Overview
One of JICA’s initiatives is to promote the use of Japanese
private-sector technology to support social and economic progress in
developing countries. In addition to contributing to development, the
activities also help officials in these countries to better understand
the diverse and advanced technologies offered by Japanese companies.
Through the announced project, Mitsubishi Electric will deliver its
wide-area water network monitoring system to Sri Lanka’s National Water
Supply and Drainage Board (NWSDB). The company also will provide
operational training, including opportunities to observe and train with
an actual system that is operating in Japan, and tours of factories
producing water-treatment equipment.
