Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is an incorporated administrative agency that delivers Official Development Assistance (ODA) for the government of Japan. JICA is one of the worldʼs largest bilateral aid agencies, supporting developing countries in addressing their development challenges through flexible combination of various cooperation modalities, such as Technical Cooperation, Finance and Investment Cooperation, and Grants. JICA has 96 overseas offices and operates in approximately 140 countries and regions of the world (As of July 2023). JICA also has 15 domestic offices across Japan that serve as a nexus linking developing countries with regions in the country. These domestic offices promote international cooperation that takes advantage of the characteristics of these regions and contribute to their development through such cooperation.
JICA aims to contribute to the promotion of international cooperation as well as the sound development of Japanese and global economy by supporting the socioeconomic development, recovery or economic stability of developing regions. JICA has set the JICA Global Agenda - 20 cooperation strategies for global issues to identify medium- to long-term objectives and initiatives toward more strategic cooperation. For health sector, JICA advances a health-promoting society that under pins people's lives. Through this, it aims to contribute to the achievement of Universal Health Coverage (UHC), which ensures that all people receive the health services they need without suffering financial hardship. JICA aims to further increase development impacts through enhanced partnership and co-creation with various partners both within and outside Japan by sharing these objectives with them.
