The adoption of the Millennium Declaration -implications for national statistical systems in the Pacific

Paper prepared by Garth Parry, SPC Statistician. The adoption of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), targets and indicators had obvious and immediate implications for development in the Pacific region, with particular relevance for development of the national statistical systems (NSSs) providing information for the measurement of these indicators. The link between the MDGs and NSSs is well illustrated by the phrase "if you can't measure it, you can't manage it". The importance of measuring the state of national development against MDG targets, both now and in the future, flows on to a need for national statistical systems that can produce timely and reliable information related to the underlying indicators. This paper aims briefly to assess the present capability of the region's NSSs to measure those indicators, how that capability has developed in recent years, and the prospects for improvement in areas where there are still significant deficiencies. The conclusion is that many MDG indicators are either already being produced or can be derived from existing data sources (PDF file, 186 Kb).

The State of Food and Agriculture 2007

The State of Food and Agriculture 2007 explores the potential for agriculture to provide enhanced levels of environmental services alongside the production of food and fibre. The report concludes that demand for environmental services from agriculture - including climate change mitigation, improved watershed management and biodiversity preservation - will increase in the future, but better incentives to farmers are needed if agriculture is to meet this demand.

This report proposes a set of strategies to strengthen national capacity to collect and report statistics and also for improved mainstreaming of gender concerns.
