Kazuhiro Miyamoto - (OECD)

Kazuhiro Miyamoto is a “practitioner in residence” with the Local Development Forum in the OECD Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Cities and Regions. He will be at the OECD for a year to complete a research project on the international comparison of volunteerism and its support frameworks. He was the mayor of Moriyama City, located in Japan’s Shiga Prefecture, for 12 years until February 2023. Moriyama City has been characterized as a "liveable city”, due to high volunteer participation rates, which is his leading motivation for conducting this research project. He holds a Bachelor of Engineering of Architecture from the University of Tokyo, and formerly worked at Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) for 15 years. If you are aware of any good practices on volunteerism and its support frameworks in your city, please let us know!
