Mobilizing a Wider Range of Resources to Tackle Global Issues

JICA has set the JICA Global Agenda—20 cooperation strategies for global issues in four categories— to identify medium- to long-term objectives and initiatives toward more strategic cooperation. JICA aims to further increase development impacts through enhanced partnership and co-creation with various partners both within and outside Japan by sharing these objectives with them.

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 a united effort mobilizing a wider range of resources.

JICA is committed to contributing both to achieving the SDGs in partner countries and to solving global challenges together with its mission to work on human security and quality growth. To this end, JICA in fiscal 2021 set JICA Global Agenda, 20 cooperation strategies for global issues in 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 gather 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.
