Partnering with disabled people's organisations to improve disability inclusive skills development and economic empowerment in Vanuatu

After successfully working together to deliver awareness raising activities regarding disability inclusive skills development opportunities in communities across Vanuatu, the Vanuatu Disability Promotion and Advocacy Association (VDPA) established a formal relationship with the Vanuatu Skills Partnership. The partnership supports each other on shared goals, by providing relevant technical advice and bi-directional capacity development support. Recognising the limited funding opportunities available to Pacific DPOs, Vanuatu Skills Partnership also funds an appropriate proportion of VDPA’s institutional costs. This joint work has resulted in increasing demand amongst people with disabilities for disability inclusive skills development, and improved supply of disability inclusive post-school education and training.
