Welcome to the Vanuatu Bureau of Statistics (VBoS) new website! We've redesigned our website to make it easier for you to find the data you need. We're committed to continuous improvement and will update this page based on your feedback.

What's New?

• Enhanced Accessibility Features: This comprehensive tool will offer a diverse set of tools to assist users with disabilities in navigating and interacting with VBoS data, creating a smoother and more inclusive experience for everyone. Vanuatu is a member of the Pacific Disability Forum (PDF) and is a signatory to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) by the United Nations. The CRPD outlines the expectation for signatory nations to ensure accessibility for people with disabilities. The VBoS website's efforts to comply with these standards demonstrate Vanuatu's commitment to upholding the rights of people with disabilities.

• Find Data Faster: Clear and easy pathways to navigate through various statistics.
• Feedback Widget: This tool enables you to effortlessly share your thoughts, suggestions, or report any bugs you encounter while browsing the current VBoS website page. Your input is invaluable in helping us understand your needs and enhance your overall experience.

• Improved Understanding: Language is presented in a clear and concise way.

What's in development?

• AI Chatbot Support Assistant: This AI assistant will be trained on a comprehensive dataset of VBoS official statistics, reports, projects, updates, newsletters, and relevant VBoS/Vanuatu news. Focused on VBoS's data, the chatbot will ensure accurate and Vanuatu/VBoS-specific answers to your questions. It will search the VBoS website for information if unsure and, for complex inquiries, offer to connect you directly with a VBoS staff member for further assistance. 
• Interactive Dashboards: We're developing interactive dashboards for all indicator displayed on our home page (more will be added). These dashboards will allow you to explore data visually, with features like filtering, sorting, and drilling down for deeper insights.

• Downloading Tables: We are currently developing the functionality to download tables in Excel format (.xlsx) for all our reports and publications. This will make it easier for you to analyze and manipulate the data for your specific needs.
• Formatting Consistency: We're addressing minor formatting inconsistencies across pages.
