TOMODACHI NGO Leadership Program supported by J.P. Morgan
The TOMODACHI NGO Leadership Program supported by J.P. Morgan is a multi-year commitment to support capacity development of Japanese NGOs, building upon the learning from the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011. This three-year program consists of a series of short-term exchanges and workshops that promote idea exchange and practical training between U.S. and Japanese NGO leaders.
The program will lead to a stronger, more vibrant and more active Japanese NGO community better prepared to work alongside international partners in conducting effective future relief and recovery activities. The program will also bring forth substantial resources that would not otherwise be available to Japanese NGOs.
