JICA’s cooperation on transport infrastructure development in Tanzania

What you need to know:

Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is one of the largest bilateral development cooperation partners in the world, and it has been extending its cooperation through a variety of modalities such as technical cooperation, concessional loans, grant and Japanese volunteers in Tanzania.

JICA’s cooperation considers not only for quantity but also quality, since low-quality infrastructure would hinder development of the country in a mid/long-term. In this vein, JICA conducts projects in accordance with “the principles for quality infrastructure investment”. It was adopted at the G20 Osaka Summit in June 2019, and it shows the strategic direction to contribute to closing the infrastructure gap, develop infrastructure as an asset class, and maximizing the positive impacts of infrastructure investment according to country conditions. In addition, JICA assists to improve connectivity between two growing continents of Africa and Asia through Indian and Pacific oceans, since “Free and Open Indo-Pacific” is a key for social and economic prosperity and development of the continents.
