Can LEBA-JICA Take the initiative to play a strategic role in the process of mutual humanitarian and civilization dialogue between Lebanon and japan?
Can LEBA-JICA meet the challenge to reform the alumni Association Activities from Classical Action Plan to active Policy that shares ideas with JICA about needs and priorities?
Certainly, this depends on the new vision that encourages members to continue full usage of knowledge and know-how acquired through the JICA training, and the Japanese Embassy support to LEBA-JICA through Wider margin in selecting more fields of training, that provide the necessary tools to strength their efforts to found a platform of cooperated communications based on new ideas and initiatives wherever appropriate, Where Japanese forgiveness power and hard work voluntary will integrate with Lebanese Needs for assistance to enhance knowledge.
We need to review what we have already accomplished and then decide what we need to do, certainly, some of the criticisms leveled at LEBA-JICA are justified, but they are useful to help us improve the quality of our own performance.
By “LEBA-JAP” Vision, which is “a step of transition”, We plan to have a major push starting in 2013, to solidify the progress already made and the future potential. LEBA-JICA is going to do a lot to take more positive measures in Lebanon. We are also planning to enhance the benefits from JICA leading situation in global developments by strengthening the Lebanese engagement with the Development Goals on Green Economy, poverty reduction, education, potential natural disasters, cooperation in the health sector and the vagaries of local labor markets to develop a sustainable food project, etc…
We probably need more research-based cooperation, more project evaluation and feasibility studies of preparatory work, by Result, we can ask JICA to provide the appropriate grant aid of such projects.
We now need to re-articulate and strengthen the concept of regional cooperation between LEBA-JICA and each of other Alumni Associations, to transform tacit knowledge and distinguished achievements into practical applications like the memorandum of understanding signed between LEBA-JICA and JICA alumni association in Iraq.
This strategy requires the cooperation of many partners, including Public Administrations, Municipalities, private sector, and universities.
By this strategy, we should be assured that JICA will take the right decision to Open a “JICA Lebanon Office” which will be useful to Lebanon as a progressive assistance tool for self-help efforts based on Japan’s development experience
There are many steps to complete and follow up such policy, which is very dynamic and complex Vision, There are many potential pitfalls, But we need to do our homework and we need to do things effectively.

Ali Ghrayeb
