Question: Economic Infrastructure Development
Answer:
Structural and Non-Structural Support for Transportation/Communication Infrastructures and Regional Development that Drives Economic and Social Progress.
The lack of basic infrastructure and frameworks for its operation and management hinders economic progress in many developing countries. Thus, JICA assists in infrastructure establishment and the development of the economy in these respective countries.
Although rapid urbanization can boost efficiency in economic activities and drive economic development, problems also arise such as deterioration in living environments, transportation and public security, and disparities between urban and rural areas. To promote effective regional development, it is important to take a cross-border perspective rather than a region-specific approach. This requires cooperation between regions and planning on a macro scale.
JICA also strives to boost social capacity in developing countries while working to ensure proper governance. To achieve this goal, it emphasizes the importance of creating suitable social systems and institutions; formulating regional development plans; establishing freight and transportation infrastructure; and establishing information and communication networks. JICA is also committed to advancing intra-regional cooperation while providing support depending on the needs of each country.
