Pacific Islanders are being urged to take ownership of developing the new Pacific Data Hub.
The Pacific Community (SPC) this week launched the hub, which is being billed as a central source for reliable data about the Pacific Islands.
Led by the SPC, with support from New Zealand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, it will also develop tools and capabilities to inform good decision-making in order to address the Pacific's needs.
