Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)

The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is a government agency that coordinates official development assistance for the Japanese government. Its primary mission is to support socioeconomic development, recovery, and economic stability in developing regions to promote international cooperation and contribute to the sound development of the Japanese and global economy.

JICA operates through a broad international footprint, with its workforce distributed across 131 countries, including Japan, India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. The agency is involved in various development projects, including those related to socioeconomic infrastructure and international participant training. While JICA manages technical and financial cooperation, it operates as a government agency rather than a commercial bank.
