20 JICA Global Agenda
Aiming to•Show development impact /outcome for priority issues towards
contributing the SDGs and achieving
JICA’s medium and long-term targets.

•Maximize development impacts /outcome by proactively working
with partner governments andvariety of actors

44

Road Traffic Safety Cluster•Set Five Approaches to solve the challenges
in Transportation.

•JICA recognizes we have a responsibility toaddress Road Safety issue as important as
Road Asset Management, Maritime Securityetc.

2. Approach for Road Traffic Safety6Background and GoalIssues
1.35 million death each year

Why JICA ?
*1•

The loss of valuable young people due totraffic accidents is an extremely serious socialand economic problem, especially for thecountries developing for the future.

•Experience with urbanization and overcoming
the distortions caused by rapid motorization•As Japan leads the automobile and motorcycle
industries, the role of supporting traffic safety issignificant.

8th leading cause of death for people of
all ages*1#1 cause of death for children andyoung adults 5- 29 years of age*1$1.797 trillion Macroeconomic
losses estimated over 2015-30*2

Contribute to SDG target 3.6 "Halve the number of deaths and injuries fromtraffic accidents”

150,000

Aim to save
lives per year through collaboration with thecountries concerned and other partner※1: WHO, Global status report on road safety 2018, ※2: The global macroeconomic burden of road injuries: estimates and projections for 166 countries

JICA’s Cooperation Scheme• JICA is in charge of administering Japan’s ODA and is one of the largest bilateral
aid agencies in the world.
• Flexible combination of various cooperation such as T/C, Loans, Grants.
Technical
Cooperation (T/C)“People-to-people cooperation”＊ODA

Types of Technical Cooperation scheme
Aiming to Capacity Development
Technical cooperation is “people-to-people” cooperation by supporting partner countries
Enhancing capacities to address development challenges through own efforts.

T/C projects : case of Cambodia
Used to be…
• Very simple analysis of collected accident data• The causes of accidents have not been
investigated in depth, and the traffic accident
countermeasures to be developed lack specificity.
In this Project• More precise and detailed data analysis(crosstabulation) allows for deeper
investigation of accident causes.
• Also used as a communication tool forinteragency collaboration.
