Description

<p>Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development Program, SATREPS, has been implemented for 9 years since its inception in 2008. One hundred and fifteen (115) projects were selected so far, including 14 preconditioned ones for the year 2016, in the 4 research fields which are environment/energy (climate change, global-scale environmental issues and low carbon society/energy), bio-resources, disaster prevention and mitigation and infectious disease control. Forty-nine (49) projects were completed by December 2016 and 52 are currently under operation. Fourteen (14) preconditioned projects are now under preparation for the conclusive selection before March 2017 through detailed planning surveys of the proposed projects and the diplomatic formalization. These totally 115 projects cover 46 countries of Japan’s counterparts of her official development assistance, ODA.SATREPS is an international research collaboration program co-supported by Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the aim of which is to find solutions for coping with the various global-scale problems facing by developing countries and to apply the solutions towards solving such problems as a social implementation. JST mainly supports research in Japan and capacity building of Japanese young researchers and, on the contrary, JICA does research collaboration in counterpart countries and building their human capacity and if necessary providing research equipment. The project will be conducted under the rule of JICA’s international cooperation and, therefore, it needs a request from developing countries to Japan through the diplomatic channel for application. During the course of the implementation of generally for 5 years, it is monitored every 6 months by JICA and yearly by JST. The achievement of the project will be reviewed in the mid-term of the implementation period and evaluated at the end of the project by JICA and JST independently but jointly for field observation and fact-finding regarding the achievement of the project. In this paper, SATREPS will be overviewed since its inception to the present and the expectation on SATREPS will be discussed on the viewpoint of solving global-scale problems prevailed particularly in the developing countries.</p>
