Data Management

Technical support involves diverse and integrated services across the work programme to ensure that essential data management systems are operational, and that the necessary support is available to underpin the delivery of the technical work programmes. The demand for data management technical services is continually increasing with the need for increasingly large databases to monitor and respond to natural resource use challenges. Demand for data management services also responds to the need to ensure effective information and knowledge transfer across the region. Accordingly, data management work includes development of systems and software to underpin information sharing and links across Pacific Island Countries and Territories and other key stakeholders, as well as technical advice to programmes, such as on the procurement of data management equipment.
