What Does JICA Do in Rwanda?

JICA is the only donor organization in the world that combines grassroots work with policy level activity, giving JICA a unique opportunity to both understand what’s going on on the ground and relay that to those higher up.

JICA not only builds infrastructure, but also builds capacity of Rwandans through bringing Japanese experts and volunteers to work hand in hand with Rwandans and giving Rwandans the opportunity to be trained in Japan and other countries.

JICA concentrates its support on the sectors where Rwanda has expressed a need that can be met by Japanese expertise. In close partnership with the Government of Rwanda, currently we focus our development activities in the four priority areas:

• Strengthening Education and Training in Science and Technology
• Agriculture and Business
• Economic infrastructure
• Water and Sanitation
