Technical Cooperation

1. Technical Cooperation Project

As of March 2011

The Technical Cooperation Project (TCP) is one of JICA's main types of overseas activities. Projects under the TCP are results-oriented, where Japan and a developing country pool their knowledge, experience, and skills to resolve specific issues within a certain timeframe. The projects may involve the following components: (i) dispatch of experts to provide technical support; (ii) invitation of personnel from developing countries for training; (iii) provision of necessary equipment. The TCP may have one or more components.

Under this Program, JICA’s on-going and planned projects in the Philippines for JFY 2010 are as follows:
