Microdata documentation and dissemination Regional Technical Meeting on Coastal Fisheries, Noumea, New Caledonia, 12 November, 2018 Michael Sharp, Statistics for Development Division

Project: Improving Data Dissemination and Use in Pacific Island Countries In response to call for increased dissemination of quality development data: • Curation for long-term preservation of Pacific development microdata • Metadata documentation to improve data useability • Publishing of metadata to increase data discoverability • Establishment of transparent legal and governance frameworks • Standardisation of microdata to facilitate longitudinal and spatial analysis • Identify optimal approaches to sampling in small island states • Build capacity of national statistical agencies in data documentation, standardisation and use, and in sampling methods

Three main components 1. Establishing the Pacific Data Library (http: //pdl. spc. int) 2. Harmonisation of census and survey datasets (ex-post standardisation) 3. New sampling strategy for PICTs
