Newsletter May 2024

The Pacific Community (SPC) has released a report on the potential to share news of births, deaths and other life events across national agencies and borders. The research, with support from the Australian Government and Plan International, examines the experiences of Pacific countries and territories in detail. It focuses on interoperability and the sharing of data both nationally and regionally, along with the need to share data across borders, as well as providing practical advice to jurisdictions planning to transition to or replace digital registration systems.
