Palestine

In July 2006, the government of Japan proposed “Corridor for Peace and Prosperity” as a mid-long term initiative toward co-existence and co-prosperity between Israel and Palestine. For peace in the two entities, this initiative depends on effectuating the two-state solutions, and to establish a viable Palestinian state by sustainable development of Palestinian economy, this initiative aims at trust-building between the neighboring countries through regional cooperation among Palestine, Israel and Jordan, while strengthening Palestine's socioeconomic base. To achieve the Corridor for Peace and Prosperity concept, JICA is conducting technical cooperation to develop agricultural sector and promote sustainable tourism, as well as technical cooperation and financial assistance for infrastructure to construct Jericho Agro-Industrial Park.
