The Ten-Year Pacific Statistics Strategy (TYPSS) 2010–2020 was adopted by leaders of Pacific Islands Countries and Territories (PICTs) in 2009. TYPSS was developed in recognition of the need for a comprehensive plan to drive the improvement and development of statistics in the Pacific region.

A new Strategic Framework for the Development of Pacific Statistics 2022-2030 (TYPSS II) was presented at the fourth Pacific Statistics Standing Committee (PSSC) meeting on 8th-9th November in Noumea, New Caledonia. The TYPSS II succeeds the Ten-Year Pacific Statistic Strategy (TYPSS) 2011–2020 which was reviewed and evaluated in 2021.

The TYPSS II includes coverage of CRVS data and indicators on births and deaths as key measures of progress. The Pacific Vital Statistics Action Plan (PVSAP) sat under the TYPSS 2011–2020 and has guided the technical assistance by the Brisbane Accord Group (BAG) for CRVS in the Pacific. The PVSAP will be reviewed among BAG members to ensure alignment with the TYPSS II. An in-person 2-day meeting of the BAG is being planned for 23-24 March 2023.
