importance on "selection and concentration" on the target priority issues, securing further effectiveness and efficiencies of the project.
A single project (one phase) is designed to have four batches (Fellows in each fiscal year constitute one batch), and this is the third
batch in phase 2 in Vietnam
The Fellows of the JDS program are
selected from public sector and JDS
focuses on the Priority Organizations
which mission is closely related to the
target priority areas (Sub-Program) and
development issues (Component).
The new JDS Project consists of the

sectors
called
Sub-Program
and
Component, which correspond to and
deal with the selected target priority areas
and development issues, which were
confirmed as being indispensable to the
economic and social development of the
country.
Component 1-1

About the selection and criteria

As shown in the chart above, you will have to search a lot of information and literature before
challenging the JDS. Here, it is important to know in advance about the selection and its
evaluation criteria (P5) and prepare your AF and, RP with a view to the selection.
(1) JDS analysis

About JDS objectives and framework
First of all, lets start studying JDS. Objectives of JDS is written in P2. Sub-Program and
Component (SP/CP) and Priority Organizations (PO) are shown in P15~22. But, here,
most importantly, you have to note the reasons why JDS is provided to the government sector,
why SP/CP and PO are set in the JDS framework. The answers to those questions will be an
important basis in starting further preparation for AF, RP and the selection.
JDS is designed to support the human resource development of Vietnam

Government sector can directly and widely contribute to the development.
SP/CP are set based on the development plan of the Government of Vietnam
(GOV). and Japans aid policy.
PO are considered to be closely involved in the development.
(2) Country analysis

As mentioned in (1) JDS analysis above, SP/CP is set based on the development plan of
the Government of Vietnam (Socio-Economic Development Strategy (SEDS), Human
Resource Development Strategy (HRDS), etc). First, read and understand a background of the
SP/CP you want to apply for (P15~) to know what kind of development issues are assumed
and what kind of research are expected in JDS. Then, get information on development issues
of Vietnam (SEDP, issues of your workplace, etc) 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).
Read and understand a background of the SP/CP you apply for (P15~)
Check such materials as SEDS, issues of your workplace, etc.
(3) Workplace analysis

As shown in JDS framework (P15), PO is set under the each CP and considered to be
closely related with the development issues (CP) as mentioned in JDS analysis above.
Therefore, it is essential for you to know what kind of mission has in the context of the
development of Vietnam. On the other hand, also observe what kind of issues your workplace
tackles, what are lacking in your workplace to solve the issues. Those observations will help
you conduct further analysis below.
Check missions and roles of your workplace in the context of the development of your
country.
Also observe what is necessary in your workplace to solve the development issues of
your workplace. Those observations will help you find reasons to study in Japan.

(4) University analysis

As shown in JDS framework (P15), Japanese universities (courses) are also set under the
each CP. Imagine a university which is to equip you with sufficient knowledge in order to tackle
development issues. They, of course, want a student with necessary academic level. In
addition, they also want a student who has a motivation to learn in their university. Then, how
do you show it?

Aid policy of Japan
One of the ways to show your motivation is how much you know about the university
you are applying for.
Access the university website to know their location, history, provided courses, the
faculty members.
Find some interesting professors, and check their research areas, current activities,
their published academic papers, etc.

(5) Career plan

As you can see it in Application Form (AF), you will be required to fill in [Q6] your work
experience, [Q7] Research proposal and [Q8] 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 grasp your career and study in the context of the development of your
country. This is a clear tip to answer to those questions in AF.
Question 6, 7, and 8 in the AF are NOT separate questions. They are very
coherent.
Aid policy of Japan
JDS
SP (Prioritized Field)
About work experience (Q6 in AF)

Due to no awareness of the connections among [Q6], [Q7] and [Q8], About [Q6], some people do
nothing but list up their daily work without being aware of those connections. As mentioned above,
it is important to show your current (or previous) works in the context of the development issues in
order to bridge your answers to the next questions (Research Proposal and career plan after
study).
Q6 just asks your current and previous works. But, based on your answers in this Q6, the
interviewers (The university and OC) try to guess if you can use learnt knowledge in your
work after you return from Japan. Therefore, as it were, Q5 and Q7 are two sides of the same
coin.
JPN
Univ.
- Current work
- Research
proposal
- After study
About Research Proposal (Q7 in AF)

The details about how to write Research Proposal (RP) is explained in P10. Here, based on the explanation above, keep in mind that the
RP is seen as extension of your work [Q6], which will also lead to your career plan after you study in Japan [Q8].
About contribution after study (Q8 in AF)
Many probably have trouble answering to this question about how you will contribute to the development after your study in Japan.
Considering the objectives of JDS, this is very important part through the selection. Every year, some seem to answer that 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, are
you interested in those answers?
If you already finish the analysis (2) ~ (4) above, you will be able to see what your country needs, what your workplace needs,
and you will discover what you should do for your workplace.
In this manner, it is important to overlay your future career (after your study in Japan) on the needs of your country and your
workplace, which also will be a solid and good reasoning to study in Japan!
(6) Japan analysis

The JDS Fellows are to conduct a research on development issues of their home countries. But, taking into account that they study in
Japan, you are recommended to know in advance, at least, about historical and empirical cases of Japan in your research field.
(7) Test preparation

As shown in Selection Process (P4), the results of English and math tests will be
used as references by the universities in the 1st selection (AF and RP screening by
the universities in Japan).
It is strongly recommended to prepare for those tests, improving your

ability by self-study. You can prepare both tests in advance!
About TOEFL test, get used to the test format using sample test and
textbooks.
About math test, question and solution of the past years test are
available at JDS website. Using the past tests, check rules and formulas in
school textbooks!

