This information pertains to one of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)’s

Knowledge Co-Creation Program (Long-Term Training). This program will be implemented as

information are listed on the separated paper.

1. Background

Africa’s economy has been steadily growing since 2000, due to factors such as its

abundant natural resources and expansion of trade and investments. The International

Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates that growth rates in Africa will remain as high as 5.4% up to

2016. While each African nation sets a target for sustainable economic development, policy

implementation, aimed at turning commodity-based economies into multifaceted

industrialized economies through developing primary and secondary industries, is an urgent

matter. On the other hand, the International Labor Organization (ILO) points out that the

number of youth unemployment in Africa has reached nearly 75 million, almost one third of

the youth population (200 million) in the whole region. Given these circumstances, it is

expected that the yield of value-added industries and the realization of high productivity of

industries in Africa will resolve the issue as they generate job opportunities and bring about

more stabilized economies. Moreover, Japanese enterprises are showing strong recognition

of and interest in a prosperous Africa.

At the 5th Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD V), held in

Yokohama in 2013, the Japanese Government stated its policy of strengthening support for

the ongoing dynamic growth of Africa with stronger public-private partnerships. Japanese

Prime Minister Abe announced the “African Business Education Initiative for Youth” (hereafter

referred to as the “ABE Initiative”), a strategic five-year plan providing 1,000 youths in Africa

with opportunities to study at Japanese universities as well as do internships at Japanese

enterprises. The ABE Initiative was launched based on a joint recommendation by Japanese

industries, including the Federation of Economic Organizations (KEIDANREN) and the

Japanese government at “Public-Private Council for the Promotion of TICADV”. These bodies

pointed out that there is a need for human resource development in both private and public

sectors of Africa in order to cultivate a strong human network between Japan and Africa. The

recommendation also mentioned the significance of increasing the number of African people

visiting Japan, as well as increasing awareness among Africans regarding the efficiency of

Japanese technologies and systems of enterprises.

Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has been appointed to implement a

master’s degree and internship program within the ABE initiative framework developed for

countries whose official requests have been approved by the Government of Japan.

2. Objectives

The objective of Master’s Degree and Internship Program of the ABE Initiative is to

support young personnel who have the potential to contribute to the development of industries

in Africa. This program offers opportunities for young African personnel (hereafter referred to

as “participants”) to study at master’s courses in Japanese universities and experience

internships at Japanese enterprises. This program intends to foster excellent personnel who

can recognize and understand the contexts of Japanese society and systems of Japanese

enterprises so as to contribute Africa’s development in collaboration with Japanese private

sector. The expected outcome of the program is a network of potential contributors to the

development of African industries who will also lead Japanese private sector to engage

further in economic activities in/towards Africa.

In the case of all the research categories (except for screening division “Overseas Academic Research”),the first stage of the screening of the research fields thathave the indication “A” , “B” or "C" in the remarks column is carried out in separate groups. The basis for this division in separate groups is the keywords. Makesure to select "A" , "B" or "C" based on the Appendix Table of Keywords “Categories, Areas, Disciplines and Research Fields”, when applying for these researchfields.In the case of “Scientific Research (C)”, screening division “General” ,the first stage of the screening of the research fields that have the symbol “ ” is carriedout in separate groups. The basis for this division in separate groups is the keywords. Make sure to select a division number from "1" to "5" based on theAppendix Table of Keywords “Categories, Areas, Disciplines and Research Fields”, when applying for these research fields for the research category “ScientificResearch (C)”, screening division “General”. Moreover, for research fields that include "A" and " , make sure to select “A”, and subsequently select a divisionnumber “1” or “2”, when applying.In the case of “Scientific Research (C)”, screening division “General”, research fields carried in the “List of Disciplines and Research Fields with a Time Limit”have been set up as areas for screening, besides the main table.
