6. Budget, income and expenditure plan, and financial plan (excluding the Finance

24

and Investment Account)

See attachments 1, 2, and 3.

7. Short-term loan ceilings

General Account: 67 billion yen

Finance and Investment Account: 290 billion yen

Reasons:

The General Account requires loans to avoid late payments of personnel expenses

to staff members and operational expenses in the event of an approximately 3

months delay in the receipt of operational grants from the Japanese Government.

The Finance and Investment Account requires loans quickly and efficiently handle

events like short-term funding gaps that involve short-term loan repayments and the

collection of receivable loans, temporary funding when FLIP agency bonds are

issued, rapid changes in the amount of loans extended, and other events.

8. Using surplus funds (excluding the Finance and Investment Account)

JICA may allocate surplus funds to programs that will be able to improve its quality

of operations, facilities, and equipment through the use of those funds, while also

taking into consideration its progress toward the Medium-term Plan. The use of

reserve funds that have been accumulated by incurred profits through operational

grant expenditure reductions will be limited to expenditures that will be covered by

the operational grant (excludes those covered by subsidies, which is allocated

separately).

9. Other operational management related items stipulated by ordinances of the

competent Ministry

(1) Plan for facilities and equipment

JICA will repair and upgrade existing facilities and equipment as operationally

needed. This includes circumstances related to the aging of existing facilities,

among others.

(2) Personnel planning

that provides more flexibility, promotes active communication, and strengthens

knowledge management. In particular, JICA will work to improve its productivity

25

and its promotion of innovative work through JICA’s work style reform effort

called the “SMART JICA Project.” Also, JICA will implement measures to balance

professional development, life events, and family life, while also working to

develop national staff capacities through their participation in training programs.

In order to build JICA staff capacities and foster core human resources, JICA will

continuously implement career development programs, including the career

consultation program for junior staff members, as well as secondment programs for

staff to be dispatched to other organizations.

(3) Disposal of reserve funds that can be appropriated for financial resources of

operations prescribed in Article 31, Paragraph 1 of the Act for the Incorporated

Administrative Agency- Japan International Cooperation Agency

When reserve funds remain after the procedure prescribed in Article 44 of the Act

on General Rules for Incorporated Administrative Agency, the portion of the

amount approved by the competent ministers can be used as follows: for contracts

where liabilities exceed the medium-term Objectives period, caused by unavoidable

circumstances in the preceding Medium term plan; for handling accounts such as

the amount that affects profits and losses in the account for transitional functions

that were recorded during the previous Medium-term Objectives period and in other

cases.

For recovered claims and other funds that have been received during the previous

Medium-term Objectives period, those funds should be submitted to the Japanese

Government in accordance with the Act for the Incorporated Administrative
