PHE Voices Storytelling Initiative and In-Country Capacity Strengthening PFPI assisted the USAID supported Knowledge for Health (K4Health) in organizing and conducting a PHE Voices Story telling Initiative. The project aimed to improve local capacity for storytelling among PHE partners in the Philippines and to gather a collection of stories to help share the PHE experiences of these partners and beneficiaries. The scope of work was designed in consultation with the USAID Bureau for Global Health, Office of Population and Reproductive Health, PATH Foundations Philippines Inc.; and USAID/Philippines. PFPI contributed in achieving the following results:

• Thirty two (32) interviews conducted in three different provinces (Iloilo, Bohol, and Oriental Mindoro) and portrait sessions with PHE stakeholders for a collection of stories on Family Planning Voices (#FPVoices) specifically on PHE (i.e., #PHEVoices).
• Organizing and facilitating a two-day training entitled “Storytelling as a Knowledge Management Tool for Population, Health, and Environment (PHE) Advocacy.” A total of 26 participants from PHE network members including representatives from the Department of Health, Civil society organization engaged in reproductive health and conservation programs participated. The training provided for various knowledge management (KM), storytelling, and other related techniques and tools that participants can use in their work
