Japan International Cooperation Center (JICE)
The Japan International Cooperation Center (JICE), a General Incorporated Foundation, was originally established as “Japan International Cooperation Service Center”, a foundation, in March 1977. On the occasion of changing the status to a general incorporated foundation in April 2013, JICE has set an objective of “contributing to the development of the global society through activities pertaining to strengthening mutually beneficial relationships between Japan and other nations”. Since then, JICE has been committed to human resources development with a view to contributing to Japan’s international cooperation activities by implementing “International Student Service”, “International Participant Training”, “International Youth Exchange, and “Multiculturalism Promotion Service” along with “Japanese Language Education”, conducted domestically.
