CBM Australia (2025) Supporting the Pacific Disability Forum to Engage in and Influence Development Processes: Impacts of Outcome 2 of the DFAT-CBM IAG Partnership

This case study documents the value and impact of support CBM IAG has provided to Pacific Disability Forum (PDF) through the DFAT-CBM IAG Partnership, from 2018-25. The case study demonstrates how ongoing collaboration has contributed to continuing growth of PDF’s reach and influence for disability equity and rights in the region, through sharing outcomes identified, some key lessons learned and the wider impact of some of the pieces of joint work produced. The importance of a relationship of mutual trust and support, in the context of flexibility and long-term support, is highlighted as being foundational to the success of PDF and CBM’s work together.
