February 15: Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has appointed Akimitsu OKUBO as its new chief representative of JICA Nepal Office.

According to a statement issued by JICA on Tuesday (February 15), Okubo will take over Yumiko Asakuma who recently completed her tenure in Nepal. Prior to this assignment, Okubo was working as a Senior Representative of JICA Nepal Office since August 2021.

He began his career in JICA from 1998, mainly working in the governance sector handling international cooperation, the statement added.

“He particularly contributed as the Director of Law and Justice Team of Governance Group of JICA headquarters in Tokyo (2014-2018) and was responsible in formulation and management of legal projects not only in Nepal but also many other nations, including Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, and West African countries.”

In order to raise awareness of legal cooperation in the public, he took the initiative in editing a publication, “Legal Cooperation in Japanese Style,” in 2017, the statement further said, adding. “He also served as Director of Legal Affairs Division in the headquarters of JICA in Tokyo before coming to Nepal.”

Okubo holds a bachelor’s degree in law from the University of Tokyo (1993) and a master’s degree in law from Cornell Law School (2005).

JICA said Okubo is honored to lead JICA Nepal Office and expressed his commitment in providing continued support to the people of Nepal and its government together with colleagues of JICA Nepal Office in enhancing development and prosperity in Nepal by realizing JICA's vision “Leading the World with Trust”.
