“Priority Organizations (PO)” are shown in P14. Most importantly, you have to note the Development Policies
reasons why JDS is provided to the government sector, why SP/CP and TO are set in the
JDS framework. The answers to those questions will be an important basis in making
preparation for AF and RP.

 JDS is designed to support the human resource development of Mongolia.
 SP/CP are set based on the development plan of the Government of Mongolia. and
Japan’s aid policy. JDS

(2) Country analysis
As mentioned in “(1) JDS analysis” above, “SP/CP” is set based on the development plan of
the Government of Mongolia (National Strategy of Development Plan (NSDP), etc). First, read
Development Plan of Mongolia.
and understand the background of the SP/CP you wish to apply for (P15~) to know what kind
of development issues are assumed and what kind of research are expected under JDS. Then,

obtain information on development issues of Mongolia to deepen your understanding on the
status of the development. This analysis of present development status will be important not
only for making a RP but also for later selection steps (interviews).

members, etc.
 Find interesting professors, and check their research areas, current activities, their PO (Priority Organizations)
published academic papers, etc.
(5) Career plan

As you can see it in Application Form (AF), you will be required to fill in [Question 5] your
responsibility of your work, [Q6] Research plan and [Q7] future contribution. Those questions
are very coherent in the sense that each question asks [who you are / what you are doing now],
[what you want to do in Japan] and [what you can / want to do after your study]. So, those
questions ask how you relate your career and the study in the context of the development of
your country. This is a clear tip to answer to those questions in AF.
 Question 5, 6, and 7 in the AF are NOT separate questions. They are very coherent.
8
About "Responsibilities of Your Work" (Q5 in AF)

Due to lack of understanding of the connections among [Q5], [Q6] and [Q7], some people do nothing
but list up their daily work. As mentioned above, it is important to show your current (or previous)
work in the context of the development issues in order to bridge your answers to the next questions
(Research Plan and career plan after study). - Current work
- Research plan
 Q5 just asks your current and previous work. But, based on your answers in this Q5, the - After study
interviewers (The university and OC) try to guess if you can use acquired knowledge in your
work after you return from Japan. Therefore, Q6 and Q7 are two sides of the same coin.
About Research Plan (Q6 in AF)

The details about how to write a Research Plan (RP) is explained in P10. Based on the explanation above, keep in mind that the RP is
considered as an extension of your work [Q5], which will also lead to your career plan after your study in Japan [Q7].
About contribution after study in Japan (Q7 in AF)

Considering the objectives of JDS, this is a very important factor throughout the selection process. Every year, some applicants provide
answers such as “I will share my knowledge”, “I will teach at educational institutions” and so on. Those are, of course, important. But, if
you are a JDS interviewer, would you be attracted by such answers?
 It is important to layout your future career plan (after your study in Japan) in relation to the needs of your country and organization ,
which also will be a solid and good reasoning to study in Japan.
(6) Test preparation
 It is strongly recommended to prepare for those tests, improving your ability TOEFL preparation
by self-study. You can prepare both tests in advance! ETS web site

Background and Needs
Since mineral resource is the most important sector which leads the economic development of Mongolia,
supporting development of mining sector in the context of sustainability enhancement is requisite. Because
development of mineral deposit excessively expands while the other necessary developments, such as
human resource are still immature, it is indispensable to formulate a plan for development and improve the
monitoring system in central and regional governments as well as human resources in both public and private
sectors. JDS Project is expected to help formulate development plans for mining sector and foster the human
resource in improvement of relevant rules and regulations.
Objective
(1) Project Objective

The objective is to strengthen the government’s administrative capacities in the country, through providing
opportunities to obtain the Master’s degree to the young capable government officials who are expected to
play leadership roles to contribute to the socio-economic development of the country. It also aims to build a
human network, and eventually strengthen the bilateral relationship / partnership between Japan and
Mongolia.
(2) Project Design
1) Overall goal
To ensure that the human resource development through JDS Project will help to improve the institutional
capacities of relevant administrative institutions, which are engaged in mineral resource management.
2) Project purpose

revenues produced by the mineral resource development is pointed out, and the economy and finance are
susceptible to international market and prices of mineral resources.
In order to make the economy of Mongolia sustainable, reforming the finance market opened for foreign

Mining sector which leads Mongolian economy cannot generate new jobs, and any industry which is other
than the traditional key industries, such as agriculture stock raising, except for cashmere industry, is way
behind the development. As it is expected that the labor force population in the young increases and there is
a fare that the unemployment issue of the young will grow, a creation of new jobs will be a matter of the
upmost importance. It is necessary to generate new jobs by improving the gateway for investments, small
and medium-sized enterprises and human resource with specialties in order to diversify the structure of
industries.
Furthermore, industries related to agriculture and farming (exports of meat, cashmere, and sea-
buckthorn, and import replacement of vegetables) is one of the industries which have possibilities of rapid
growth. Therefore, the supports for management of agriculture and farming are of high importance.

