Invitation for public comments on "JICA Study for Review of JICA Guidelines for Environmental and Social Considerations" (closed)

JICA "Guidelines for Environmental and Social Considerations" (Guidelines), which was adopted in April 2010 and came into force on July 2010, specifies that "JICA will create a comprehensive review of the guidelines within ten years of their enforcement on the bases of its findings." JICA has studied environmental and social safeguard practices as per the Guidelines since February 2018. Considering the Guidelines implementation practices reviewed through JICA projects and critical changes in the environment surrounding us, draft discussion points were identified for further consideration of the revision of the Guidelines. Given the importance of this issue, we hope that you will take this opportunity to express your views on the Draft Final Report of the review.
