During the fifth year of this program, the National Program Office (NPO) will focus its efforts and attention on the following areas: technical assistance to HKHC grantees; field building; and planning for the future. Year 5 includes a special focus on sustainability in the technical assistance and consultation activities that the NPO delivers to grantees and in their work as a national program.
