The Local Government International Cooperation Specialist Dispatch Project
There are many talented personnel working at Japanese local governments who have various knowhow. They can be trusted to deliver results across fields in mutual cooperation efforts with local governments overseas. To harness this expertise, CLAIR has produced the International Cooperation Specialist Database, a database of local government staff/retired staff with special expertise in international cooperation.
Project Overview
Objective: Contribute to the improvement of governance and expertise, foster human resources, and increase friendly relationships between Japanese and local governments overseas.
Means: Select candidate based on the wishes of the local governments overseas and dispatch them as a local government international cooperation specialist.
