Description: In the Pacific region numerous administrative processes, censuses and household surveys collect education related data. These data largely remain underutilised. The long time series of underexploited education data sets presents an opportunity to fill gaps – where they exist – in education indicators while building the capacity of national statistical agencies in the Pacific region to analyse and disseminate education data. Similar to statistics on national income, human development and labour force, education statistics should be comparable across countries. The purpose of this workshop is to improve the harmonising of education data over time, both within and across the various sources of education data to minimise: Time and costs in developing data collections, Respondent burden, and Unnecessary duplication across sources. and to maximise the: Quality and value of information gained from any single source. Opportunities for the cross-analysis, exchange and re-use of data. Users’ understanding of statistical information and how it can be used to inform the development of more informed policy.

Description: The Brisbane Accord Group (BAG) in collaboration with the Public Health division of the Pacific Community (SPC) is organising a regional workshop on Legal Identity and Identity Security. The workshop aims to review progress and to build momentum towards the achievement of target 16.9 of the global sustainable development agenda (which commits states to achieving universal legal identification), and to address critical issues surrounding the establishment of robust civil registration systems including reviewing the role of Health information systems. This workshop is jointly organised by the Statistics and Public Health Division of the Pacific Community, the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the World Health Organisation, the Pacific Civil Registrars Network and the Pacific Health Information Network, and is supported by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The workshop brings together Registrar Generals and Health information officials from Pacific Island countries and Territories (PICTs). The workshop is organised in support of commitments made PICTs towards strengthening of their administrative data collection systems, for birth, death and cause of death data, as outlined in the Pacific Vital Statistics Action Plan (PVSAP) and the Ten Year Pacific Statistics Strategy (TYPSS). The workshop further aligns to commitments made by PICTs towards the Asia and Pacific decade for civil registration and vital statistics (2012-2024) and the corresponding regional Action Framework.
