KAS Regional Programme Australia and the Pacific has proudly supported the launch at the University of the South Pacific in Suva of the Institute for Economics & Peace’s (IEP) Report on SDG 16 in the Pacific – Strengthening and Legitimising Institutions to Achieve Sustainable Development.

The Report identifies data available and unavailable and from the Pacific Island States and highlights the need for the collection and use of such data to ensure informed policy decisions. Participants included representatives from the Fijian Prime Minister’s Office, UNDP Pacific Office as well as local and regional NGOs. The outcome document is due to be released by IEP soon. ​​​​​​​
