The Training and Dialog Program in Japan is, since its inception in 1954, one of the main activities of the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA). Since its establishment, the JICA has contributed to Argentina’s development by providing professional training, as well as other technical cooperation programs; more than 2,500 Argentine professionals have participated in different courses in JICA’s training in Japan.
The ICA is an organization that was specially created by UNLP to promote training of professionals in international relations, carrying out of cooperative projects, collaboration between countries with a similar level of development, and an increase in outreach activities beyond the country’s borders.
The Agency, which is under the authority of Secretary of Institutional Relations of UNLP, promotes scientific exchange to bring about social development in the areas of health and education, to strengthen civil society, and to preserve the environment. Furthermore, this will foster knowledge transfer, export growth, productive development, and the development and strengthening of small and medium businesses.
