Pacific Statistics Development Governance Committee Meeting Objectives
The Pacific Statistics Development Governance Committee oversees strategic decision-making in regional statistics development matters. It plays a crucial role in providing guidance, recommendations, and oversight on statistical issues. The committee collaborates with various entities to enhance statistical governance in the Pacific region. Key objectives include monitoring progress, reviewing technical proposals, and coordinating with donors and development partners. Additionally, efforts are being made to tailor questionnaires, support data use in reporting, develop a regional SDG dashboard, work on gender statistics, and monitor the performance of the Samoa Pathway using SDG indicators.

Pacific Statistics Standing Committee (PSSC) Provide strategic guidance and decision-making body in significant regional statistics development matters, including governance.

Provide senior-level strategic oversight, guidance, recommendations and decisions on all statistical matters placed before it. Nil Yes Monitor implementation and progress of the TYPSS and other essential statics-related processes; make decision on operational matters and make recommendations to HOPS on strategic issues of importance for statistics development in the Pacific region. PSSC meet in years when there is no HOPS meeting. A technical body with the role of reviewing technical proposals on methodologies, identifying areas requiring research to identify best practices and making appropriate decisions on technical matters or, in cases where it cannot make a final decision, make recommendations to PSSC and HOPS for further discussion and a decision. Ensure that all relevant donors and development partners were provided with a means to better coordinate their action and resources and provide concrete input into statistic governance in the Pacific.

Work in progress 1. Better tailored questionnaire and survey instruments such as Disability Surveys and the example of Vanuatu s Baseline Indicator Survey 2. Support to five Pacific countries in the use of data in VNR reporting 3. Development of a regional .stat SDG dashboard working with OECD to iron out difficulties in setting up data structure definitions for the multi-dimensional indicators. (SDD can share the outcome of this work with other SIDS)? The hope is that this will strengthen the presence of P-SIDS data in global publications. 4. Development of a Roadmap for Gender Statistics in the Pacific (UN Women, SPC, UNFPA, ESCAP, ADB). 5. Working with the UN-SIDS to see how we can map and use SDGs indicator to monitor Samoa Pathway performance in the Pacific
SDG Dashboard (Pacific Data Hub) 1. Pacific Data Hub: Centralised platform for data dissemination Increased data discoverability, exploration and visualisation 2. Contains a series of thematic dashboards Pacific Community Centre for Ocean Science SDG Dashboard
SDG Dashboard (Pacific Data Hub) 1. Front page: Links to 17 goal pages Includes interactive progress wheel visualisation 2. Goal pages: Broken down into targets and indicators Includes interactive visualisations pulling data from SPC .stat indicator database (SPC is a member of Statistical Information System Collaboration Community) .stat indicator database based on SDMX - enhances interoperability and improves reporting into global SDG database.
