In the program, ” Programme for Developing Human Resource to Contribute to SDGs by Merging African Potential and Japanese Scientific Technology “, we will develop human resources who can understand sustainable development based on the social structure and potential of local communities in Africa, centered on high-productivity agriculture including a system of distribution, processing and sales, and contribute to joint activities between Japan and Africa.
It will be conducted in the educational programs in the Graduate Programs in the Schools of Agriculture and International Studies from the Graduate School of Regional Development and Creativity (GRDC) at Utsunomiya University.

Green is one of the “Pan-African colors” which are green, yellow, and red. It is a common color used for the national flags of the four countries which the partner universities in this program belong to.
Green represents “lands” in Kenya and Tanzania’s national flag, “forests and fields” in Ghana’s flag, and “the richness and the fertility” in Ethiopia’s flag. It really matches with the theme of this program.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) also use “green” in the logos for Goals 3, 13, and 15. In particular, Goal 15 (Life on land) coincides with this program’s aim.
As such we used light green to represent the richness of the African Continent, and dark green to the letters UU (Utsunomiya University) and A (the capital letter of Africa) to show the strong will. We drew the arrow between UU and A in white, which means peace.
We created this logo wishing to build sustainable relationship and strengthen collaboration among the 6 universities and Utsunomiya University.
