Application Guidelines

1. Background

In align with the Afghanistan National Development Strategy (ANDS), the Government of

Afghanistan has strengthened the Afghan-led and Afghan-own cluster approach since the London

Conference. At the Kabul Conference on July 20, 2010, the Government of Afghanistan and the

international community endorsed the national programs which were scrutinized by the effective

cluster approach.

Among the key development fields, “Infrastructure Development” and “Agriculture and Rural

Development” are significant fields for the improvement of the lives of the people of Afghanistan.

Thus, the Government of Afghanistan tries to accelerate the development through the cluster

approach, however, is facing the lack of human resource and institution capacity of the relevant

ministries/authorities/universities.

In this situation, both the Government of Afghanistan and the Government of Japan/ Japan

International Cooperation Agency (hereinafter referred to as “JICA”) shares the same vision of the

importance of the Afghan ownership and cluster approach, which would lead the infrastructure

development and agriculture and rural development projects. The Government of Japan/JICA is

supposed to conduct several projects such as Kabul Metropolitan Area Development in line with

those priorities and cluster approach. For the purpose of tangible and fruitful implementation of

those expected projects, it would be essential to have capable and well-educated human

resources in the line ministries in Afghanistan. Currently, however, Afghanistan suffers serious

shortfall of such workforce among related ministries, which hampers the proper and effective

project implementation and spontaneous development.

Under these circumstances, the Project for the Promotion and Enhancement of the Afghan

Capacity for Effective Development (PEACE) (hereinafter referred to as “the Project”) was

established by JICA as a technical cooperation project in the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in

2011.

2. Objectives

The objective of the Project is to support human resource development of Afghanistan,

targeting highly capable, young government officials and university faculty members

(hereinafter referred to as “Participants”), who are expected to engage in formulating and

implementing socio-economic development plans and become leaders in Afghanistan.

Participants of the Project will acquire expert knowledge, conduct research, and build

human networks through the study at Master’s course in Japanese universities, and are expected

to use such knowledge to take an active role in practically solving issues of the socio-economic

development issues that Afghanistan is facing. Furthermore, Participants of the Project are

expected to contribute to expand and enhance the foundation for bilateral relations between

Afghanistan and Japan, as persons having well-rounded knowledge of Japan.


2

The fields of study at Master’s course are identified based on needs of relevant

ministries/authorities/universities mainly belonging to the “Infrastructure Development” and

“Agriculture and Rural Development” clusters, and 18 fields of study (see the table below) have

been set as being indispensable to the socio-economic development of Afghanistan through the

preliminary survey conducted by JICA. The applicants of the Project are selected from the

relevant ministries/authorities/universities, most of which belong to the said 2 clusters.

10. Important Features of Japanese Graduate School

- Reference Information -

Graduate School System in Japan: Example

- Curriculum:

Comparing to US master program, there are less compulsory modules and common

core modules in Masters Program in Japan.

Soon after the enrollment in the Masters program in Japanese universities, students are

expected to begin their research activities in laboratory (or Kenkyushitsu in Japanese)

according to their choice. There is an advantage that students can experience research

work from early period of Masters Course.

Not only taking classes in a passive attitude, but students are also expected to have an

independent mind to conduct research based on their own research theme in Japanese

graduate schools.

2nd Year of Master

(October-March)

1st Year of Master(April-September)

■Example of Graduate School System in Japanese University

■ Research Work・ Soon after enrollment in Masters course,

students belong to laboratory, and study

under supervision of study supervisor.

■ Course Work・ Each university decides various course work

according to a regulation for graduate school

which requires at least 30 credits.

・ There are some cases that supervision by

study supervisor and/or study group are

compulsories and included to the number of

credits above.

・ Other compulsory subjects and common core

subjects are decided according to study area.

- Requirements for the completion of degree:

According to the regulation of graduate schools, the average required number of credits is

about 30. However, you need to confirm the university information as the numbers of

required modules for completing the degree differ by universities.

About Research Student:

There is a research student system which is original to Japanese graduate school.

A research student is defined as a part-time student who utilizes the time to

prepare for the entrance examination to be a graduate school student.

Research students are able to participate in the lecture, receive instructions from

professor and make use of university’s facilities. There are many cases that Japanese

universities admit international students to enroll in the university as a research student first.

In order to upgrade your status from a research student to a graduate school student,

it is necessary to pass the examination by each university. Therefore, research students

are expected to utilize their time to prepare for the entrance exam to be a graduate school

student.

You need to refer to “University information” provided by the Project Office whether the

university of your choice accepts you as a research student or as a graduate school student.

Generally, period of research student is 6 months to 1 year.

11. Guideline for Writing a Research Plan

I. A guideline for writing a research plan

Participants are required to develop their capacity through the study and research at Master’s

course in Japanese universities so that you can contribute to formulating and implementing

socio-economic development plans of Afghanistan in near future. Therefore, you are

recommended to identify and select research theme which is related to issues of

socio-economic development in Afghanistan.

As the research plan is a blueprint of research, the plan which you will submit for application

will not be the final and will be revised and refined many times during the course of your study

within the scope of “Fields of study” selected initially. However, you are requested to

elaborate the plan as much as possible at this stage by means of discussions with your

organizations and scrutinizing documents such as policy paper and strategic paper of your

organization.

The readers (faculty members of graduate schools) will evaluate your academic ability and

motivation for the study mainly from the following view points. Therefore you are

recommended to make these points clear in the research plan.

(1) Academic background and job experience of the Applicants

The Applicants are recommended to prove that your academic background and job

experience are sufficient to engage in research at Master’s course in Japan. Therefore, it

is essential to select research theme which is related to your current or future

assignment in your organization.

(2) Matching of research theme and program of graduate school of applicants’ choice

The Applicants need to show that the program of the graduate school is matched to

research theme of your choice. The readers (faculty members of graduate schools) will

decide if the program of the graduate school can support your research based on the

description in your research plan.

Therefore, it is essential that the Applicants read “How to find the best university

for you (Annex5)” carefully as well as web-site of the university and write the

research plan considering the requirements and characteristics of the graduate school

program. It should be noted that writing a research plan is an initial step of your research.

It is strongly recommended that you will continue to elaborate your research plan before

coming to Japan even after you are selected as the PEACE Participant.

(3) Linkage between research theme which you selected and developmental issues of

Afghanistan


17

At first, the Applicants are recommended to identify developmental issues yet to be

resolved through discussions with your organization and review existing documents such

as policy papers and strategic papers of the organization. Then, you need to select

research theme which helps to solve the issues. In research plan, linkage between

research theme and the issues needs to be clear.

The applicants are recommended to have discussions with your organization and to

describe in research plan how you will utilize expected outcome of research after

returning to Afghanistan.

It is recommended to prepare references of your research plan in case of the university

require them.


18

II. Structure of the Research Plan (Example)

The applicants are recommended (NOT MUST) to use the following structure as a guidance.
