Corals for Conservation (C4C) addresses poverty-driven coral reef decline by developing sustainable, community-appropriate enterprises designed to shift the burden away from over-used and depleted fisheries resources. C4C promotes "coral gardeners" as new profession for resorts, providing employment and added value to the industry while contributing to coral reef conservation and restoration. We recognize that if people and industry are major parts of the problem then they are also major parts of the solution.

MISSION Through work and entrepreneurship, our mission is to support women who are refugees, asylum seekers or migrants to improve their confidence, mental wellbeing, sense of belonging and economic outlook. VISION Our vision is an Australia where all migrant women are given the opportunities to become economically empowered. ABOUT SISTERWORKS At SisterWorks we believe Work Empowers Women. Over the past 10 years, we supported over 2,000 migrant, refugee, and asylum seeker women from 105 countries to build a better life in Australia through skills training and work opportunities. We are a certified social enterprise focusing on partnerships with industries to generate social and economic values for migrant, refugee and asylum seeker women in Australia. INTERSECTIONALITY AND SISTERWORKS' EXPERIENCE Migrant, refugee and asylum seeking women represent some of the most vulnerable and marginalised people in Victoria. Many women within this community tend to suffer from low-levels of English, limited work experience, low confidence, isolation and domestic violence. These issues affect their overall economic and social participation within the broader community and thus, there is a need to address both the confidence and financial wellbeing of these disadvantaged women. BY WOMEN FOR WOMEN SisterWorks is a female-led and diverse workforce. All staff members identify as female including all senior staff. In addition, 76% of our staff and 60% volunteers have lived experience as a refugee or migrant woman. SisterWorks is a grass-roots organisation, our programs are developed, run and received by CALD women. Through an intersectional, person-centred and holistic focus, we understand the support needed by our target cohort and the diversity in their individual needs. To further this, our focus groups centering on the woman's long-term and immediate goals ensures the adaptability, sustainability and suitability of programs.

For over 30 years, the Pacific Islands Association of Non-Governmental Organisations (PIANGO) has stood as a bold and unifying force for civil society across the Pacific region. Serving 24 member countries and territories, PIANGO is the regional secretariat for National Liaison Units (NLUs), which function as national civil society platforms that coordinate and amplify the voice of local communities, grassroots groups, and non-governmental organisations. Rooted in the Pacific's cultural values and principles of development effectiveness, PIANGO's work is guided by the vision of: "A United Pacific: Strengthening the Resilient Responsiveness of our Kainga for a Peaceful and Prosperous Vanua." Its mission is equally inspiring: "To support the creation of a secure enabling environment for strong, effective, accountable and adaptive institutions that provide inclusive representation and common voice platforms and structured mechanisms for policy influencing, rooted in Pacific cultural practices and values-through sustainable, equitable, and genuine partnerships for resilient development." This powerful mandate is brought to life through PIANGO's call for "Transformative Partnerships for a Resilient Sustainable Pacific", a call aligned with Agenda 2030 and grounded in uniquely Pacific approaches to development, resilience, and solidarity. PIANGO's work focuses on four strategic pillars: Governance and Leadership - Strengthening national platforms and cultivating visionary leaders who are grounded in community and capable of guiding resilient institutions. Voice - Amplifying community perspectives and ensuring vulnerable groups have meaningful influence on national, regional, and global policy-making. Approaches - Promoting Pacific-led and evidence-based approaches to development, rooted in indigenous knowledge, traditional practices, and critical research. Partnerships - Building inclusive, equitable, and long-term collaborations across civil society, governments, and donors to support a thriving, accountable civic space. In today's context of global uncertainty, climate risks, and shrinking civic space, PIANGO is committed to enabling local leadership, defending civic freedoms, and promoting people-centred, holistic development that reflects the hopes and wisdom of the Pacific peoples.
