This initiative includes technical upgrades using radar data and human resource development through expert exchanges with Japan. JICA is also targeting an increase in Official Development Assistance (ODA) to over 100 billion yen annually to support Vietnam’s goal of becoming a high-income nation by 2045. Current programs include significant loans for green growth, climate change adaptation, and disaster-resilient rural development.