3. Guideline for Writing a Research Proposal

(1) Guideline for writing a research proposal
In the application for JDS, the research proposal for your Masters
thesis should
Address the current issues/problems of the current
socioeconomic development of your country and how to
remedy these issues/problems.
Present a detailed work plan on how and what you need to
achieve for the goal of your study.
The research proposal, which is submitted for the application is
not deemed to be final. It will be revised during the Masters
course in the line with the Component. What is the purpose of the
research proposal? It is to help its readers (faculty members of
graduate schools) evaluate the significance and potentiality of
your research through the following points:
1) Does the research plan address the important policy
questions of your country?
2) Does the research proposal show that you are strongly
motivated and adequately prepared to implement the
research successfully?
3) Who will benefit from the result of your research? Will the
result of your research contribute to solving or clarifying policy
questions important for your country?

4) Does the research help you to participate more effectively in
the development process of your country after your
completion of the course?
5) Is your academic background strong enough to implement
your research plan?
6) Is your job experience sufficiently rich to pursue your
research? (Not necessary if other application material is good
enough to show that the answers are positive.)
7) Does your research plan fit well with the program of the
graduate school you are applying for?
8) Is your research question academically significant?
The importance of each point, however, depends on the field of
study / school program you are applying for. Some graduate
programs may require more specific information about the data
and method of analysis. Therefore it is essential to go through the
University Information as well as the website of the university
carefully before writing research proposal. Writing a research
proposal is the beginning of your research. It is highly
recommended that you keep improving your research proposal
before coming to Japan after being selected as a Fellow.
(2) Outline of the research proposal (Example)

Title
Show the nature of your proposed research clearly, but try to avoid too short or redundant.

consider relevance with development issues and your workplace. List the preceding studies taken
up here in a reference section at the end of your research plan.
Shape and clarify what you want to reveal by your research. Its recommended to think research
purposes at higher level than one in your daily works. The research itself is not a purpose. Your
research is for the development of country and your workplace. Avoid contradicting the position of
your theme stated in the background above.
As for the research questions, set your questions, referring to the preceding studies above,
development issues of your country and workplace, and also taking into consideration your
research methodologies. With solid research questions, the research methodologies will be
clarified accordingly.
This is the main part of your research proposal. Develop your opinion and give more information.
Explain what & how to study.
Detail your research procedure within the given timeframe.
List sources and quality of evidence you will consult, the analytical technique you will employ,
and the timetable you will follow.

Vietnam sets a governmental target of industrialization by 2020 in its Socio-Economic Development Strategy
(2011-2020) and Socio-Economic Development Plan (2011-2015). These plans place a focus on sustainable
growth of the nation through enhancing global competitiveness and capacity building of government officials in order
to achieve an international integration and a stability of the society. Moreover, Human Resource Development
Strategy (2011-2020) emphasizes cultivation of government officials capable of coping with changes in the world
with the goal of global integration. It also focuses on strengthening administration, policymaking, and international
laws as prioritized areas.
In order to achieve national target of industrialization by 2020, Vietnam needs to strengthen international

accession of WTO in 2007 as a result of transitions to open markets and market economy after introduction of Doi Moi
in 1986, the system and capacity to properly implement economic reforms are necessary to be strengthened. While
the international economic environment has been changing, continuous reform of the economic systems in line with
internal and external economic conditions are necessary. Therefore, there is a need for capacity building of
government officials who are in charge of system and policy formulations.

For achieving sustainable economic growth, Vietnam should deal with increasing demand for transportation and
rapid urbanization. Further, it requires improvement of transportation network that contributes to smooth and safe
distribution of goods as well as human mobility. This improvement should be achieved through further development
of physical infrastructure such as roads, railways, seaports and airports. Moreover, Vietnam has to deal with other
issues such as development and quality control of human resources to operate and maintain the increasing property

Agriculture, forestry and fisheries industries are still important in Vietnam, accounting approximately 20% of the
GDP and 50% of the working population, although its industrial structure has been changing because of economic
growth. However, the income level of rural population which consists of approximately 70% of the nations
population remains low, and the gap of living standards between urban and rural areas is widening. Moreover,
Vietnam has not achieved global competitiveness in agriculture due to inadequate quality and safety assurance for

Vietnam has faced big changes both in society and economy in past 20 years. However, administration reform has
not been implemented in appropriate speed and its quality seems to be deficient. Now, the Government faces
various related issues. In particular, as Vietnam has achieved development to a certain degree, policy issues have
become more complicated and advanced. Consequently, many policies are formulated but not well operated.
Moreover, income gap among citizens is expanding, thus it is more important to reflect citizen's opinions on public
