JICA Knowledge Co-Creation Program
(KCCP)
The Japanese Cabinet released the Development Cooperation Charter in
February 2015, stated that “In its development cooperation, Japan has
maintained the spirit of jointly creating things that suit partner countries
while respecting ownership, intentions and intrinsic characteristics of the
country concerned based on a field oriented approach through dialogue and
collaboration. It has also maintained the approach of building reciprocal
relationships with developing countries in which both sides learn from each
other and grow and develop together.” We believe that this ‘Knowledge Co-
Creation Program’ will serve as a foundation of mutual learning process.

For Your Reference
JICA and Capacity Development
Technical cooperation is people-to-people cooperation that supports partner countries in enhancing
their comprehensive capacities to address development challenges by their own efforts. Instead of
applying Japanese technology per se to partner countries, JICA’s technical cooperation provides
solutions that best fit their needs by working with people living there. In the process, consideration is
given to factors such as their regional characteristics, historical background, and languages. JICA does
not limit its technical cooperation to human resources development; it offers multi-tiered assistance
that also involves organizational strengthening, policy formulation, and institution building.
Implementation methods of JICA’s technical cooperation can be divided into two approaches. One is
overseas cooperation by dispatching experts and volunteers in various development sectors to partner
countries; the other is domestic cooperation by inviting participants from developing countries to Japan.
The latter method is the Knowledge Co-Creation Program, formerly called Training Program, and it is
one of the core programs carried out in Japan. By inviting officials from partner countries and with
cooperation from domestic partners, the Knowledge Co-Creation Program provides technical knowledge
and practical solutions for development issues in participating countries.
The Knowledge Co-Creation Program (Group & Region Focus) has long occupied an important place in
JICA operations. About 400 pre-organized course cover a wide range of professional fields, ranging from
education, health, infrastructure, energy, trade and finance, to agriculture, rural development, gender
mainstreaming, and environmental protection. A variety of programs is being customized by the
different target organizations to address the specific needs, such as policy-making organizations, service
provision organizations, as well as research and academic institutions. Some programs are organized to
target a certain group of countries with similar developmental challenges.
Japanese Development Experience

Japan, as the first non-Western nation to become a developed country, built itself into a country that is
free, peaceful, prosperous and democratic while preserving its tradition. Japan will serve as one of the
best examples for our partner countries to follow in their own development.
From engineering technology to production management methods, most of the know-how that has
enabled Japan to become what it is today has emanated from a process of adoption and adaptation, of
course, has been accompanied by countless failures and errors behind the success stories.
Through Japan’s progressive adaptation and application of systems, methods and technologies from the
West in a way that is suited to its own circumstances, Japan has developed a storehouse of knowledge
not found elsewhere from unique systems of organization, administration and personnel management
to such social systems as the livelihood improvement approach and governmental organization. It is not
easy to apply such experiences to other countries where the circumstances differ, but the experiences
can provide ideas and clues useful when devising measures to solve problems.
JICA, therefore, would like to invite as many leaders of partner countries as possible to come and visit
us, to mingle with the Japanese people, and witness the advantages as well as the disadvantages of
Japanese systems, so that integration of their findings might help them reach their developmental
objectives.
