As TAC stands for Transcend Associates Consultants, it is a firm of Associates (fellows) whose occupation is in the international cooperation loving developing countries.
TAC Associates are now working in approximately 20 countries. Among them, some Associates have been involved in JICA projects in various countries constantly since 1981 when JICA used to put its recruiting advertisement in newspapers.
I also have been working as an ODA consultant being involved in ODA projects in private companies, UNDP projects and JICA’s technical cooperation projects ever since I was dispatched to Ghana as one of the first batch JOCVs in 1977. At initial stage of TAC establishment, dispatching experts to JICA was its main business.
However, TAC has engaged in not only dispatching experts but consulting business as well as implementing various types of projects. In addition, TAC has been supporting Japanese advanced medical research activities in Vietnam. All TAC’s Associates being very fond of developing countries, have high sense of solidarity by Associates’ network, and communicate each other vigorously. Rather than providing aid to developing countries, they enjoy working together with people of developing countries.
From now on, we will continue challenging more to facilitate our Associates to work in international cooperation. As a result, TAC will become a more comfortable firm for them. I also would like to put my best efforts along with our Associates in order to improve quality of people’s life in developing countries though it may be a tiny hand.
