The Pacific Community (SPC), with support from Vital Strategies and Bloomberg Philanthropies Data for Health Initiative, ran a three-day regional workshop from 6-8 March in Nadi, Fiji, during which participants from Fiji, Kiribati, Samoa, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu learnt how to use the ANACoD3 tool (developed by WHO), to perform comprehensive and systematic analyses of their national cause of death data. This workshop also aimed to build capacity of a cadre of ANACoD3experts in the Pacific who could also contribute to the emerging Regional Cause of Death Coding Approach, by building a virtual team able to analyse death data for countries without capacity in this area.
