Industrial Development

In order to solve the issues listed in TDV2050, JICA will strive to create jobs by fostering industrial human resources, improving the business environment, and supporting the diversification and advancement of industries while contributing to the development of a resilient and inclusive economy. JICA will strive for the improvement of the business environment such as promoting private investments including attracting foreign direct investments, supporting quality and productivity improvements for SMEs through business development services (BDS) and KAIZEN, and providing better access to finance.

In addition, JICA will support job creation for young people and improve labor productivity by supporting the development of highly skilled human resources who meet the needs of industry and can be immediately effective and will promote support for SUs and the tourism industry, which have a high capacity to absorb employment.

This is consistent with the JGA “Private sector development,” the Cluster Strategy “Africa KAIZEN Initiative,” and “Support for entrepreneurs to create business innovation (Project NINJA (Next Innovation with Japan)),” and the JGA “Digital for development.”
