The Japan International Cooperation Agency, JICA, through its international volunteerism scheme, Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers, JOCV, is actively supporting Ghana across various sectors, with a primary focus on health, education, trade and industry.
The technical cooperation project "Enterprise Development with Kaizen" implemented by the Ghana Enterprise Agency (GEA) and JICA is helping businesses in Ghana adopt the world-class principles of Kaizen.
Kaizen is a Japanese business improvement term which means 'change for the better' or 'continuous improvement.
In Mampong, a town in the Ashanti region of Ghana, local businesses are gradually embracing the Kaizen principle, and they are experiencing improvements in their business processes, turn-around time and overall productivity.
