Shimomura made a presentation on "The Role of East Asian Development Approach in the Era of the SDGs," and Kitano presented latest findings on "Harnessing the Data Revolution to Achieve the Sustainable Development Goals: Enabling Frogs to Leap."
Participants from CIKD were Gong Sen, Executive Vice-President, and researchers in diverse fields. Discussions followed with questions regarding Shimomura and Kitano’s presentations. Much information and opinions were exchanged, for example, regarding the role of research institutes in achieving SDGs and current research themes. CIKD and JICA-RI confirmed their commitment to continue their cooperation going forward.
