📋 Tender Overview
SATREPS Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development is a science and technology diplomacy initiative that promotes international joint research between Japan and developing countries using advanced Japanese science and technology. The SATREPS program is a collaboration between JICA the Japan Science and Technology Agency JST and the Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development AMED.SATREPS aims to acquire new knowledge useful in addressing global issues in such areas as the environment and energy bioresources disaster prevention and mitigation and infectious disease control. Such knowledge can be utilized for the benefit of society including for the capacity-building of researchers and research institutes in developing countries based on local needs.Collaboration between JICA and JST is focused on three research areasenvironment and energy bioresources and disaster prevention and mitigationand collaboration between JICA and AMED is focused on the research area of infectious disease control.The following projects have been provisionally selected for FY2020. Before starting a project an international agreement needs to be signed between MOFA and the government of the developing country regarding implementation of the project followed by an agreement on the details of technical cooperation between JICA and the research counterparts in the developing country. However the situation in the developing country or the result of discussion of details with the research counterparts may result in the research plan for the provisionally selected project being modified or the project itself being terminated. For this reason the status of the projects is provisional. counterpart country Principal Investigator in Japan affiliation1.
