Health
JICA Activities
One of advantages of JICA programs is to be able to offer proper cooperation that meets local needs and conditions of our counterparts from the policy level to the community level.
Another significant advantage is to be able to flexibly undertake planning with multi-sectoral efforts in an integrated fashion, implementing programs including Grant Aid for investment in facilities and equipment, Technical Cooperation for human resource development and organization strengthening, ODA Loans for scaling up projects and other measures, as well as infrastructure development for supplying safe water.
In the health sector, aid coordination is essential due to the large aid community. JICA coordinates and cooperates with international organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and donors from other countries in order to improve maternal, newborn and child health, combat infectious diseases, and strengthen health systems.
