[pacificdata.org](pacificdata.org) – the Pacific Data Hub – is the central repository of open data and knowledge products about the Pacific region. Anyone can access the public data on the Pacific Data Hub. You are encouraged to search, reuse and share the data on pacificdata.org.
The Pacific Data Hub holds a large and diverse collection of data, data insights, publications, and knowledge products on the Pacific across key sectors, including population statistics, fisheries, geoscience, agriculture, aquaculture, energy, education, human rights, climate change, and oceans, and it continues to grow.
While the intention is for the Pacific Data Hub to become a multi-stakeholder-owned and managed platform, it is currently a product of the Pacific Community (SPC), and as such is governed by SPC’s internal documents.

Only two women have been elected to parliament (currently made up of 15 members) in Tuvalu since independence in 1978. With some exceptions, since the 1997 Falekaupule Act the final decision-making body (the Falekaupule) on many of Tuvalu’s eight inhabited islands has been dominated by male members, namely elders, matais (heads of each clan) and chiefs.
Because national politics remains heavily island based, the design of temporary special measures becomes crucial. Options being considered are:
- Provide an additional seat for women from each of Tuvalu’s eight islands.
- Add two seats for women to the existing legislature elected from across the entire country.
- Add two seats for women to the existing legislature but restrict them to Funafuti, the capital.
The paper notes that without widespread popular support, any proposed system for temporary special measures is likely to flounder due to the sensitivity and complexity of gender issues in Tuvalu.
