PH-Japan Fiscal Year 2020 Activity and Financial
Report (July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2020)

Reviewing Fiscal Year 2020
By Shingo Oda, Chairperson of the Board of Directors, PH-Japan(People’s Hope Japan)
At the closing of fiscal year 2020 (FY2020) for People’s Hope Japan(PHJ), I would like to express my heart-felt appreciation for the continued
support of our individual and corporate supporters and for the sincere
efforts of all PHJ staff members in carrying out our planned activities.
Reviewing the FY2020 activities from the program, human resources, and fundraising
perspectives, there are some issues that remain to be addressed. The next mid-term planfor the period of FY2021 through FY2023 will incorporate measures to tackle these issues.
While conditions related to the COVID-19 outbreak remain uncertain, PHJ has initiated its
FY2021 activities. Working as one team, all PHJ staff members are determined to achieve
the objectives of the FY2021 business plan while ensuring an optimum response to the
COVID-19 crisis.
Your continued cooperation, advice, and support will be truly appreciated by PHJ.

Fiscal Year 2020 Activity Report
1. Outline
1-1．PHJ’s International Projects and SDGs
Since its establishment in 1997, PHJ has been engaged in disaster support, health, andmedical programs around the world. In 2003, PHJ focused its activities on maternal andchild health improvement programs, which correspond to goal 3 (good health and well-being
for all persons) of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the year
2030.
There are 17 SDGs in all. In addition to the aforementioned goal 3, PHJ projects target thefollowing three goals:
Goal 5: Gender equality and empowerment of women and girls

Goal 6: Clean water and sanitation
Goal 17: Partnerships for the goals
1-2. Project Contents and Progress
In FY2020, PHJ was engaged in the following health, medical, and disaster support projects:(1) In Cambodia, PHJ continued to implement a project to strengthen community care andsupport network for children in Stoung Trong Operational Health District of Kampong
Cham Province. This project started in October 2018 and will be completed in October
2022. In year one, this was carried out as a base program with PHJ funding. Since
October 2019, the program has been funded by Japanese government grants (Grant
Assistance for Japanese NGO Projects, hereinafter MOFA grant).
(2) In Myanmar, PHJ continued to implement a project to improve maternal and child healthin rural communities, centering on Tatkon Township in the Nay Pyi Taw Union Territory.
With funding through a MOFA grant, this project started in October 2017 and will becompleted in October of this year. As FY2020 is the final year of the program, PHJ iscarrying out activities that aim to ensure its continuation by local counterparts. PHJ has
also consulted with the Ministry of Health and Sports for a new program that will start in
FY2021. For this program, Lewe Township in Nay Pyi Taw Union Territory has been
selected, and an application has been submitted for a MOFA grant. We are aiming tostart this program by the end of 2020.
(3) In Thailand, PHJ implemented the third and final year of follow-up for an HIV-Aids
Prevention Education program. Started in August 2013and completed in July 2016, this three year Youth
HIV/Aids

Prevention

Education program targeted

students at 18 technical colleges and was fundedthrough a MOFA grant. As the PHJ Thailand Office wasclosed in October 2016, follow-up surveys were
implemented in 2017, 2018, and 2019 by dispatching
PHJ Japan staff to Thailand. Each year, this follow-up
was done at six technical colleges. A former program manager who had worked at the
PHJ Thailand Office assisted the PHJ Tokyo staff. During the follow-up visits, PHJ
learned that the HIV/Aids education courses have provided necessary life skills to thestudents and confirmed that such education continues to be effectively provided in thepeer education rooms that PHJ helped to establish.
The above photo was taken during one of these follow-up visits.

