Strategy for the development of statistics 2018-2027

The Government of PNG through the National Executive Council (NEC) Decision No. 135/2010 deliberated on the lack of core statistics for informed decision-making and evidence-based planning and as a result directed relevant Government departments responsible for producing and using statistics to develop a National Strategy for the Development of Statistics (NSDS) for the country.

The PNGSDS will strengthen the Papua New Guinea Statistical System and support PNG’s development agenda through evidence-based process. It is a cycle that will have two midterm reviews before a major review in 2027.
