Advocacy
HANDS returns the valuable experience and knowledge it obtains from its field work to people working in the international health sector in Japan, by consulting on studies by Japanese aid organizations as well as conducting extension and educational activities, including the presentation of papers at academic conferences. Moreover, HANDS actively makes recommendations to enhance the status of NGOs through networking with other organizations working in development, especially the international health sector.
