Founded in 1974, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is an aid implementing agency that provides technical cooperation and other forms of assistance to partners in the South. JICA's assistance to Ghana addresses the following priority areas and development issues: (1) revitalization of rural regions (raising incomes, improving basic living conditions, and building infrastructure), (2) agricultural development that utilizes the country's potential (nurturing industries that make use of Ghana's diverse resources, such as culture, traditions, and nature; human resources development; promoting manufacturing and service industries that can survive intraregional conflict; and putting in place industrial infrastructure), and (3) administrative capacity building (improving the administrative capabilities of central and regional governments).
