In 1999, the Government
of Japan and the Inter-American Development Bank
(IDB) created the Japan Program (JP), with funds
mainly from Japan, as a focal point to plan, execute,
and follow up activities which strengthen the
links between East Asia1 , Latin America
and the Caribbean (LAC).
JP creates opportunities
for providing expertise, knowledge, and best practices
between the two regions and promotes partnerships
in support of economic and social development.
The Japan Program
bridges the Pacific tomorrow by transferring
development knowledge between Latin America, the
Caribbean and East Asia today.
