Agreement ( document IP/C/28) . 
 
_______________  
 
1  INTRODUCTION  
1.  The Government of Japan has been conducting development cooperation activities in many fields. 
One of the most important objectives of these cooperation activities is to promote and encourage 
the transfer of technology.  
2.  Japan understands that incentives for technology transfer should be interpreted to include 
a variety of measures such as financial support and business envir onment support, and that 
supporting the business environment by strengthening intellectual property protection is one of 
several effective measures to promote technology transfer by private sectors. Based on this 
understanding, Japan has provided many ince ntive measures.  
3.  With regard to the incentives provided by Japan to enterprises and institutions in Japan, 
the Government of Japan would like to report on the following activities. The Government of Japan 
believes that the following activities contribute t o raising levels of technological infrastructure in 
least developed countries (LDCs), which will bring about further technology transfer.  
2  ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN BY TECHNICAL COOPERATION ORGANIZATIONS  
2.1  JICA  
4.  Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) provides technical cooperation through ODA, 
through which knowledge and technologies are transferred. The scale of operations for technical 
cooperation through JICA amounts to approximately JPY 191.8 billion fo r FY2021. Some examples 
of technical cooperation for LDC Members are listed in the Annex.  
5.  Under the Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development (SATREPS) 
programme, JICA collaborates with Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST ) and Japan Agency 
for Medical Research and Development (AMED), as the funding agencies for science and technology, 
to promote international joint research projects with developing countries, aimed at resolving global 
issues. JST/AMED support Japanese rese arch institutions/researchers for the project activities in 
Japan.  JICA supports project implementation  in developing countries, such as dispatching Japanese 
experts (researchers), providing equipment and training of personnel,  and other supports related t o 
projects in developing countries  in frameworks of ODA technical cooperation. SATREPS projects 
implemented with LDC members are listed in the Annex.  
6.  In 2013, JICA launched a new public -private partnership programme, 'Collaboration Programme 
with the Priva te Sector for Disseminating Japanese Technology', which aims to promote 
understanding of Japanese enterprises' technology, knowledge and system and to explore the IP/C/R/TTI/JPN/3

  possibility of using them for the development of developing countries. Some examples of proje cts 
implemented under this programme are listed in  the Annex. The programme title was revised into 
'SDGs Business Verification Survey with Private Sector'.  
2.2  AOTS  
7.  The Association for Overseas Technical Cooperation and Sustainable Partnerships (AOTS) is an 
organization for human resources development in developing countries to promote technical 
cooperation through training, expert dispatch and other programmes.  
2.2.1   Technical Training  
8.  Training  is conducted for engineers and managers invited to Japan from developing  countries as 
trainees.  Its programmes include practical trainings implemented by private companies, which allows 
trainees to acquire skills and techniques in specific fields. In 2021, AOTS provided technical training 
courses for engineers and managers of  Cambodia, Lao P eople's Democratic Republic , Myanmar 
and Nepal.  
2.2.2   Management Training  
9.  Training programmes in Japan or the online seminars connected by teleconference system with 
Japan are conducted for the engineers  along with middle and top managers etc.  from developing 
countries to enhance their business or factory management skills and techniques through 
understanding management concepts and observing actual examples of their usage. In 2021, AOTS 
provided management training courses for the engineers and  managers of Bangladesh, Cambodia, 
Lao People's Democratic Republic , Myanmar, Nepal, Sudan and Tanzania.   
2.2.3   Expert Dispatch Programme  
10.  AOTS  experts provide technical guidance and advice to local companies and contribute to 
improvements in areas such as manufa cturing technologies and business management skills. In 
2021, technical guidance on various issues was offered  to Cambodia.  
2.3  JETRO  
2.3.1   Dispatching Experts to Improve the Business Environment of Developing Countries 
in order to Promote Trade and Investment  
11.  Japan  External  Trade Organization (JETRO) is engaged in dispatching experts to assist 
developing countries in the establishment of various rules and institutions necessary to create a 
business environment conducive to trade and investment. More specifically, in  response to requests 
of private sectors and other entities from developing countries, experts were dispatched in respective 
industry fields such as automotive parts and molds & dies.  
2.3.2   Supporting Developing Countries to Expand Their Exports Industries (OVOP ) 
12.  JETRO  helps developing countries to expand their exports to Japan and achieve self -sustainable 
economic growth, by promoting products from emerging countries. Some projects are implemented 
as part of 'One Village One Product (OVOP)' campaign, the initiat ive for supporting and promoting 
local economies in  developing countries.  The core activities of the  campaign are to exhibit and sell 
craftworks, accessories, processed foods and other such products  at 'OVOP Market'.  These are 
sourced from developing count ries in Asia, Africa, Central America and the Pacific and are sold at 
Narita and Kansai International Airports. This promotion will be carried out to introduce the merits 
of these products to Japanese customers and to expand sales in the Japanese market.  
3  ACTIVITIES IN THE FIELD OF CLIMATE CHANGE  
3.1  Climate Finance  
13.  In 2015, Japan announced 'ACE: Actions for Cool Earth 2.0', which aims to encourage 
developing countries'  participation in the Paris Agreement, and to contribute to significant reduction IP/C/R/TTI/JPN/3  
 
