Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in Ethiopia has appreciated the commitment that Ethiopia has upheld in transforming its economy from agriculture to Industry based.<\/p>\n

Kensuke OSHIMA, Chief Representative, JICA Ethiopia Office, told ENA that Ethiopia has been making a significant shift from an agricultural to an industrial based economy.<\/p>\n

Recalling the opportunity, he had to visit Ethiopia 20 years ago, he witnessed the multifaceted changes in the country at present.<\/p>\n

The Chief Representative also reaffirmed JICA\u2019s commitment to bolstering development cooperation in the country, noting the two country\u2019s long-standing partnership.<\/p>\n

The country\u2019s strategic focus on industrialization is also backed by substantial investments in crucial sectors like education, health, and infrastructure, he added.<\/p>\n

He explained that JICA\u2019s development initiatives are broad, covering vital areas such as agriculture, rural development, infrastructure, industrialization, and education.<\/p>\n

Oshima also cited successful collaborations, including efforts to promote market-oriented agriculture, boost rice productivity, and advance water sector development.<\/p>\n

Beyond technical assistance, JICA places a strong emphasis on capacity building, aiming to strengthen both institutional frameworks and human capital throughout Ethiopia.<\/p>\n

The development projects currently underway in Addis Ababa and other regions clearly demonstrate the success of the country, Oshima stated.<\/p>\n

He concluded by reiterating JICA\u2019s firm commitment to collaborate closely with the Ethiopian government to foster sustainable and inclusive development.<\/p>\n
