Blue Pacific 2050 Dashboard

This 2050 Dashboard presents Forum Member data across the seven Thematic Areas of the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific.

Data and visualisations in this dashboard supplement the 2024 Baseline Report to Leaders, delivered to the 53rd Pacific Islands Forum Leaders Meeting hosted by Tonga. Additional indicators from regional and global monitoring frameworks identified by the 2050 MEL Working Group are also presented to tell a richer story. New indicators are proposed for development in the region to address areas of the Strategy not well served by existing indicators, and these will be added over time as indicators are agreed and adopted by the Pacific.

Data presented is collated from a number of sources, including national household census and survey collections, civil registry data, health information systems, regional education assessments, satellite data, SDG custodian agencies and published reports from countries and development partners.

Level of Ambition

All Pacific peoples benefit from a sustainable and resilient model of economic development, including enabling public policy and a vibrant private sector and others, that brings improved socio-economic wellbeing by ensuring access to employment, entrepreneurship, trade and investment in the region.

Goals

Improved socioeconomic wellbeing and prosperity of all Pacific peoples through inclusive, resilient, and sustainable economic development

Outcomes

Some Outcomes currently do not have indicators. The regional MEL Working Group and Thematic Advisory Groups will be working on the monitoring framework and new indicators will be endorsed and added to this Dashboard over time.

Proportion of population below international poverty line

This indicator data is also available by age and urbanisation level (urban, rural).

The indicator “proportion of the population below the international poverty line” is defined as the percentage of the population living on less than $2.15 a day at 2017 international prices.

Proportion of population living below the national poverty line

This indicator data is also available by sex, age and urbanisation level (urban, rural).

Proportion of population living in poverty in all its dimensions according to national definitions

The indicator data relates to the bottom 40 per cent of the population and is also available for the total population.

Proportion of population with access to electricity

This indicator data is also available by urbanisation level (urban, rural) and income level.

Annual growth rate of real GDP per capita

Proportion of adults (15 years and older) with an account at a financial institution or mobile-money-service provider

Average hourly earnings

This indicator data is also available by occupation.

Note that the figures are reported by local currency and thus direct comparison between countries is not meaningful.

Proportion of youth not in education, employment or training, by sex and age
