Through IDCE, a quite different kind of program has developed. Because of IDCE, many people in governmental organizations in other countries learned about KCG and its activities. They asked the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in their countries to receive more contributions from KCG. The local JICA offices contacted JICA in Tokyo (the central office); JICA in Tokyo asked us if we could offer a training program at KCG. This is how KCG became a JICA qualified institution for providing training programs in its computer technology assistance program.
For more than 10 years, with the support of JICA, KCG has been accepting training participants from different countries. The total number of participants so far is 160.
The training programs are in the ICT fields: computer programming, database technology, computer network technology, multimedia technology and web development. We try to individualize the program as much as possible.The participants are mostly from governmental organizations such as Ministry of Education, Ministry of Finance, Public Service Management President’s Office, Ministry of Science and Technology and National Universities. Their job titles are system analysts, programmers, training officers and lectures. Occasionally, we also have participants who are professors or teachers of universities and training institutions.
After studying at KCG, those sent from governments are to apply what they have learnt at KCG in order to improve their programs and social services in their countries. Those sent from universities/training institutions are to spread their new knowledge to their students. Dr. Yoichi Terashita and Mr. Koji Ueda of KCG have been the key staff in running of this program.
Along with another faculty at KCG, they have also been appointed as JICA specialists and have taught at Mozambique Information and Communication Technology Institute in Maputo, Mozambique, Mahidol University in Thailand, and Polish-Japanese institute of Information Technology in Poland. KCG is now well recognized by JICA and the governments of the participating countries as one of the best training programs for technology transfer in the ICT field.
