JICA - Japan International Cooperation Agency (South Africa)

JICA South Africa Office is located in Pretoria, the administrative capital of South Africa. This location allows for easy access to national government departments, the Embassy of Japan, and other international development partners.

Ever since its establishment in 1997, JICA South Africa Office has grown in size and scope. As of September 2009, the staff complement in South Africa includes 11 Japanese staff, 11 national staff, five Japanese experts, and 10 Japanese volunteers.

Besides South Africa, JICA South Africa Office serves Botswana, Namibia, and Zimbabwe. In addition, JICA South Africa Office also renders a supporting role to Angola, Lesotho, and Swaziland. Some of these countries have either JICA or JOCV offices, but the bulk of ODA activities fall under the jurisdiction of JICA South Africa Office.
