Over the next two years, JOICFP will distribute five issues of a community-operated reproductive health (CoRH) newsletter, Core of the CoRH.

The printed newsletter will convey voices from the field where projects are being implemented to motivate those taking part, share experiences and tips, promote JOICFP's CoRH skills, and further address donor accountability.

Features are expected to be on the progress of on-going projects, such as ATOMM, Change!, Movah!, and ASRH in Latin America and the Caribbean. The first issue, published in August, introduces CoRH from various angles, including its power mechanism to develop and enable community initiatives that lead to sustainability, and how JOICFP has been implementing projects and programs on the ground. The views of beneficiaries and implementers are reflected, and readers will be asked to contribute as well.

The newsletter will be sent to those concerned with JOICFP's CoRH projects and electronic copies will be sent to those on the JOICFP eNEWS mailing list.

The next issue will be available at the end of this year, featuring Movah!, a youth initiative in community advocacy for adolescent reproductive health in Asia.

If you wish to receive hard copies of the newsletter, please e-mail info@joicfp.or.jp.
