  • Title: GO-NGO collaboration in FP programs.
    Journal: JOICFP News; 1997 Oct; (280):4-5. PubMed ID: 12292744.
    Abstract:
    JOICFP has conducted the Seminar on Family Planning Administration for Senior Officers II regularly since 1967, providing training in family planning to 1151 participants in more than 70 countries over the period. 16 representatives from governmental (GO) and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) from Bangladesh, Ghana, Indonesia, Jordan, Mexico, Nepal, the Philippines, and Tanzania attended the 1997 seminar, held in Japan from August 25 through September 12. It was the first time that one representative each of a GO and an NGO from each country attended the training course. GO-NGO collaboration was emphasized throughout the seminar with the goal of fostering better GO-NGO working relationships. Participants were provided with background on the promotion of family planning and maternal and child health (FP/MCH) in Japan from postwar times up to the present and the role played by GO-NGO collaboration in the success of these activities and the preventive healthcare movement in general. The other major theme of the event was the development of strategies to achieve the self-reliance of programs such as the community-based promotion of integrated programs. Excerpts are presented from interviews with 3 participants.