(4) In Japan, in January 2019, PHJ Japan initiated a three-year Psychosomatic Counselling
Program in Minami Soma, Fukushima Prefecture. The program partner was Musubi-nokai, a medical corporation, and counselling was provided in a room that was leased fromthe Hori Mental Clinic. While the program was a success and was set to continue until
December 2021, it had to be suspended this spring because of the COVID-19 outbreak
and the departure of the lead counselor, Dr. Yonekura. PHJ subsequently concluded a
new contract with the Musubi-no-kai to continue the program for another one and a halfyears.
1.3 COVID-19 Effects and Measures
In March and April, the COVID-19 outbreak spread to Cambodia and Myanmar. The bordersof these countries were closed to foreign personnel and the need to safeguard the health of
PHJ’s Japanese personnel in these countries became an urgent issue.
Placing a high priority on the safety of its Japanese personnel, at the end of April PHJ’s
Tokyo headquarters issued a temporary evacuation advisory and (1) confirmed
arrangements for emergency return flights, (2) conferred with staff on risks, and (3) madearrangements for the administration of the offices during the absence of the Japanesepersonnel.
At the end of April, the PHJ headquarters issued a temporary return order to its Japanese
staff in Cambodia and Myanmar. The staff of the Myanmar office complied and, back now inJapan, are relying on e-mail and Zoom meetings to stay in touch with their colleagues in
Myanmar and carry out their program responsibilities. In response to a strong request fromthe Japanese staff person in Cambodia, the headquarters decided to respect her wish tostay at the project site, but made safety arrangements on her behalf such as purchasing aticket for an emergency flight back to Japan, for use in the event of an emergency.
At the Cambodia and Myanmar project sites, COVID-19 outbreak prevention is a serious
matter for medical and health staff as well as volunteers. The health administration offices
at these sites asked PHJ to provide non-contact thermometers, pulse oximeters, masks,
and alcohol jells and soaps for sterilization. In response, PHJ’s headquarters and theCambodia and Myanmar offices consulted immediately with each other and promptly
procured the requested items locally for distribution to those in need. The healthadministrators in Cambodia and Myanmar appreciated PHJ’s prompt response.
The COVID-19 outbreak has had a great impact on operations at the Tokyo office. In March,
PHJ put in place a work at home system in response to governmental advisories at themunicipal and other levels. Following the end of the state of emergency in June, a more
flexible approach has been taken and work in the office is approved when necessary.

To prepare for a possible second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan, PHJ has madework at home applicable for all staff members. PHJ has also discontinued the holding of
regular meetings in conference rooms and now holds these meetings via the web.
1.4 Communications
PHJ’s Communications Department published the
FY2019 Annual Report in October 2019 and newslettersin February and June of this year for distribution toindividual and corporate supporters as well as otherindividuals and corporations.
PHJ also published wall and desk calendars that featured
drawings

bychildreninCambodia, Myanmar, and Japan (Musashino City) that werebased on the folk tales of each country.
At the end of August 2019, staff from the Communications
Department at PHJ headquarters accompanied students from
Saitama University students on a trip to Cambodia to introduce
them to the Cambodia program.
The PHJ Communications Department has the important responsibilities of disclosing
information and data about PHJ’s activities to the public and maintaining and updating the
PHJ website. Since 70% of all web access in Japan is done through smartphones, PHJ is
optimizing its website for smartphone users.
1.5 Financial Report
Total revenues excluding goods in kind were 99.09 million yen (budget 94.70 million yen),and total expenditures came to 89.59 million yen (budget 95.89 million yen), resulting in a
profit of 9.50 million yen (budget loss of 1.19 million yen). Accordingly, the net profit was
improved by 10.69 million yen from the initial budget.
However, this net profit carried forward does not accurately reflect PHJ’s financial situation.
The main reason for the revenue increase was a year-on-year 7.50 million yen increase in
MOFA grants. Under the NPO accounting principle, contributions such as MOFA grants thatare designated for a specific purpose should be deducted when calculating the actual
amount. In FY2021, a larger MOFA grant will be received for the new Myanmar project, so
the difference between the net profit carried forward figure and the actual amount of revenue
not designated for specific purposes will be greater. Also, a significant part of the revenue

