JICA’s Approach for Capacity Development• 1. Basic principle: Outside actors cannot directly
develop capacities in a partner country• 2) Ownership by the partner country is vital• 3) Joint efforts with the participation of stakeholders
in the partner country are important• 4) A long-term commitment is required• 5) Creating a sustainable mechanism after projectcompletion• 6) Systemic thinking and program approaches• 7) A flexible approach responsive to the development
needs and conditions of each country, issue and sector

For a better tomorrow for all.

Thank you for your attention.
