Asia Pacific Japan and Emerging Markets (APJEM)

In the International Region, Global Community Partnerships focuses on providing partnership funding for health education. Programmes are selected using the criteria of need, sustainability, leverage, measurable outcomes, partnership and innovation, all of which ensure they have the best chance of creating maximum benefit. These criteria also ensure that successful programmes can, if appropriate, be reproduced in other, similar communities.