- 3 - 
 
  of greenhous e gas ( GHG) emissions by leading the world in further reinforcing development of 
innovative technologies. This strategy consists of two pillars: the implementation of climate -related 
assistance to developing countries totalling approximately JPY 1.3 trilli on from public and private 
sources in 2020; and innovation enhancement, a key to tak ing action against climate change while 
maintaining economic growth.  
14.  In June 2021 at the G7 Cornwall Summit, Japan announced that Japan would provide climate 
finance, both public and private, totalling JPY 6.5 trillion over the next 5 years, from 2021 to 2025.  
On top of that, Japan announced its additional contribution in November 2021  at COP26 to provide 
up to USD 10 billion from both public and private from 2021 to 2025. For adaptation to climate 
change, Japan announced in November 2021 at COP26 to double its assistance for adaptation 
totalling approximately JPY 1.6 trillion from both  public and private sectors from 2021 to 2025.  These 
commitments stand out as a sizeable amount among other developed countries.  Under these 
commitments, Japan will continue to lead the global effort to tackle climate change.  
3.2  JCM 
15.  Japan established and has been implementing the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) in order 
both to quantitatively evaluate contributions of Japan to GHG emission reductions or removals which 
are achieved through  the diffusion of leading decarbonizing  technologies, products, systems, 
services, and infrastructure among others as well as implementation of mitigation actions particularly 
in developing countries, and to use them to achieve Japan's nationally determined contribution and 
for other purposes. As of July 2022, Japan had signed this partnership with 17 countries. Japan is 
promoting the formulation of JCM projects through various supporting schemes, and further 
accelerating the transfer of leading decarbonizing technologies.  
3.3  Other Initiatives relating to Climate Change  
16.  In addition  to the aforementioned JCM, Japan promotes technology transfer relating to climate 
change through active participation in multilateral initiatives under the UN Framework Convention 
on Climate Change (UNFCCC), such as the Technology Executive Committee (TEC ) and Climate 
Technology Center and Network (CTCN)  for which Japan has made a contribution of USD 12.7 million 
as of FY2020 . In October 2021, Japan revised its "Long-Term Strategy under the Paris Agreement " 
which shows the basic concept, visions, and measu res for net -zero GHG emissions by 2050. The 
strategy includes 'Business -led Promotion of International Application, and International 
Cooperation' as one of pillars. Under this pillar, Japan will promote international application of the 
products and goods with high environmental performance with Japanese advanced technologies, 
and through further improvement of the environment, such as market creation, human resource 
development, and establishment of institutional platforms. At the same time, Japan will lea d the 
discussion in international cooperation and multilateral and bilateral international negotiations by 
actively proposing rule -making and the formulation of standards and criteria.  
17.  As part of the implementation of the strategy, at an ASEAN+3 Ministers on Energy Meeting in 
September 2019, Japan proposed inauguration of Cleaner Energy Future Initiative for ASEAN 
(CEFIA), under the framework of the ASEAN+3. CEFIA aims at developing an environment in which 
businesses are able to demonstrate leader ship in disseminating decarbonizing technologies in and 
across ASEAN countries. CEFIA is expected to contribute to APAEC (ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy 
Cooperation), implement CEFIA collaboration roadmap, and accelerate finance, primarily through 
the imp lementation of its Flagship Projects. The 2nd CEFIA Government -Private Forum Held was 
held on February 2021.  
18.  Prime Minister  Suga announced that Japan would aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 
net-zero by 2050 and to realize a decarbonized  society. On  December 2020, Japan compiled "Green 
Growth  Strategy  Through Achieving  Carbon Neutrality in 2050 " and created a fund of JPY 2 trillion 
for providing continuing assistance to companies taking up the challenge of ambitious innovations 
throughout the next decade and set out a policy for the use of the tax system in addition. The 
strategy was updated in June 2021. P rime Minister  Suga announced that Japan aims to reduce its 
GHG emissions by 46% in FY2030 from its FY2013 levels, setting an ambitious target which is aligned 
with the long -term goal of achieving net -zero emissions by 2050. Furthermore, Japan wi ll continue 
strenuous efforts in its challenge to meet the lofty goal of cutting its emission by 50% ( announced IP/C/R/TTI/JPN/3  
 
