• GGA program (grant aid) and CEP (technical cooperation)

• JICA• GHIT Fund and the ADP• Japan shifting priority to Africa – Indonesia as middle income country

Recommendation

• Undertake both options simultaneously

• Benefit for Indonesia: accelerate infrastructure development. Enhance professionalism of Indonesia’s healthcare givers and providers

• Benefit for Japan: healthcare may be a lucrative sector. Tap into the labor market for healthcare givers.
