[PDFlist] Joint Advisory on Tonga - PDF & CBM

[Paradise Tabucala]

Greetings all,



As the Kingdom of Tonga picks up the pieces following the recent eruption of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai underwater volcanic eruptions and tsunami effects, the Pacific Disability Forum (PDF) and CBM Global Disability Inclusion (CBM) are calling on all stakeholders to ensure that persons with disabilities are not overlooked in the response and recovery efforts.



In particular, PDF and CBM are calling on Government and stakeholders to work closely with Organizations for Persons with Disabilities (OPDs) in Tonga as active participants in the response and recovery efforts to ensure that persons with disabilities are not left behind. The OPDs are Tonga National Vision Impairment Association (TNVIA), Lavame'ata'eiloa Association (LATA), Tonga National Disability Council (TNDC) and Naunau 'oe 'Alamaite Tonga Association (NATA).



See attached the joint statement and advisory from PDF and CBM.

Kind regards

Paradise Tabucala
Public Relations & Communications Officer
