The Pacific Disabled Persons Organisation Fund (called Pacific DPO Fund) is established by the Pacific Disability Forum (PDF) with funding from NZAID and hopefully, other donor and development partners will contribute to it as well in the future.
The purpose of the Pacific DPO Fund is to improve the lives of persons with disabilities by supporting the organisational development and project work of Pacific Disabled Persons Organisations (DPOs).
The Pacific DPO Fund will be managed by a five member fund committee comprising of the disability coordination officer at the Pacific Island Forum Secretariat who is the chair of the committee, three members elected on a biannual basis from the PDF membership at the Annual General Meeting and the PDF Programme Officer who is an ex-oofficio member.
The Fund committee will hold two funding rounds per year [subject to funds being available] where organisations can submit applications for funding. The dates by which applications must be received will be advertised on the PDF Website, E List and Newsletter. The Pacific DPO Fund Guidelines and application forms can be made available by the PDF Secretariat to qualified organisations from eligible Pacific Island countries.
For further information on the Pacific DPO Fund, contact the Programme Officer on program@pacificdisability.org
 Pacific Disabled Persons Organisations Fund Guidelines
These Guidelines have been developed by the PDF Fund Committee after consultation with members. The Fund Committee will report annually to the PDF Annual General Meeting and, based on their experience of managing the fund, make recommendations for changes to the Guidelines to improve the effectiveness of the Fund. Any recommendations must be approved by the DPF AGM before they can be implemented. Any revisions to the Guidelines will be notified on the PDF website, listserv and newsletters.
