO inicitives at a r egional level, in a constant search for such productive sustainability, are developed under an eco-systemic approach to achieve an efficient production, an egalitarian, participative society with oportunities for its economic, physical and mental growth in a healthy environment. -
