Economic and Social Development

Our Economic and Social Development Group focuses on private sector development and human resources training in industrial development.

In the field of trade and investment promotion, we have provided related governmental institutions of the targeted countries with assistance and technical advice for policy formulation, improvement of implementing ability for the goal of trade and investment promotion, by dispatch of our experts as JICA advisors.

We have continued making large impacts in the field of human resources training in industrial development by not only enforcement of the country’s policy and systems for the key and supporting industries by JICA experts, but also increase in the competitiveness and strengthening vocational training ability at training centers and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). This has been achieved by applying Japan’s technology, know-how, and organizational power, which have gained more attraction in emerging countries.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Livestock & Dairy Development Department

Summary :

In livestock production, which is a key industry in Pakistan, the production of raw milk is low due to insufficient nutrition of livestock, inadequate breeding management, and poor rearing environment.
In order for small-scale farmers to increase milk production from buffaloes and cows and improve their income, it is necessary to introduce appropriate technologies that are not bound by tradition and to strengthen the extension system.
This project aims to improve services to support the increase in production in milk and dairy products by small-scale farmers in three districts in the Hazara region.
The main activities of this project are: (1) demonstration of appropriate dairy farming technologies, (2) improvement of knowledge and capacity of public and private livestock technicians through the implementation of model extension activities, and (3) improvement of marketing and supply chain of milk and dairy products. As women farmers play a major role in livestock management, efforts are also being made from a gender perspective.
