Closing Date: June 13, 2014.
This is the second year of our
pilot program, which supports projects whose focus are on reviewing current
challenges and issues shared among Japan and other Asian countries, and
proposing policy recommendations. The primary focus of the program is on
selected countries in South-east Asia and Japan. The program pays special
attention on drawing lessons from existing practices made by local communities,
especially in terms of following points: i) how local communities address the
challenges and find solutions; ii) the role of various stakeholders in those
processes; and iii) policy frameworks and social settings to support such
efforts.
Through this program, we try to
build a new form of partnership among Japan and other Asian countries, based on
empathy shared among peers who face common challenges, instead of conventional
ones such as donor / recipient relationships.
