AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoVaccination Coverage: A new WHO-UNICEF report shows many Pacific island countries are missing the 90% target for child immunisation. Kiribati hit only 4 vaccine targets in 2025, while Palau met 10 but fell to 75% for the final measles dose—leaving many children only partly protected. Community Health & Access: A new ITU and Internet Society report highlights how community-run internet networks can support health and other services in remote islands, stressing that local people must help design, run and maintain the systems. Climate, Displacement & Health Risks: A spotlight on statelessness links climate-related displacement to loss of citizenship, warning that Pacific communities face growing health and protection risks when disasters force people to move. Digital-First Services: UNDP points to Pacific efforts to use digital readiness work—like Tonga’s 5G rollout and AI tools for local-language government services—to improve access to public support. Regional Security & Health Systems Pressure: Coverage of China’s missile test and PNG’s move to close Taiwan’s office underscores rising regional tensions that can divert attention and resources from health priorities.