increase will come from corporate donations that will go toward the implementation ofprograms in 2021.
The number of corporate and individual memberships has been steadily decreasing. This
trend has accelerated since March due to the impact that the COVID-19-related economic
slowdown has had on our corporate supporters. Because of the temporary suspension,
reduction, and cancellations in the payment of membership fees, the budget amount could
not be achieved.
The revenue projection of the FY2021 budget takes into consideration the effects of the
COVID-19 pandemic. As seen with the MOFA grant for the Myanmar project, thedependence on public grants will certainly increase.
In the FY2020 financial report, certain descriptions have been changed. In the revenue
section, cash donations have been divided into membership fees and donations, inaccordance with the NPO accounting principle. Also, in the expenditures section,communications and publications were included in program expenditures. This change is inline with the NPO accounting principle’s division of expenditures into operating expenses
and administrative expenses. As a result of these changes, the program and administration
amounts match the figures in the FY2020 Budget and Results and the FY2021 Budget, andcorrectly describe the financial status of this organization.
With the 2019 NPO certification renewal, the Tokyo Metropolitan Office pointed out that
PHJ’s programs are Cambodia support, Myanmar support, and disaster support. The total
for each support program should match the totals given for the programs in the Financial
Report. Accordingly, the communications and fundraising expenses were allotted to thethree programs. The outcome matches the program expenditure instructed by the Tokyo
Metropolitan Office.
1.6 NPO Certification Renewal
To renew its certification as an NPO (effective period September 30, 2014 throughSeptember 29, 2019), PHJ submitted a renewal application in May 2019 and underwent aninspection by the Tokyo Metropolitan Office in November of that year. PHJ received
notification in January of this year that its certification had been renewed (effective period
September 30, 2019 through September 29, 2024).
2. Support Programs
2.1.Cambodia Program
2.1.1 Project to Strengthen Community Care and Support Network for Children inKampong Cham Province (MOFA Grant Project)This three-year MOFA grant project commenced in October 2019. It has its origins in
a Healthy Child Growth Pilot Program that commenced in November 2018.
In FY2020, PHJ supported the following five initiatives.
 Support of Health Center Infrastructure
In February, PHJ started the construction of a postnatal
care room at the Khpop Tagnuoun Health Center. The
construction of the care room was completed onschedule in July. At the Areak Thnot, Peam Kohsna,
Khop Tangoun, and Oun Mlou health centers, PHJ
continued to check the list of available child health careequipment, in cooperation with the operational health district (OD) office. Each
health center made full use of the inventory list and it has become standardpractice for them to periodically check the status of their equipment and supply
inventory.

(The above photo shows the newly constructed care room.) Supporting Technical Training for Health Center Staff Members
Starting in October 2019, PHJ organized monthly
staff meetings at all the health centers to share
information from the OD office and discuss
proposals and issues encountered at work.
These were attended by all staff, including thehealth center chief, midwives, pharmacists,
vaccine staff, and outpatient consultants.
In a new initiative, the OD office provided supervision and training in the integrated
management of childhood illnesses (IMCI), growth monitoring and promotion(GMP), and postnatal care (PNC) to the staff of the health centers. This training
was truly effective in enhancing the skills of health center staff.
(The above photo shows a person from the OD office providing GMP training.)
Following the completion of the postnatal care room, the OD office will provide
technical training and postnatal counselling to women who have returned home
after giving birth.
 Strengthening Child Care Network in Community
PHJ also organizes bi-monthly meetings for the health center steering committee
members and health volunteers, as well as quarterly meetings for community care
workers for mothers and newborns (CCMNs). To facilitate the effective sharing of
information at the meetings, PHJ prepared a recording format.

By holding such meetings on a periodic basis, the health center staff can gain anunderstanding of community health issues and needs. Since the beginning of the
COVID-19 pandemic, particular attention has been paid by the health center staff
to the sharing of information on the location, number, and health condition ofpeople who have returned from other countries, and to the performance of followup checks on these persons.
 Improvement of Child Care in the Community
In February of this year, PHJ organized a brainstorming
session at which health volunteers and CCMNs came up
with ideas for new health education textbooks. A staff
member from a health center served as facilitator for thesession, which was also attended by staff from theprovincial health office, the OD office, and various healthcenters. After discussing which topics were most needed
to be covered by the text books, the participants selected sanitation, nutrition, and
IMCI. They will next start work on creating the texts.
PHJ has also monitored home visits by CCMNs, taught health education classes,
provided instruction on how to keep records, and provided other training to
CCMNs. Thanks to the cooperation of the CCMNs, positive changes have been
made in the communities. For example, the number of women who receive
periodic prenatal and postnatal care has increased, while the number of women
who follow traditional birth practices has decreased. (The above photo shows a
CCMN explaining the importance of periodic checks to a pregnant woman.) Cooperation with OD Office
In December 2019, PHJ worked with a Japanese expert to organize a study tour
for four staff members from the Stoung Trong OD. The aim was to learn about thehealth administration system and other original
programs developed by the Ang Roka OD, which
has been designated a Special Operating Agency(SOA) by the Department of Health of Takeo
Province. In the photo on the right, the four
participants are standing directly behind thebanner.
Three staff members from the Ang Roka OD office accompanied the participants
to facilitate discussions and give detailed information about the SOA designation.

