Peace-Building

JICA Activities

JICA works to prevent conflict and promote peace. To help prevent the outbreak or recurrence of conflict, JICA provides support immediately after strife aimed at alleviating difficulties facing the population and achieving stability over the medium and long term.

Specifically, JICA supports the (1) reconstruction of social capital, (2) economic recovery, (3) rebuilding the state system and functions, and (4) security enhancement.

New initiatives focus on support for internally displaced persons fleeing civil war. For example, in Northern Uganda, JICA helped people return to their homes and resettle after the war. Other efforts concern research projects on how to make assessments in the peacebuilding field.

In the future, JICA will strengthen these support initiatives while developing human resources in conflict-affected countries and regions through accumulated experience and training.
