Japanese Grant Aid for Human Resource Development Scholarship (JDS) Program

The JDS Program is to provide nationalities of Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Kyrgyz, Laos, Mongolia, Myanmar, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan with opportunities for academic research at Japanese higher educational institutions under the Grant Aid assistance by Government of Japan.

The objective of the JDS program is to support human resource development in each participating country by fostering young government officials who are expected to facilitate the social and economic development of their countries in the 21st century. Another aim is for JDS Fellows, because of their experience in Japan, to contribute to the broadening and enhancement of the foundation for bilateral relations between their countries and Japan.

The JDS Fellows are expected to acquire specialist knowledge not only for individual capacity building but also for social capacity building and to engage actively and practically in addressing the social and economic development issues in their countries.  

The JDS fellows have been sent to the IRP, IDP, PMPP and MBA Programs at IUJ.  For further information on the JDS and to obtain an application, contact the JICA/JICE regional offices or your government in the relevant countries.
