Outline of JICA Cooperation with KEMRI 
(1)
 
Objectives and Components of JICA’s Cooperation   
Based on the results of studies, it is to be expected that the series of JICA cooperation 
projects has aimed to strengthen the research capacity of KEMRI.    Human resources 
development in the health sector has been added as an additional objective of JICA’s 
cooperation, and workshops/seminars aimed at disseminating the research outputs to 
other medical organizations were started in 1990.       
As shown in Table 5.2, JICA started technical assistance for infectious diseases control 
under the Communicable Diseases Research and Control Project in March 1979, 
before KEMRI was established.  As of July 2004, when this evaluation study was 
being implemented, JICA had implemented a total of seven project-type technical 
cooperation activities.  In addition to technical cooperation, since 1999, JICA has 
implemented third-country training programmes (TCTP) two times at KEMRI, which 
acted as a counterpart institution.  This evaluation study considers this technical 
cooperation and the TCTPs to be part of a series of cooperation activities with 
KEMRI, and hence this evaluation is conducted accordingly.
