How do we ensure Pacific data strengthens Pacific futures?
The Moanaroa Pacific Data Sovereignty Guidelines affirm that Pacific data is not just information. It is people, relationships, knowledge, and collective responsibility. Grounded in Pacific values, the guidelines support researchers, institutions, and partners to work with data in ways that honour cultural authority, community governance, relational ethics, and collective wellbeing.
This resource offers practical direction for ethical data stewardship, protection of Indigenous knowledge, and decision making that keeps Pacific communities at the centre of how their data is accessed, used, and shared.
Explore the guidelines and reflect on how your research practice can uphold Pacific data sovereignty and accountability.
