What is the JWF Fund?
Japan Water Forum (JWF) Fund was established in 2005 to support organizations which work aiming at solving water-related issues at a grass-roots level. It is formed and operated by utilizing membership fees of JWF and donations to “Charity for Water”.
During the past 11 years, 150 projects were implemented and more than 189,900 people were benefited in Asia-Pacific, Africa, Central America and South America regions. 

What is the follow-up observation?
We put a priority on reacting to the issues and needs in the field efficiently and effectively. To grasp the changes of the issues and needs after the completion of the projects, we have decided to carry out follow-up observations of the projects in 2014, in which we expect to collect the information on effects and impacts of the projects.
In the first year of the follow-up observations, two organizations have willingly accepted our request and provided information of the current situation of the project implemented village.
