In 2012, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and ZFF formed a partnership for a four-year joint project on “Strengthening Provincial and Municipal Health Champions.”

In this partnership, ZFF’s health leadership formation programs help empower governors and mayors drive healthcare reforms in their respective provincial and municipal units, particularly in reproductive health, family planning, and adolescent sexual programs.

Nine provinces and 59 municipalities are covered by this partnership. The provinces are: Ifugao, Mountain Province, Camarines Norte, Masbate, Eastern Samar, Surigao del Sur, Compostela Valley, Sultan Kudarat, and Saranggani.
