| Advocacy Activities in JOICFP |
| JOICFP is a leading NGO in implementing
international projects in developing countries as well
as in advocating the issues of population and sexual and
reproductive health (SRH). JOICFP takes extensive and
various approaches to promote its advocacy activities,
which aim to create awareness on population and SRH issues
and mobilize resources for these fields. |
| JOICFP recognizes that the Program of
Action, which was agreed at the International Conference
on Population and Development (ICPD) in 1994, Platform of Action of 1995 Women's Conference and MDGs in 2000 still needs
more commitment to find concrete solutions. The international
community has since witnessed notable progress in some
areas of SRH. Nonetheless, a sizeable majority of women
all over the world still suffer from lack of access to
SRH information, care and services. Furthermore, in relation
to SRH, the real involvement of governments, including
Japan’s, to increase financial commitments, implementation
of gender sensitive programs, universal services and legal
reforms in developing countries is still pending. |
| Given the above situation, JOICFP advocates
locally, regionally, and internationally through networks
with Members of Parliament, governmental organisations
(GOs), non-governmental organisations (NGOs), mass media,
business communities, grassroots communities and international
organizations (IOs) to increase support for SRH worldwide.
