Welcome to The Pacific Disability Forum.
The Pacific Disability Forum (PDF) is the regional umbrella organisation of persons with disabilities (OPDs). We unite diverse OPDs, our Governing Board, and Secretariat under the vision of One PDF.
Together, we champion disability rights, strengthen capacity, and shape regional and global frameworks to ensure equity and inclusion.
We are a proud constituency of 71 organisations of and for persons with disabilities, alongside Associate Members representing diverse groups and allies across 22 Pacific Island countries and territories.
Our Dream is an inclusive Pacific society where the human rights of all persons with disabilities are fully realised — building momentum toward an Inclusive Pacific 2030.
The Pacific Disability Forum works with Organizations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs) across the Pacific to improve the lives of persons with disabilities.
