Description
1) About
The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is the development agency of the Japanese government. It has two main aims: (1) inclusive development – this is an approach to development that encourages all people to recognize the development issues they themselves face, participate in addressing them, and enjoy the fruits of such endeavors; and (2) dynamic development – it refers to the creation of self-reinforcing virtuous cycles of mid- to long-term economic growth and poverty reduction in a constantly changing environment of developing countries where a variety of issues arise simultaneously and get entangled each other.
2) Thematic Interests
- Economic development
- Education
- Governance
- Peace building
- Technology
- Gender
- Infrastructure development
- Environment and natural resources
- Rural development
- Health
3) Focus Countries
JICA provides aid to selected developing countries and low income countries worldwide to ensure that development prevails in various regions.
4) Application Procedure
JICA has many different funding schemes but mainly focuses on direct assistance to governments such as Technical Cooperation Projects, Official Development Assistance Loans, Grant Aid, Citizen Participation, Public-Private Partnerships and Emergency Disaster Relief. It also has funding schemes for NGOs such as the Grant Assistance for Grassroot Projects (GGP). Funding ranges around $80,000 and is mainly for infrastructure development, school construction or training center buildings. They usually have two deadlines a year. It is recommended for NGOs to visit the websites of the Japanese embassies in the respective countries of operation which are likely to contain details on available funding for NGOs and how to apply for it. Interested organisations can also get in touch directly with the local JICA offices.
