Complex and serious issues facing the world

Pursuing economic prosperity and human dignity, the world has been facing challenges, including climate change, that threaten the very survival of all life, along with difficulties such as COVID-19 and frequent armed conflicts. Addressing these global issues requires that the international community make the united effort mobilizing a wider range of resources.

JICA is committed to contributing to achieving the SDGs in partner countries and addressing global challenges together with its mission to work on human security and quality growth. To this end, JICA has set JICA Global Agenda, 20 cooperation strategies for global issues under four categories: Prosperity, People, Peace, and Planet.

Advancing collaboration and co-creation

Amid growing interest in the SDGs, the range of development actors is expanding to include private companies, research institutions, civil society organizations, and others. JICA will share the values it aims to achieve over the medium- to long-term with these various stakeholders and work together to tackle global issues.

To further advance such collaboration, JICA will build platforms that allow diverse partners to congregate various resources, including knowledge, ideas, and talent to promote co-creation. It will also work to create an environment that enables fund mobilization and private business participation to spur a groundswell of efforts to solve global issues.
