Infrastructure Development 
Japan’s contribution towards capacity building at KEMRI is not only concerned with 
technology transfer, but also infrastructure development.    The main buildings of the 
KEMRI Headquarters and a large quantity of equipment were procured through 
Japanese assistance.  KEMRI has evaluated that this advanced infrastructure and 
equipment enabled KEMRI to implement collaborative research activities with foreign 
institutes.  These collaborative research activities with other foreign institutes have 
also improved the research capacity of KEMRI. 
The case of JICA’s cooperation with KEMRI is one of the successful examples of the 
synergistic effects that JICA’s technical cooperation has achieved through a well 
utilized research infrastructure that was developed with Japanese grant aid, and this 
infrastructure and the transferred technology has enabled the institute to carry out 
collaborative research with other foreign institutes.
