What's JOICFP?

Community-operated Reproductive Health (CoRH) >>Back to Activities

Community-operated Reproductive Health (CoRH) is the new concept that JOICFP is currently promoting.

The basic policy when implementing a project is to focus on the needs of individuals. JOICFP projects incorporate not only FP but also individual sexuality and fertility, in other words, reproductive health.

Based on this approach of focusing on individual needs, JOICFP has been promoting community-based RH projects with the community people's own initiative in developing countries, since its establishment in 1968. This has led to a great deal of accumulated experience. The concept of CoRH was developed on the basis of this accumulated experience.

The feature of CoRH projects is to focus on individuals, while the implementation of projects is based on the community. The ultimate goal of projects is to transform unhealthy individual RH behavior into a more supportive one, and to create a social environment that enables individuals to change.
