Key JICA Milestones
1974 The Japanese Government initiated Official Development Assistance in
Papua New Guinea. The first Japanese ODA project in PNG was a grant
aid project through which the National Fishery Training College was con-
structed in Kavieng.
Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) was established.
The first PNG trainee participated in a technical training program in Ja-
pan. The purpose of the training was to improve trainee's commerce and
marketing skills.
The first technical cooperation project was implemented in PNG.
The project aimed at developing sustainable woodland in Madang to
support and strengthen the livelihood of the local people.
The first Japanese yen loan projects were implemented in PNG.
Both the Wabag Water Supply Project and the Goroka Sewerage Facili-
ties Construction Project were implemented at the same time.
The first batch of Japanese Overseas Cooperation Volunteers arrived in

Japanese cooperation to PNG started in 1974
Japanese cooperation to Papua New Guinea started one year before the inde-
pendence of Papua New Guinea in 1975. The first grant aid was provided in
1974 for the construction of the National Fishery Training College at Kavieng.
JICA’s cooperation to Papua New Guinea is determined through consultation
with the Government of Papua New Guinea in order to align with PNG’s devel-
opment priorities under Vision 2050, Development Strategic Plan 2010-2030,
Medium Term Development Plan 2011-2015, Alotau Accord and annual budg-
ets. JICA’s focus in Papua New Guinea is embraced in a wider regional con-
text of the Japanese approach towards the Pacific Islands, which has been
agreed in the triennial Pacific Leaders Meeting (PALM) hosted by the Japa-
nese Government. In November 2018, Papua New Guinea will host Asia Pacific
Economic Cooperation (APEC). JICA has been assisting Papua New Guinea
as a host throughout human resource development programmes.
Japanese cooperation focuses on 3 priority areas
