>> Warm Pacific greetings to all of you and trust you are keeping well and
>> safe at this challenging time. This email serves to inform all of you that
>> we are undertaking a review of the Pacific DPO Fund as detailed below, and
>> that some of you will be requested to participate in this important piece
>> of work.
>>
>>
>>
>> The Pacific Disability Forum (PDF) has managed and administered the
>> Pacific DPO Fund since 2009 through the generous funding assistance of the
>> Governments of Australia and New Zealand as well as Australia-Pacific
>> Islands Disability Support (APIDS). This funding stream focuses on
>> “improving the lives of persons with disability by supporting the
>> organisational development and project work of Pacific Disabled Persons
>> Organisations (DPOs”).
>>
>>
>>
>> The Fund is committed to regular reviews to ensure it continues to meet
>> its goals. The first review was finalised in 2014 and the report presented
>> to the PDF General Forum in February 2015. In 2020, the DPO Fund Committee
>> with the endorsement of the PDF Board commissioned a second review to be
>> carried out between May to September 2020. Christina Parasyn, Independent
>> Consultant, will undertake the review in consultation with the community of
>> stakeholders *who have been, are now, or could in future* be involved in
>> the Pacific DPO Fund in some way.
>>
>>
>>
>> To make the review meaningful, *we would like to hear from you*! Your
>> input into how the fun works, what has been achieved, what you might like
>> the fund to support, what information might help you understand the fund
>> better is extremely important to us. We want the review to help us learn
>> about the fund, learn how to improve on it and help us to reach out for
>> more funding.
>>
>>
>>
>> We *value cultural and traditional ways of communicating* and had
>> planned for the review to allow us to meet face to face to share stories,
>> experiences and views. Unfortunately, the global pandemic is forcing us to
>> work in more remote ways, which means the *review needs to be done
>> remotely for the safety and health of all of us*. This will include
>> surveys, phone calls, chat and web platforms. We will look for ways to have
>> direct dialogue with you if this is your preference.
>>
>>
>>
>> In the next day or two, we will be sending out a survey inviting your
>> participation into Stage 1 of the review. Stage 1 will help us set the
>> review focus and scope and help us learn how best to communicate with you.
>> Please look out for this survey and have your say.
>>
>>
>>
>> The principle of “nothing about us without us” is very important to us.
>> We want to make sure people with disabilities are at the centre of the
>> review process and that the diversity of the disability movement is
>> represented in the review. Accessibility is important to us so please let
>> us know along the way what accommodations can be made so you can
>> participate.
>>
>>
>>
>> *How and when will the review happen?*
>>
>> The review has four (4) stages:
>>
>>
>>
>> ·         *Stage 1:* Develop and agree the review focus, scope and
>> method. This will be called the “Review Framework”. (June 2020)
>>
>>
>>
>> ·         *Stage 2:* Collect information (June-July 2020)
>>
>>
>>
>> ·         *Stage 3:* Analyse the information collected; and agree the
>> conclusions and recommendations (July-August 2020)
>>
>>
>>
>> ·         *Stage 4:* Report back to the DPO Fund Committee, PDF Board,
>> and the DPO Fund Community (August-September 2020)
>>
>>
>>
>> We look forward to your active participation and contribution to this
>> important review to ensure the Pacific DPO Fund remains relevant,
>> responsive, effective and efficient.
