JICA’s support for developing countries
through data
-JICA has implemented cooperation on the “Data”.
- Statistics Capacity Development Project･Implement Population/Economic Census･Capacity Development for Officials- Person Trip Data collection survey in Master plan study- Satellite data for Forestry, Urban Development, Disaster prevention,mineral resources etc.

-Recently, It spreads little by little, mainly on projects
seeking creative ideas of applicants.
SME Overseas business development, PPP/BOP Business development,

Grass roots support, SATREPS(Recent) considerations- Correspond to SDGｓ
- Sustainability of Data
- Awareness⇒ Capacity, Budget and Policy / Regulation- Capacity Development- Improve our cooperation
Both “ Develop technology for easy to use” and“sustainable use by government officials”

Implement 2 Times Master plan study. Between 2 study, less follow up.

Situation change
need for mid-term review

Rapid growth of motorcycle

Demand of Walk：No Growth

Need (P.6 Data revolution definition)
1) Track Progress with frequency
2) Make sure their “evidence-based decision”,
3) Strengthen “accountability”,

Sustainability of Data,
Awareness
Capacity Development
And Improve our cooperation 15

Case correspond to SDGｓ(Increase of Death caused by Traffic Accident）

SDGs Target 3.6
In 2020, reduced by half the casualties of road traffic accidents

The traffic accident measures；
Health, Traffic measures, Governance (Traffic police, etc.),
Education are important sector for this issue.