They also provided instruction on health service administration, maternal and childhealth services, and the collection and control of health data. After each briefing,
the Japanese expert held group discussions to review what had been learned.
The participants all expressed an interest in sharing what they had learned about
health center operations to the Stoung Trong OD.
2.1.2 COVID-19 Pandemic Emergency Support (Independent Project
In April, PHJ donated personal protective equipment suchas masks, hand sanitizer, and non-contact thermometers(total value 840,000 yen) and funds to the Stoung Trong
OD. The goods as well as funds were distributed to twelve(12) health centers and the district hospital. PHJ also
provided masks and soap to health volunteers andcommunity health workers. The photo on the left showssome of the donated supplies and a health volunteer
receiving a packet of masks.

2.1.3 Donation of Bicycles to Health Volunteers and CCMNs
In August 2019, PHJ donated 109 bicycles to healthcenter staff members and CCMNs, for their visits tovillagers. At the bicycle donation ceremony, the OD
Director expressed his appreciation to PHJ and theJapanese government for their continued support of
the Stoung Trong OD. As shown in the photo on theright, the bicycles are being put to good use by the
medical and health volunteers.
2.2 Myanmar Program
2-1. Project on Maternal and Child Health Service Improvement in Rural Communities(funded by MOFA grant)
In October 2017, PHJ started this three-year project, funded by a MOFA grant. The
project involved the following five initiatives. Until March of this year, when the COVID19 pandemic began to have an impact, this project was successful in achieving its
objectives.
 Safe Environment for Childbirth
In August and October 2019, respectively, construction of the Gui Ping sub-rural
health center (a primary medical facility with a midwife in residence, hereinafter
sub-center) and the Myauk Myiek Rural Health Center (RHC) was completed.

These facilities have been effective in ensuring thatwomen in the local communities can safely give birth.
The photo on the left shows the Gui Ping sub-center.
To six (6) sub-centers in the RHC catchment, PHJ has
also donated privacy-protection partitions to separate
the delivery rooms from the delivery rooms.
.
In addition, PHJ has introduced a system with a checklist for maintaining goodhygiene and sanitary conditions with facilities and equipment, so that the townshiphealth department can extend guidance to midwives. As a result, the awarenessamong midwives of the need to control hygiene and sanitation has led to a safer
environment for the provision of health care and services.
 Enhancing the Skills of Medical Staff
PHJ has monitored the skills of midwives and auxiliary midwives and provided
refresher training, as shown in the photo on the right. Practical training is given to
individual midwives by visitors from the townshiphealth department to enhance their knowledge andskills. At periodic meetings of midwives and auxiliary
midwives, local health issues are discussed andinformation is shared to strengthen their partnership.
 Maternal and Child Health Education for Pregnant and Post-partum
Women
PHJ has organized maternal and child health education sessions at villages andhealth facilities, as shown in the photo on the left. There are
a number of actual cases where the information provided inthese sessions helped women avoid critical situations andtherefore have a safe pregnancy and safely give birth.

 Training Maternal and Child Health Promoters and Strengthening
Communication
PHJ has encouraged maternal and child health (MCH) promoters to visit mothersof newborns to explain health danger signs in newborns. They have also visited
pregnant women to advise them on the importance of periodic prenatal care.
Thanks to these visits, the percentage of pregnant women who are receiving
periodic care has increased significantly, and midwives have expressed theirappreciation for the improved communication with women in communities.

 Strengthening Partnerships with Government Officials
In September 2019 and February 2020, PHJ
implemented

