SDD’s Census and Survey Technical Support: 2018 activities Pacific Statistics Standing Committee meeting, Nadi, Fiji, 1 November, 2018 Michael Sharp, Statistics for Development Division

Acknowledgement I’d like to firstly acknowledge our dear friend and colleague, Pierre Wong, who sadly passed away in August this year. Pierre shared his skills and knowledge widely throughout the Pacific and he has been integral to statistical development and, of course, much happiness and laughter, in the Pacific region. Pierre contributed his brilliant mind and hard work to everything that I am about to present to you this afternoon.
