The Fiji Disabled Peoples Federation was first established by a group of persons with disabilities in the late 70’s and was originally known as the Fiji Paraplegic Committee, the movement was started because of an interest in Fijian sports. In 1984, the name was changed to the Fiji Disabled Peoples Association which included the cross disability sector and was later registered and incorporated under the provisions of the Charitable Trust Act (CAP 67). In 2012, the name changed to what it is today, the Fiji Disabled Peoples Federation (FDPF), and it is an umbrella body to five major affiliates:
- Spinal Injury Association
- United Blind Persons of Fiji
- Fiji Association of the Deaf
- Psychiatric Survivors Association
- Association of Person with Intellectual Disability
Further to this FDPF has established and continued support for 17 community based branches throughout Fiji.
The DataHub
The hub was developed and design to assist FDPF and its affiliates for accessing and sharing critical information on disability inclusion in Fiji.
Our platform is designed to empower organizations of persons with disabilities (OPDs) and stakeholders by providing reliable data, insights, and tools to advocate for the rights and inclusion of all persons with disabilities. Together, we are building a more inclusive society by fostering collaboration, transparency, and data-driven decision-making.
