d for Fisheries
Japan has offered Grant Aid for Fisheries as part of Japan's ODA scheme since 1973.
The purpose of this grant aid is to contribute to the promotion of the fisheries industry in developing countries, as well as to devleop and maintain friendly and cooperative relations with Japan in the fishery field.
Within the framework of this grant aid, the Japanese Government provides funds for projects related to the development and utilization of fisheries resources such as:
(i) building fishery infrastructure (fishery harbour, breakwater, jetty, seafood processing and distribution centre, research or education centre for fishery, etc),
(ii) providing fishery equipment (fishing gear, cold storage equipment, fishing boat research vessel, etc) and
(iii) conducting community development programmes for fishing villages.
As Japan possesses some of the world's most modern fishery technologies and has ample experience in this field, it is meaningful to help the developing countries adequately develop and utilize sustainable fisheries resources.
