Partnering with Other Sectors of Society
JCIE has placed special focus on bringing together key actors from various sectors of society—including civil society, business, government, and academia—to tackle cutting-edge issues. It also carries out research and dialogue projects on various aspects of cross-sectoral cooperation. Increasingly JCIE has also facilitated various corporate philanthropy programs and support for foundations both in Japan and abroad. We have provided a list of these activities along with useful resources on our, "Facilitating Philanthropic Programs for Corporatoins and Foundations" page.
