Pacific Sustainable Development Roadmap
• Background behind Pacific SD Roadmap
• Composition of the Pacific SDG taskforce
• Reporting requirements in the Roadmap
• Process of selecting the Pacific Regional
Indicators
International seminar on NATIONAL STATISTICAL SYSTEMS REVIEWS
in Small Island Developing States
Background
• Pacific Leaders identified the need to develop a
regional set of indicators that account for
national priorities and which could be joint used
to monitor the pacific region’s progress against:
– The 2030 Agenda
– SIDS Accelerated Modalities of Action (SAMOA
Pathway)
– Framework for Pacific Regionalism
International seminar on NATIONAL STATISTICAL SYSTEMS REVIEWS
in Small Island Developing States
Background (cont)
• The Pacific SDGs Taskforce was established to guide
implementation, and has drafted a Pacific Sustainable
Development Roadmap to:
– Finalize a regional set of Pacific SDG indicators
– Strengthen Regional and National mechanisms for integrated
regional reporting
– Assist member States embed SDGs in national/sector plans,
budgets and reporting processes
– Identify key elements for implementing 2030 Agenda in the
Pacific at regional/national levels

Members of the Pacific SDGs Taskforce
• Countries: Samoa, Fiji, RMI, Cooks, Solomon
Islands, Aus/NZ, PNG
• Chairs of PSSC (Vanuatu) and SDGTF TWG
(Tonga)

Process for selecting regional set of indicators
• First step was to map the global indicators
against Pacific regional priorities
• Pacific regional priorities were identified as:
– Those reflected in the FPR and SAMOA Pathway
– Those linked to unfinished business of the MDGs
(Gender and Poverty)
– Priorities which are common to Pacific Island
countries
– Those where regional efforts would enhance national
action and implementation
International seminar on NATIONAL STATISTICAL SYSTEMS REVIEWS
in Small Island Developing States
Process for selecting regional set of indicators
• Additional priorities identified for the region, as
indicated in past MDG reports included:
– Increased levels of inequality, covering:
• Urban, Rural and Outer Islands
• Persons with disabilities
– Non-communicable diseases
– Quality of education
– Sustainable energy and infrastructure
• Key transboundary challenges for the region
– Climate change and oceans, and now disaster impact
and response development

Progress of selecting the Pacific Regional Indicators
• 2015: In support of the Pacific’s engagement in the SDG Open
Working Group, SPC led CROP efforts to develop initial draft of
Pacific Headline Indicators (PHIs)
– 62 indicators in total – based on global framework
• Oct 2016: Forum member countries and development partners
consulted – feedback consulted by the Pacific SDG Task Force
– 146 indicators
• Nov 2016 - Apr 2017:Discussed by the PSSC, and regional
meetings of statisticians to discuss measurability and baselines –
presented to SDGTF
– 116 indicators
• June 2017: Discussions between SDGTF and senior statistician
– 129 indicators

Reporting
• Pacific quadrennial reporting on selected
indicators from the Pacific Regional Set will be
used to report against the Asia-Pacific SDGs
Roadmap priority areas relevant to the Pacific.
– Align with the GA HLPF
• Biennial Pacific Sustainable Development
thematic highlights to Leaders will also inform
the Asia Pacific SDGs Roadmap and SDGs

UNPS document P.19 under Outcome 5 –
Governance and Community Engagement
“The UN will support national statistics strategies that enhance
public access to information and data and provide timely and
relevant evidence for national and sector humanitarian and
development planning, and monitoring. Support will focus on
strengthening institutional capacities in PICTs to generate data and
evidence to monitor the situation of communities and the most
vulnerable, including children. This will be achieved by enhancing
capacities in key ministries and amongst decision makers in equity
focused development planning and budgeting. Support will be
provided for the implementation of housing and population
censuses, including support for adherence to international
definitions and methodology, the use of new technologies for data
collection in the field, and data utilisation. Mechanisms to increase
birth and death registrations will be supported in PICTs.”

EXPECTED RESULTS OF DMEG
• Strengthen Pacific Islands countries and territories (PICTs’) capacity in the areas related to the SDG Goals, Targets and Indicators, Pacific Headline Indicators and the UNPS indicators by enhanced partnerships, collaboration and coordination of data and statistical activities within the Fiji and Samoa UNCTs and within the UNPS governance mechanism, particularly.
• Support PICTs in producing and regularly updating national data profiles including SDG Goals, targets and indicators
• Strengthen partnerships and policy dialogue on data with national and regional stakeholders.
International seminar on NATIONAL STATISTICAL SYSTEMS REVIEWS
in Small Island Developing States
EXPECTED RESULTS OF DMEG
• Support PICTs for mapping (in collaboration with the SPC Statistics for Development Division) of all major data related investments envisaged between now and 2030, including population and housing census, population based surveys (e.g. DHS, HIES, LSS, Labor Force Surveys, etc.) CRVS, and administrative data where relevant.
• Improved delivery of technical support to PICTs in the monitoring of their SDGs through enhanced support to their efforts to strengthen their national statistical systems (data ecosystem).
