together the most senior officials responsible for statistics and planning from
across the Pacific region. HOPS provides a regular institutional interface
between national statistics offices (NSOs), national planning leads, donors, development
partners and SPC to build and sustain the collaborative relationships that are
crucial to the successful implementation of the Strategic
Framework for Pacific Statistics and other statistical initiatives in the
region. HOPs is responsible for promotion of evidence-based policy development,
decision making and planning by Pacific Island governments and leaders to
improve the lives of Pacific peoples, as well as for the effective and
efficient coordination of resources to support the development and production
of official statistics and development indicators in the region.
