The Vanuatu National Strategy for the Development of Statistics (VNSDS) 2024–2028 is a comprehensive framework to facilitate the development of statistics and enhance their utility in Vanuatu. It is an internationally recognised approach that will enable effective coordination of the Vanuatu National Statistical System (VSS) through collaboration of data providers, producers, and users of statistical data. Its aim is to mobilise resources; strengthen the capacity of VSS for producing relevant, timely and usable statistical information based on international standards and best practices; promote use of statistics; and address data limitations. These statistics will assist in the implementation of better government policies for national sustainable development, taking into consideration regional and global commitments.
The VNSDS 2024–2028 incorporates the findings and recommendations of a review of the first VNSDS 2016–2020 conducted by the Partnership in Statistics for Development in the 21st Century (PARIS21) in late-2019 at the request of the Government of the Republic of Vanuatu.
