Development studies support the formulation of plans for public projects that contribute to social and economic advancement in the recipient country, at the request of developing countries, by producing, for example, urban environment improvement master plans, and feasibility studies on freshwater quality improvement plans. At the same time, they also serve as a means of technology transfer, such as analytical skills and methods of planning and survey, to counterparts in the recipient country.

Reports prepared as outputs of the study provide recipient governments with data for assessing social and economic development policies. They also offer international organizations and donor countries materials for considering financial aid and technical cooperation.

The study is implemented under the initiative of JICA, and the Ministry of the Environment is involved in the studies in the environmental field.
