Overall ODA and health ODA trends
Japan has assisted the international community with $ 15,586,964,000
by 2017, while the ODA / GNI ratio is 0.23%, which is 0.7% of the

The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), a representative organization in Japan, is strategically performing three priority projects in line with the slogan
"Basic Design for Peace and Health."

Maternal health
Maternal health is a problem not only for the mother but also for the health of the child. This is one of the urgent issues to be addressed in developing countries. JICA has expanded its activities to prepare guidelines for maternal health and apply them to developing countries. We also produce maternal health handbooks and distribute them to developing countries.
disease management

The activities include loans for vaccines, including polio vaccines, rapid diagnostic kits, and early warning systems.
