2 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 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 5 th 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 2/ 13
