JICA has accompanied the development in Guatemala since 1977. Particularly with the signing of the peace accord in 1996, JICA has been involved in a wide range of activities and established a resident office in 1998. In discussions with the Guatemalan government, we have shared information about such important fields as Territorial Development, Sustainable Development and Consolidation of Democracy. Technical cooperation, Japanese ODA loan and grant aid have been provided for the development of Guatemala. In 2009, we greet the 20th anniversary of dispatch of volunteers, having been sent to Guatemala since 1989, and mark an important milestone in our relations.
