About JICA-RI

Since its inception in October 2008, JICA-RI has striven to build a foundation as a new research institute through the establishment of research strategies, the creation of quality control systems, and the dissemination of research outcomes. I am honored to be a part of this challenging yet very rewarding endeavor. With your support and expertise, I would like to take our work to a higher level: we aim to enhance the quality of researches to further produce useful studies that contribute to the improvement of efficiency and effectiveness in development assistance.

 

Specifically, JICA-RI pursues to facilitate interactive collaboration between development practitioners and researchers, and to provide a structure in which to frame information and knowledge related to the challenges faced by developing countries. Also, with the aim to shape international assistance trends, JICA-RI will expand projects that offer pragmatic insights for efforts directed at restructuring aid frameworks.

 

In accordance with its core research philosophy established at the time of the institute’s foundation, we at JICA-RI are committed to fulfill the institutional duty by taking advantage of the accumulated results and findings in order to bring you the most advanced research.
