Abstract

A telecommunications network is an essential component of a national infrastructure for both socioeconomic development and modernization. Since the middle of the twentieth century, Japan’s government and industries have made significant financial and human resource investments in conducting a variety of ODA programs. This chapter provides an overview of Japan's international cooperation in the field of telecommunications, describing the characteristics of its assistance compared to other major donors and the specific support for the development of telecommunications infrastructure in developing countries. Furthermore, Japan’s approach to multilateral frameworks specializing particularly on the telecommunications sector and the direction of future international cooperation in the ICT field are summarized.
