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.

1 “East Asia” means, in principle, Far East and Southeast Asia, namely Brunei Darussalam; Cambodia; Timor-Leste; Indonesia; Japan; Lao People's Democratic Republic; Malaysia; Mongolia; Myanmar; People's Republic of China; Philippines; Republic of Korea; Singapore; Taipei China; Thailand; and Vietnam. Use of the phrase “Taipei China” does not in any way reflect a position by the Bank or any of its member countries regarding issues of national sovereignty or diplomatic recognition.
