CBM Australia and the Australian Disability and Development Consortium (ADDC) welcome the opportunity to make a submission to the inquiry into Australia’s response to the priorities of Pacific Island countries and the Pacific Region.
This submission includes recommendations of specific ways in which Australia can step up its delivery on our commitments to disability equity and rights, and meaningful partnerships across the Pacific region through development efforts.
The submissions also provides recommendations on ways to further bolster Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs) governments’ commitment to implementing the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPDs) alongside the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Contingent.
