A strong evidence base is needed to understand the socioeconomic implications of the coronavirus pandemic for the Papua New Guinea. High Frequency Phone Surveys (HFPS) are set up to understand these implications over the years. This data is the fifth round in a series of mobile phone surveys.
The main component of that survey is the expenditure of households. All expenditures are captured and show their amount and sources, disaggregated by a detailled classification containing around 1,750 commodities that is aligned with the international COICOP (Classification Of Individual Consumption Of Purpose) classification. This classification will allow to update the Consumer Price Index of New Caledonia.All types of expenditure are covered, including expenditure that is not related to consumption of goods or services: taxes, house work, cash gifts.
The phone survey was conducted to gather data on the socio-economic impacts of COVID-19 crisis, as well as the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcanic eruption and tsunami in Tonga. Round 2 interviewed 2,503 households both in urban and rural regions of the country from July 2022 to August 2022. Survey topics included employment and income, food security, coping strategies, access to health services, asset ownership, and preparedness.
The 2021 Tonga HIES is the new update of this kind, after the 2015/2016, 2009 & 2001 versions. This survey aims to provide indicators on Household Living Standard using monetary aspect (amount of income and expenditure), non-monetary aspect (calory consumed, assets own, imputed rents…) and more social approach (education, health, food security status…).
PURSE SEINE fishery data compiled by the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC). The WCPFC have compiled a public domain version of aggregated catch and effort data using operational, aggregate and annual catch estimates data provided by Commission Members (CCMs) and Cooperating Non-members (CNMs).
Data cover 1950 to 2021 and are grouped by 1°x1° latitude/longitude grids, year and month.
The data are described here:

Tuna biomass (skipjack, albacore, yellowfin and bigeye tuna) variability over the period 1979-2010 simulated by the Spatial Ecosystem and Dynamics Model (SEAPODYM, http://www.seapodym.eu/ and https://github.com/PacificCommunity/seapodym-codebase).
Here, we provide the unfished biomass dynamics (i.e. without considering any fishing). For each of the four tuna species we provide both the total biomass (adults + juveniles) and the larvae abundance.
Projection of tuna biomass (skipjack, albacore, yellowfin and bigeye tuna) in response to climate change simulated by the Spatial Ecosystem and Population Dynamics Model (SEAPODYM, http://www.seapodym.eu/ and https://github.com/PacificCommunity/seapodym-codebase).
1/36° model hindcast of the Solomon sea developed as part of the SOSMOD project (SOlomon Sea high résolution MODeling).
Simulations performed by the MEOM group using NEMO (Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean) for the period 1989-2007.
Here we provide temperature and current velocity every 5 days.
The model configuration and results are described in:
Extraction of the operational Hycom global ocean forecast system at 1/12° for the Pacific region. Only surface field of current and temperature are provided.
Extraction of the operational global wave forecast system of Météo-France with a resolution of 1/12° for the Pacific region.
This product is an extraction of the full model output provided by CMEMS. Only the 10 day forecasts for a portion of the Pacific and for a few variables is provided here.
Below is the product description on the CMEMS website:
Tuna biomass (skipjack and bigeye tuna) variability over the period 1998-2019 simulated by the Spatial Ecosystem and Population Dynamics Model (SEAPODYM).
Here, we provide the unfished biomass dynamics (i.e. without considering any fishing). For each of the four tuna species we provide both the total biomass (adults + juveniles) and the larvae abundance.

Agriculture s the foundation of and heart of the rural PNG economy with over 85% of its 7.5 million people depending on the sector for their livelihoods. This sector is faced with so many challenges including climate change, lack of access to markets and so on. The access to suitable and timely information and knowledge is also seen to be one of the key drawbacks of agriculture advancement in PNG.
This dataset contains all spatial data that is related to the Tonga volcanic eruption. Maps produced are derived from credible data source such as UNOSTAT and UNITAR.
The WASH Baseline Survey is an initiative of the Water and Sanitation Sector which aims to:
1. Gain a better understanding of the water and sanitation situation nationally; and
2. Collect information about Knowledge, Attitude and Practices of the population regarding water use, sanitation status and hygiene behaviour.
Cyclone Evan hit Samoa in December 2012 and caused immense damage and significant losses. This comprehensive assessment estimates those damages and losses, and identifies the needs of the affected population.
In this report, the value of durable physical assets across all economic and social sectors destroyed by Evan (referred to as damage) is estimated at SAT 235.7 million, equivalent to US$103.3 million.
Solomon Islands is composed of almost 1000 islands and has the second longest coastline and the second largest Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) in the Pacific. These physical characteristics and the unique society and culture of the population are the basis of the fundamental relationship that Solomon Islanders have with the ocean. The Marine Atlas for the Solomon Islands compiles over a hundred datasets from countless data providers and for the first time makes marine and coastal information accessible and usable as data layers and as raw data.
