Summary: In this installment of Pod Rights, Disability and Race Discrimination Commissioner, Graeme Innes, looks at a joint Commission and Pacific Disability Forum project, which is funded by AusAID.. This project focuses on building the knowledge and capacity of national disabled people's organisations (NDPO's) and governments in nine Pacific Island countries and reinforcing the importance of these organisations and governments working together to progress disability issues. The project aims to help the governments in these nine countries to better understand the rights of people with disability with a view to signing, ratifying and implementing the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
