First published in 1974 as a monthly newsletter that was mailed around the world, JOICFP News became JOICFP eNEWS in October 2003.

December 2007 will mark the final issue of JOICFP eNEWS. Instead, the latest information from JOICFP and Japan on population, reproductive health and family planning, etc., will be posted on JOICFP's soon-to-be updated website at www.joicfp.or.jp

2008 will mark the 40th anniversary of JOICFP, and a major renewal of the JOICFP website is planned.

To assist with this, JOICFP would like to ask for your opinions on what information you would expect to see posted on the new website, such as information regarding Japan's ODA policy, population, low birthrate, and ageing, or JOICFP's RH strategies in the field, etc.

JOICFP would like to thank you for your readership, and trusts that you will continue to engage with it through the new-look website.