- 4 - 
 
  at the 45th meeting of the Global Warming Prevention Headquarters and Leaders Summit on Climate 
on 22 April 2021).  
4  ACTIVITIES IN THE PHARMACEUTI CAL SECTOR  
19.  Since providing good quality medicines forms the foundation of healthcare, it has become an 
important task to establish  a system  that can consistently ensure the availability of quality, safe and 
efficacious medicines in developing countries.  
20.  Furthermore, the spread of substandard and falsified (SF) medical products  is a significant public 
health problem , as it not only threatens the health of individual users  but also leads to waste of 
public resources and/or to  the risk of spawning drug -resista nt strains of  bacteria. As such, 
strengthening measures to combat the distribution of SF medical products is also of great 
importance.  
21.  From these perspectives, the Government of Japan, through JICA and Japan International 
Corporation of Welfare Services ( JICWELS), conducts training programmes in order to develop and 
reinforce specialist personnel engaged in pharmaceutical regulatory services.  
22.  Additionally, the Government of Japan in cooperation with the Japanese Pharmaceutical 
Manufacturers Association (JP MA) contributes to improvement of pharmaceutical regulations 
through participation in international conferences, and  endeavours to disseminate the outcomes to 
developing countries in the Asian region.  
5  ACTIVITIES IN THE FIELD OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS  
23.  In FY2020, the following 11 group training courses for government officials  were conducted by 
the Japan Patent Office (JPO), in cooperation with the Asian Pacific Industrial Property Center (APIC) 
of the Japan Institute for Promoting Invention and Innovat ion (JIPII) . 47 participants from LDCs  in 
total completed training.  
24.  In FY2020, the JPO also conducted  4 group training courses for the private sector, and  
13 participants from LDCs completed training.  
25.  In addition, the Government of Japan has been providin g voluntary contributions to WIPO , 
which is a UN organization  responsible for the protection of intellectual property throughout the 
world and the administration of various multilateral treaties, such as the creation of IPR rules, etc.  
The 'WIPO Funds -in-Trust/Japan' (FIT/JP) was established with these voluntary funds and is used to 
support WIPO members in the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP). In 
addition, in FY2008, the  FIT/JP for Africa and LDCs was founded in order to promo te self -sustained 
economic development utilizing IP in the region. Furthermore, since April 2019, Japan has renewed 
FIT/JP as the Global Funds, which are used without limiting areas of support.  Through these 
voluntary funds, various projects are implemente d every year , such as accepting trainees and IPR 
research fellows, holding symposiums, sending JPO officials, and supporting the automation and 
modernization of IP offices. In FY2021, as many as 8  programmes were organized with the Funds -
in-Trust Japan Ind ustrial Property Global (FIT  Japan IP Global), which had 467  participants including 
those from LDCs.  
26.  Moreover, JICA provides various IP training programmes by inviting government officials from 
various countries  to Japan. Under such programmes, participant s are expected to acquire general 
and basic knowledge through lectures, discussion, site observation etc. and to share the knowledge 
among participants from various countries. Courses on intellectual property rights have been held 
since 2000. The courses h ad many participants from LDCs including Myanmar, Cambodia, The 
Gambia, Uganda and Tanzania.
