<font face="tahoma, sans-serif">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”). </font></p>

<font face="tahoma, sans-serif">In 2020, the DPO Fund Committee with the endorsement of the PDF Board commissioned a review which will be carried out between June to September 2020. Christina Parasyn, Independent Consultant, will undertake the review in consultation
with the community of stakeholders <b><i>who have been, are now, or could in future</i></b> be involved in the Pacific DPO Fund in some way. This survey will feed into Stage 1 of the review, Setting the focus and Scope, which aims to find out from you what
you would like to learn from the review.</font></p>

<font face="tahoma, sans-serif">We <b><i>value cultural and traditional ways of communicating</i></b> 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 <b><i>review needs to be done remotely for the safety and health of all of us</i></b>. This may include surveys, phone calls, video, and text applications. We will look for ways to have direct dialogue with you
if this is your preference.</font></p>
