GreetingsThank you very much for your understanding and ongoing support for the Japan Municipal
Training and Research Foundation’s operations.
Three years have passed since the first case of COVID-19 infection was confirmed in Japan. With
the repeated spread of infection due to the emergence of mutant strains, we are incessantly working
to revitalize the local economy, while implementing measures against the pandemic.

In addition to the above, the social situation surrounding municipalities is drastically changing. The
issues facing municipalities are expected to become more complex and diverse due to Japan’s thedeclining birthrate and aging population, the decrease in the working-age population, the increased
risk of large-scale disasters and infectious diseases, the advancement of a digital society, and thediversification of people’s sense of values.
Against this background, municipalities need to accurately analyze situations and formulate longterm policies for the development and steady implementation of measures tailored to local situations.
These goals require ever more enthusiastic, competent and skilled personnel.

(President of the Japan Association ofCity Mayors / Mayor of Soma City)

Our Foundation’s two academies provide advanced specialized training for local personnel, chief
executives and assembly members. Thanks to your support, the Japan Academy for Municipal
Personnel celebrated its 35th anniversary last October 2022, and the Japan Intercultural Academy ofMunicipalities will mark its 30th year of operation in April 2023. To date, more than 280,000 people have enrolled in programs at bothacademies, creating a formative nationwide municipal network.
We remain committed to our efforts toward training staff capable of playing leading local roles through adaptation to current
conditions and addressing various challenges, including local revitalization, improvement of resident welfare, securement of local
safety, promotion of administrative digitalization and infection control.
We are truly grateful for the support of all municipalities and related organizations.

The Japan Intercultural Academy of Municipalities (JIAM) provides advanced specialized training
to local municipal leaders, assembly members and related personnel throughout Japan. Having
commenced operation in April 1993, as of its 30th anniversary this spring, a total of more than
110,000 people will have attended the Academy’s programs. We would like to express our sincere
gratitude to all of you for your support and cooperation.

Japan Intercultural Academy ofMunicipalities

Now, unpredictable international circumstances continue, and Japan is faced with multiple
challenges, including intensification and frequent occurrence of natural disasters, a declining
population and soaring prices. In this context, local issues are becoming increasingly diverse andcomplex, with residents expecting their municipalities to address various matters, such as the
response to disasters and infectious diseases, promotion of childcare support, as well as furtheranceof digital transformation (DX) and decarbonization as the key challenges.

A daunting number of challenges are thought to lie ahead, but that is precisely the reason we need
personnel
who continue to work hard with the belief that we can build a society where everyone is
OGISAWA Shigeru
able to a smile about their life. JIAM is committed to the planning and implementation of training ina wide range of areas to develop staff with international awareness and global perspectives, as well as strong planning and problemsolving skills. This will afford an adaptive response to the various issues at hand and to changes in local government environments.
President

The Karasaki area of Otsu where JIAM is located was once Japan’s political and cultural hub. Lake Biwa predominates as Japan’slargest lake serving as a significant wildlife habitat, and is overlooked by Mt. Hiei – a sacred location in Japanese Buddhism. Herein this ideal place for the cultivation of human resources with global perspectives and initiative, JIAM is committed to providing
high quality training programs, hoping that those who have gathered, learned and interacted with each other will return to their local
governments and boldly challenge emerging issues. We look forward to seeing you at JIAM.
JIAM welcomes the input of all related parties.
