Sharing lessons with the world: 15 years after the Great East Japan Earthquake
Japan is one of the world’s most disaster-prone countries. While many lives have been lost to earthquakes, tsunamis, and severe weather, Japan has continually learned from these experiences and developed knowledge and technologies to protect people’s lives, society, and the economy. JICA is working to apply these lessons in developing countries.
Fifteen years after the Great East Japan Earthquake, this report highlights JICA’s ongoing efforts.

Women shaping the future of peace: From the front lines of WPS
In many parts of the world, conflicts and disasters are occurring in succession, heightening the risk of women facing various forms of disadvantage. The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) not only provides relief to such women as “victims,” but also positions them as “agents of peacebuilding,” pursuing a range of cooperation under the principles of the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda.
Ahead of International Women’s Day on March 8, Hirose Megumi, senior director of JICA’s Office for Gender Equality and Poverty Reduction, and journalist Hamada Keiko sat down to discuss the WPS agenda and related issues.

Telemedicine project optimized in Thailand saves mothers’ and babies’ lives
JICA's international cooperation has produced many cases in which achievements in developing countries are returned to Japan, contributing to solving domestic challenges and supporting business activity. One such example is a perinatal telemedicine system that originated in Kagawa Prefecture, was further refined in Thailand, and then returned to Japan. In areas across Japan where the shortage of obstetricians is becoming more serious, the system's small heart-shaped devices are helping to protect the lives of pregnant women and their babies.