monitoring evaluation with the

Ministry of Health and Sport, the Nay Pyi Taw
Union Territory Public Health Department, and the
Takton Township Medical Office, as shown on theright. PHJ shared the achievements and reviewed
the second year and the first half of the third yearof the program. PHJ also discussed the program handover to be done at the endof the third year. The Nay Pyi Taw Union Territory Public Health Department gavea high evaluation of the contribution this program made in improving maternal andchild health.
 Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, PHJ had to suspend or postpone a portionof the program on March 24. As of the end of June, there is no clear timetable forthe restart of the program activities. PHJ will continue to coordinate with the Takton
Township Medical Office for the eventual restart of the program.
2-2-2. COVID-19 Outbreak Emergency Support (Independent Program)On three separate occasions, PHJ has donated emergency
medical supplies. In April, 500,000 yen worth of non-contact
thermometers, disposable masks, sanitization jells, anddisposable medical gloves (shown on the left) were donated.
These supplies were distributed to the Takton Township
Medical Office and Lewe Township Medical Office for use in
the examination and treatment of seasonal workers returning
to Myanmar from other countries as well as local residents
who are suspected to have been infected.
In May, a second donation was made in response to requests from two townshipsthat were experiencing a shortage in the supply of medical consumables for dealing
with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. PHJ donated pulse oxy meters to the Takton
Township and non-contact thermometers, disposable masks, sanitization jells, andpulse oxy meters to Lewe Township. The total value of the donated materials came to160,000 yen.
In June, PHJ made a third donation to health volunteers (38 auxiliary midwives, and414 MCH promoters), providing two reusable masks to each person. In all, 904 masksworth 35,000 yen were donated. While portions of the program have either beensuspended or postponed, the health volunteers are continuing their activities. The
donation of these masks has been appreciated as it will help to prevent pregnant
women from coming down with the disease as well as enhance awareness of theresidents.
2-3. East Japan Disaster Reconstruction Support
In January 2019, PHJ launched the three-year
Minami Soma psychosomatic counselling room
support project. The psychosomatic counselling
project is being implemented by a medical corporation
called Musubi-no-kai, using a room that is being
rented from the Hori Mental Clinic (the Clinic Director
is Dr. Arinobu Hori) shown in the photo on the left.
The initial plan was to eventually offer six one-hour counselling sessions per day, with a totalof 72 sessions over a three-month period. From January to March 2019, 38 sessions were
provided, but from April to June 2019 the session count increased to 75, and from July to
September 2019 to 114, before dropping slightly to 107 in the October to December 2019
timeframe. The increase in the number of sessions can be attributed to spreading of
information by word of mouth about the effectiveness of the counselling in relieving physicaland psychological problems.
When the COVID-19 pandemic intensified, the Japanese government announced a state of
emergency in April of this year. As the psychosomatic counselling sessions are done face toface and last an entire hour, they presented an
infection risk and were suspended by the medical
team. With the lifting of the state of emergency inJune, the medical team resumed face to facemeetings and also provides counseling via theInternet. The

the

remotecounseling.
During the COVID-19 outbreak, there arose a difference of opinions between the principal
members of the medical team, Dr. Yonekura and Dr. Hori, on the objectives of the project,and on responsibility for the potential risks of psychosomatic counselling. Dr. Yonekura left
the project.
PHJ was concerned about the direction of the project and, after consulting with Musubi-no-kai, concluded an agreement to continue the project for the remaining 18 months. The basic
purpose of the initial project agreement was to build a base of independent psychosomatic
counselling facilities in the Minami Soma area. While the extension of the agreement is inline with the original intentions of the project to provide free psychosomatic counselling fora period of three years, PHJ will not participate beyond that period in Dr. Hori’s plan toestablish and operate a new medical organization.

Summary of FY2021 Business Plan
1. Outline
Based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that the United Nations adopted in2015, PHJ is engaged in international and disaster support projects. The continuation ofthese activities will depend on funding, human resources, and the project contents.
Accordingly, PHJ is formulating a midterm plan (2020-2023) that sets out our thinking on
how we will ensure stable fundraising, recruit and train staff members, implement existing
projects, and plan new projects.
In Cambodia, PHJ will continue the Project to Strengthen Community Care and the Support
Network for Children in Kampong Cham Province (from October 2018 through September2022), with funding provided by a MOFA grant.
Regarding the Myanmar program, PHJ will complete this three-year project (October 2017
to October 2020) with funding provided by a MOFA grant. PHJ selected Lewe Township of
the Nay Pyi Taw Union Territory as the new project site for the third phase of the Myanmar
program, and is applying for another MOFA grant to commence this project within the 2020
calendar year.
In Japan, PHJ is continuing a three-year project (January 2019 to December 2021) tosupport the provision of psychosomatic counselling, based on a revised agreement with thepartner organization that was concluded in July.
In the FY2019 business report, PHJ announced budgets for FY2020 and FY2021 that had
been approved by the PHJ Board of Directors and the General Assembly. This was done inaccordance with NPO regulations that require the public announcement of budgets for thetwo following fiscal years when a revision is made to the Articles of Incorporation. However,
PHJ’s overall situation has changed significantly during the past year, so the FY2021 budget
submitted to the PHJ Board of Directors and General Assembly in FY2020 is different fromthe budget that was approved by the Board and General Assembly in FY2019. PHJ isconfident that the revised FY2021 budget accurately reflects PHJ’s current financial situation.
Our budget for FY2021 projects revenues of 138.66 million yen, expenditures of 138.45
million yen, and profits of 2.1 million yen. The reason for the increase in revenues andexpenditures is the expanded size of the Myanmar program funded by a Japanese
government grant.

