Pacific Island Nations Program
Building mutual trust between Japan and Pacific island nations and promoting peace and prosperity in the region through targeted research and localized projects
This program has worked to contribute to the stability of the Pacific region and prosperity of its island nations through exchanges, talent development, and related initiatives ever since the establishment of the Sasakawa Pacific Island Nations Fund in 1989. In recent years, it has focused heavily on supporting the Micronesia region, and in particular the Republic of Palau, given its intimate geographic and historical ties to Japan. The program also endeavors to further strengthen the ties between Japan and the Pacific island nations through new projects designed and implemented to respond to emerging issues these countries face due to regional changes and the COVID-19 pandemic.
