Enhancing Statistical Capacity Building in the Pacific Region
The International Statistics Institute advocates for professional capacity building among statisticians in the Pacific, emphasizing mutual support, networking, and professional standards. The proposal suggests establishing a Pacific Islands Statistical and Geospatial Society to strengthen networks, foster collaboration, and drive action through volunteer associations. It invites Pacific statisticians to share experiences and engage in discussions for further development and support.
