JICA Training in Japan to Enhance Public Servants skills

Seven (7) public servants from various government agencies have been selected to undertake specialized short-term training programs in Japan under JICA's Knowledge Co-Creation Program (KCCP). The training spans a wide range of priority sectors, including fisheries, health, laboratory science and maternal health, climate change, and correctional facility management. Through these programs, participants have the opportunity to learn from Japan's extensive experience and expertise in these fields, gaining valuable insights into areas such as fisheries management, healthcare systems, climate policy, and public administration that can be applied to strengthen development and institutional capacity in their respective countries.

Course durations vary from three (3) to six (6) weeks, depending on the

Each program brings together participants from a range of countries, creating a dynamic environment for cross-country learning. This setting allows officers to compare approaches, build professional networks, and return home with both technical knowledge and a broader regional perspective on the issues they work on.

JICA remains committed to its longstanding partnership with Papua New Guinea and is proud to share its development experience, knowledge, and technology in support of the country's sustainable growth.

”My objective is to gain a deeper understanding of Japan's correctional and prison management systems, particularly in the areas of inmate rehabilitation, skills development, and social reintegration. I also look forward to exchanging knowledge and sharing PNG’s experiences and practices in offender rehabilitation and correctional management.” (Mr. Raymond Loi, Manager, PNG Correctional Institute) .

These capacity-building initiatives are designed to strengthen the skills and knowledge of public servants, enabling them to contribute more effectively to policy development, service delivery, and the socio-economic advancement of Papua New Guinea. JICA wishes all participants continued success in their training in Japan.
