JICA experts to visit BAR for possible linkup
by Rita T. dela Cruz
On 29 June 2001, experts from the Japan
International Cooperation Agency (JICA) based in the
Philippines will visit the Bureau of Agricultural Research
(BAR) for a 2-hour briefing on the R&D sector of
the country at the CERDAF Boardroom.
The meeting is an offshoot of JICA's intent
to know what's going on in the R&D sector of the
Philippines particularly its accomplishments, initiatives,
activities, and future directions which may lead to
possible linkup with the Bureau.
JICA is a governmental agency of Japan,
which is responsible for the technical cooperation of
Japan's Official Development Assistance (ODA) programs.
It has about 1,200 staff members working both in Japan
and its more than fifty overseas offices, including
the Philippines office.
JICA Philippine Office gives life to JICA's
motivating principles playing a vital and active role
at the forefront of our country-based approach. JICA's
programs in the Philippines include:
- Technical training
- Dispatch of experts
- Provision of equipment
- Projecy-type technical cooperation
- Development study
- Dispatch of Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers
- Researches, promotion, and follow-up activities for
- Grant Aid Projects
- Development investment and financing

The Philippines is one of the largest recipients of
the technical cooperation provided by the JICA having
been working as an active partner in the pursuit of
sustainable development of the Philippines.
