JICA presently works in more than 155 countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America, Oceania, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. The JICA Mongolia Office was founded on January 1, 1997, as the 53rd JICA overseas office. Currently sixteen Japanese and Mongolian staff members work in the office.
An overseas office enjoys direct and prompt access to current information about the local situation. Each overseas office strives to grasp the specific needs of the recipient country, and on the basis of those needs formulates projects to be implemented. To ensure effective and efficient implementation, each office also collaborates with the recipient governments and with NGOs, donor countries and institutions.
