Twelve Projects Selected for SATREPS (Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development)

SATREPS (Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development) is a science and technology initiative in diplomacy that promotes international joint research between Japan and developing countries using advanced Japanese science and technology. The program is implemented in collaboration among JICA, “Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST)” and “Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (AMED).”
SATREPS aims at acquiring new knowledge, which may help address global issues, such as the environment/energy issue, bioresources, disaster prevention and mitigation, and infectious diseases control. This program highlights the future use of the acquired knowledge in society, and the capacity building of researchers and research institutes in developing countries based on social needs in developing countries.
SATREPS is conducted in collaboration between JICA and JST in three research areas - environment/energy, bioresources, and disaster prevention and mitigation - while the research area of infectious diseases control is conducted in collaboration between JICA and AMED.

The following projects have been provisionally selected for FY 2021. Projects are listed below in the alphabetical order of project titles, according to the area of research
