Various organisations such as GOs, research centres, academic institutes and NGOs have been actively working on ICH in Japan. Under the programme, a network will be established among such organisations in order to share ICH information, organising training courses and PR activities for outside of Japan. They are requested to become the cooperating organisations to assist the programme in terms of planning, coordination and evaluation. They are also expected to contribute to the ICH network at national level.