While the economy of Mongolia is drastically developing, the profit generated by economic development
does not reach all the citizens in Mongolia and the poverty ratio and economic disparities still remain high.
Because the quality and access of basic social services, such as social security need improvements, the poor
cannot receive the adequate service. In order to reduce the poverty and disparities in the society by the use
of expected revenues of the mining sector, it is necessary to improve the said issues in the society.
Furthermore, the population and industry of Mongolia are overly concentrated into the city of Ulaanbaatar,
and the economic disparity has become large. Yet, analyzing factors to solve the disparity and identifying
issues to be developed have not been done sufficiently, and the human resources who are engaged in regional
development need to be reinforced.
In order to tackle these issues, it is imperative to deal with the improvement of basic social services with
the use of the knowledge and skills which Japanese government has obtained through experiences in
technical assistance to Mongolia. Particularly, it is crucial in terms of the cooperation with other partners in
the field of development, and the human resource development for those who are engaged in policy making
are taken into the consideration.

The population in the city of Ulaanbaatar has drastically increased after the transition of market economy,
and about 40% of the population in Mongolia lives in Ulaanbaatar. As the population drastically increases,
many urban problems, such a lack of the basic infrastructure (water supply and sewerage system), traffic jam,
air pollution, and solid contamination become conspicuous and serious.
By taking into consideration of these situations, JICA has provided supports from both the improvement
of infrastructure and technical cooperation based on the urban master plan developed in the year of 2009.
Despite the supports from JICA, the human resources who are engaged in the management of infrastructure
and urban development policy are still inadequate.

After the transition of market economy, the population of the capital city of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar, has
increased by continuous migration from rural areas. As the population grows, the ger area in the city has
expanded, and air pollution, disposal management and safe water resource become main issues. Hence,
environment-friendly infrastructure reforms and improvements of sufficient ability for its management become
imperative.
At Ulaanbaatar City Administration and Ministry of Environment and Green Development, there is a need
for the development of human resources who lead the policy making and implementation for urban
environment management and legal reform. As urban formation which reinforces disaster management
recently has attracted attentions, the degrees which can be obtained under this component are urban
environment design, disaster management, and social foundation management.

＜民間枠＞
日本の政府開発援助に関連するモンゴル民間企業（詳細は資格要件のとおり）
（２）背景と必要性（当該国の開発政策における本事業の位置づけ）
モンゴルの経済成長の牽引役である鉱業部門は雇用吸収力が低く、伝統的基幹産業の農牧業以外には、カシ
ミア産業などの一部を除き、雇用を吸収する他の産業が成長していない。また、今後、労働市場に参入する若年
層の増加が見込まれており、若年層を中心とする失業問題が深刻化する恐れがあり、社会の安定の観点からも
雇用対策は重要な課題の一つである。そのため、産業構造の多角化を見据え、投資窓口の整備、中小・零細企業
や専門人材の育成を通じ、雇用創出を支援していく必要がある。
併せて、モンゴルにおける地方産業の多角化を考える上で、農牧関連産業（食肉、カシミア、サジー等の輸
出、野菜の輸入代替）は最も成長のポテンシャルのある産業の一つであり、農牧業経営支援の重要性も高い。
（３）我が国及び JICA の援助方針とその実績（これまでの JDS 留学生の成果含む）
我が国政府の「対モンゴル国国別援助方針」（2012 年）では、重点分野「全ての人々が恩恵を受ける成長の
実現に向けた支援」の開発課題の一つとして「産業構造の多角化を見据えた中小・零細企業を中心とする雇用
創出」を定め、投資窓口の整備、中小・零細企業や専門人材の育成を通じ、雇用創出を支援していくとしてい
る。若年層の雇用問題への対応としては、留学生支援のほか、教育・研究環境の整備等の協力についても検討
し、最大の雇用創出が期待出来る農牧業部門では、持続可能な農牧業経営の普及を通じ、農牧民の収入機会の
確保及び生計向上を支援するとしている。
同援助方針に基づき、JICA はこれらの課題を解決するため、これまで技術協力プロジェクト「モンゴル・日
本人材開発センタープロジェクト」、円借款「中小企業育成・環境保全ツーステップローン」、技術協力プロジェ
クト「外国直接投資促進のためのキャパシティ・ディベロップメントプロジェクト」、「モンゴル国投資並びに
ビジネス交流促進情報収集・確認調査」等を実施してきた。これら事業では短期間の研修やセミナーを通じて、
行政官や企業人材の育成に貢献してきたが、中長期的な研修ニーズに対する対応が十分とはいえず、真の知日
派ビジネス人材の育成に対して戦略的な施策が求められている。
モンゴルにおける JDS 事業は 2001 年に開始され、2016 年 3 月までに 1~14 期生の合計 262 名を派遣し、
1~12 期生の 223 名がすでに卒業し帰国している。そのうち経営分野では 49 名が派遣されている。
