Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA; President: Shinichi Kitaoka) launched on September 16, 2021 Fiscal Investment and Loan Program (FILP) Agency bonds (non-government guaranteed domestic bonds): JPY 10 billion with a 10-year maturity and JPY 10 billion with a 20-year maturity.

The bonds have the features of “Social Bonds” defined by the International Capital Market Association (ICMA) and are qualified by a second party opinion from an independent third party (Japan Research Institute).

The bond proceeds will be allocated to JICA’s Finance and Investment work for projects which meet gender equality project criteria as defined by the OECD-DAC. This includes projects where the main objective is gender equality and also where gender equality is an important and deliberate objective, but is not the principal reason for the project.
