ABSTRACT
Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3) focuses on health and well-being. To understand the in-country monitoring challenges for developing countries of reporting against SDG 3, this research sought published data for the four Pacific countries of Fiji, Papua New Guinea (PNG), the Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu-within a region with well-documented and significant health challenges. This research found that there are limited recent, comprehensive, and comparable data with identified sources against the SDG 3 outcome indicators at an in-country level. Without such data, there is a risk of relying on data that may be inaccurate because of aggregation, estimation, and modelling. The results from these data can influence the funding and other resources that could be made available to the Melanesian countries to address health inequities.
