CRVS

Births, deaths, marriages and other major life events in Tuvalu are set to make greater use of digital systems and data-sharing, supported by the Pacific Community (SPC)’s expertise in this area.

De-identified causes-of-death information will be exchanged between Fiji, Tonga and Tuvalu in a pilot project supported by the Pacific Community (SPC) that sees the countries sharing expertise towards better health outcomes.

Landmark research on the potential to share news of births, deaths and other life events across national agencies and borders has been shared by the Pacific Community, charting a new frontier for civil registration and vital statistics ahead of a major conference in the field.

The Pacific Community (SPC) and Cook Islands government collaborated on this work with support from the Vital Strategies–Bloomberg Philanthropies Global Grants Program.

Stakeholders in Pacific statistics and development are invited to put forward proposals for statistical innovation and research that seeks to improve welfare data collection and accessibility in the region, with financing for a range of projects available.
