The Commonwealth Leaves No One Behind project (the “CW Project”), funded by the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID), is a time-limited re-granting initiative dedicated to supporting the actualization of government commitments made during the 2018 U.K. Global Disability Summit (GDS). In this project, DRAF/DRF are supporting national coalitions and special projects in select Commonwealth countries with grants and technical assistance for advocacy to government to actualize specific commitments. Grants prioritize support for country-level DPOs as another mechanism to increase participation of persons with disabilities in decision-making processes related to implementation of the CRPD and the SDGs. CW Project grants are made by invitation only.
