9 5 Support for Capacity Building Fig. III Purpose Field Contents Examples Capacity Building Support It has become imperative for the international community to make concerted efforts in tackling non-traditional security challenges such as humanitarian assistance/disaster relief, anti-piracy, with the recent changes in international situation. The aim of capacity building supports is to stabilize the security environment in the Asia-Pacific region and globally by offering supports for developing countries to improve their capacities for dealing with such challenges. Non-traditional security fields (humanitarian assistance/disaster relief, anti-piracy, disposal of landmines and unexploded shells) Support of capacity building for militaries or related organizations in developing countries in Southeast Asia. Dispatch of specialists, acceptance of trainees etc. Current policies As a part of international peace cooperation activities, the Ministry of Defense of Japan (JMOD) and Self-Defense Forces (SDF) have implemented UN Peacekeeping Operations, International Disaster Relief Operations, Anti-Piracy Operations off the Coast of Somalia and in the Gulf of Aden. These activities are carried out in response to a security issue such as dispute and large-scale disaster which has actually happened. Capacity building support Activities based on a new conception to create stability in the region positively and actively, and improve the international security environment by conducting measures to increase capacities of supported countries through human resources development and technical support etc. in non-traditional security areas regularly on a continuing basis. Strengthen bilateral relations by providing support for capacity building, in a form that serves as a response to requests for support from the respective countries. Improve the international security environment by enhancing capacity in security fields in developing countries. Enhance the sense of trust toward the Ministry of Defense and SDF, and toward the whole of Japan, and thereby giving Japan a stronger voice in the international community, by ensuring an accurate perception among citizens and recipient countries of Japan s active contribution toward the peace and stability of the region. Compared to post-hoc response, the ability to prevent the occurrence of events, or to reduce the damage incurred after an event has occurred, would significantly reduce response costs. 320