2. Support Programs
2-1.

Cambodia Program
PHJ will complete the first year of the MOFA grant Project to Strengthen Community
Care and Support Network for Children in Kampong Cham Province in October of thisyear. The second year will start in the same month, focusing on 1) support of healthcenter facilities, 2) enhancement of health center staff skills, 3) establishment ofcommunity network for child health, 4) provision of child health care education to families,
and 5) cooperation with the operational health district administration.
In FY2021, PHJ will focus on community activities. Regarding 4) child health careeducation, PHJ will strengthen training of health volunteers and CCMNs so that they
can provide appropriate health care education to families. The health volunteers will
receive practical training on child health care and sanitation, while the CCMNs will
receive practical training on child nutrition.
In addition, PHJ will enhance communication and cooperation with health volunteers
and CCMNs by establishing effective communication channels, drafting manuals on thetransfer to hospitals of children who need immediate treatment, and organizing periodic
meetings for health volunteers and CCMNs.
As activities directed toward villagers, PHJ will organize health and nutrition classes andorganize campaigns for sanitation and IMC, according to the specific needs in the local
communities. At the end of the second year, PHJ will check the results of the health andnutrition classes by having the villagers take a simple quiz.
Following the construction of the postnatal care room at the Khpop Tangnuon HealthCenter in the first year, PHJ will construct care rooms at the Peam Kohsna, Oun Mlou,
and Areak Thnot Health Centers. At the Khpop Tangou Health Center Care Room, PHJ
will organize training and supervision of health center staff members by the OD
administrator. Support to enhance the skills of GMPs, IMICs, and PNCs in dealing withhealth center staff members will be continued too.
PHJ will strengthen its partnership with the OD office that is responsible for local healthadministration, and will implement the project by working with health centers andvillagers to improve local health and child health care-related medical activities.

2.2 Myanmar Program
2-2-1. Project on Maternal and Child Health Service Improvement in Rural Communities(MOFA grant)

In FY2021, PHJ will complete the three-year (October 2017 to October 2020) project inTatkon Township. This had been suspended due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The plan is
to complete within a few months all scheduled activities (facilities monitoring by
supervisors, maternal and child health education, and refresh training of auxiliary
midwives) in order to achieve the project objectives. PHJ also will proceed with thehandover processes so that the villagers and the health administration office willcontinue our activities by themselves.
2-2-2 Project for supporting health system strengthening for maternal and newborn healthimprovement in Lewe Township (funded by a MOFA grant)This will be the first year of the three-year project at the Lewe Township in the Nay Pyi
Taw Union Territory. While the project covers all of Lewe Township, PHJ will focus on
those areas that do not have good access to health services. The aim is to improve
MCH by strengthening the local health system to provide better access, based onpractical requirements.
The project has two approaches. One is “community-based activities” that aim topromote healthy behavior by imparting health-related information to the community andimproving access to health services. The other is “facility-based activities” that aim to
improve the quality of health services to pregnant and postpartum women and infants,
and to strengthen communication between township health administrators, medical staff,
and the community. Practical support activities will be selected depending on the healthissues in a specific area.
With regard to community-based activities, PHJ will provide health education, promote
the use of medical facilities, train and encourage MCH promoters to visit the homesof pregnant and postpartum women, and conduct refresher training and skill monitoringof auxiliary midwives. Facility-based activities consist of providing medical equipment
to medical facilities, constructing medical facilities, skill monitoring of midwives,
organizing meetings with medical staff, and conducting workshops with counterparts.
In addition to the above-mentioned activities, PHJ will endeavor to establish a solidbase for smooth project operation, strengthen partnerships with the government andlocal administrations, and build trust with counterparts.
