SDD supports development of statistical and data capacity in Pacific Island countries and territories at system, organisation and individual level.
Strengthening capacity for statistics and evidence-based policymaking is crucial for realising the vision of a future where all Pacific peoples, economies, and environments benefit from better data and evidence-based decision-making for sustainable development, as envisaged in the Strategic Framework for Pacific Statistics 2022–2030.
To support this goal, the Pacific Community (SPC) has a work program dedicated to evaluating capacity and capability needs and developing targeted solutions to assist countries and territories throughout the Pacific in coordination with a range of partners.
Key documents and initiatives related to capacity development are below:
- Capacity Development Framework
The purpose of the Capacity Development Framework is to ensure that statistical capacity in the Pacific region is strengthened through a well-articulated and coordinated program of actions that addresses known capacity needs at the system, organisational, and individual levels.

The WG-CD will support the implementation of the Capacity Development Framework (CDF) for statistics in the Pacific.
- Comprehensive Needs Assessment
