I. Concept
Background
It has become under wide recognition that in preventing volcanic disaster,
coordination among stakeholders - central/local government, academia, mass media,
and residents is indispensable, in addition to the installation of anti-disaster facilities.
Central and South American countries, located at the eastern fringe of “The Pacific
Ring of Fire” or the circum-Pacific belt where the Nazca, Cocos and Caribbean Plates
meet, possess certain number of active volcanoes.
Preparing for the potential disasters, those countries certainly have taken
countermeasures such as the introduction of monitoring system, seismograph and
hazard maps etc. However, it seems that installation of those facilities were not enough
to secure inhabitants life, symbolized by the death of 25,000 people in the eruption of
Nevado del Ruiz, in 1985.
Japan situated at the western fringe at the Pacific Ring of fire, also shares similar
geographic situation to Central and South America. Especially Hokkaido has Mt. Usu,
famous for its frequent eruption in the past 100 years. Under the circumstances, Japan
has been accumulating with experiences and know-how for volcanic disaster
management. The 2000 eruption of Mt. Usu with no casualties is one of the most
symbolic cases in Japanese volcanic disaster prevention history, where all the local
residents safely evacuated under the efficient collaborations among stakeholders in
addition to the role/function of anti-disaster facilities.
This course is intended to assist in creating appropriate methods to minimize the
damage of volcanic disaster and capitalize it as resources for regional promotion,
achieving harmonious co-existence with volcanoes. Through out the course, an
experienced course leader, who has been playing key role in coordinating stakeholders
in Mt. Usu regions will guide the participants.
For what?
This program aims to create appropriate solutions for volcanic disaster management in
participant’s country so that the inhabitants will be able to co-exist with the environment.
For whom?
This course is offered to those engaged in volcanic disaster prevention and
management on the ground.
※In order to enhance the coordination among stakeholders, it is favorable that various
organizations join from one country.
How?
Lectures and Site visits will be organized to understand the situation in Japan. Further,
presentation, discussion, and workshop sessions will be held to deepen the
understanding, and promote sharing ideas among participants.
At the end of training course, participants are expected to propose “Action Plan” to be
implemented in respective countries / organizations.
※For better understanding of your situation, it is recommended to bring material such

For Your Reference
JICA and Capacity Development
The key concept underpinning JICA operations since its establishment in 1974 has been the
conviction that “capacity development” is central to the socioeconomic development of any country,
regardless of the specific operational scheme one may be undertaking, i.e. expert assignments,
development projects, development study projects, training programs, JOCV programs, etc.
Within this wide range of programs, Training Programs have long occupied an important
place in JICA operations. Conducted in Japan, they provide partner countries with opportunities to
acquire practical knowledge accumulated in Japanese society. Participants dispatched by partner
countries might find useful knowledge and re-create their own knowledge for enhancement of their
own capacity or that of the organization and society to which they belong.
About 460 pre-organized programs cover a wide range of professional fields, ranging from
education, health, infrastructure, energy, trade and finance, to agriculture, rural development, gender
mainstreaming, and environmental protection. A variety of programs and are being customized to
address the specific needs of different target organizations, such as policy-making organizations,
service provision organizations, as well as research and academic institutions. Some programs are
organized to target a certain group of countries with similar developmental challenges.
Japanese Development Experience
Japan was the first non-Western country to successfully modernize its society and
industrialize its economy.
At the core of this process, which started more than 140 years ago, was
the “adopt and adapt” concept by which a wide range of appropriate skills and knowledge have
been imported from developed countries; these skills and knowledge have been adapted and/or
improved using local skills, knowledge and initiatives. They finally became internalized in Japanese
society to suit its local needs and conditions.
From engineering technology to production management methods, most of the know-how
that has enabled Japan to become what it is today has emanated from this “adoption and adaptation”
process, which, of course, has been accompanied by countless failures and errors behind the success
stories. We presume that such experiences, both successful and unsuccessful, will be useful to our
partners who are trying to address the challenges currently faced by developing countries.
However, it is rather challenging to share with our partners this whole body of Japan’s
developmental experience. This difficulty has to do, in part, with the challenge of explaining a body
of “tacit knowledge,” a type of knowledge that cannot fully be expressed in words or numbers.
Adding to this difficulty are the social and cultural systems of Japan that vastly differ from those of
other Western industrialized countries, and hence still remain unfamiliar to many partner countries.
Simply stated, coming to Japan might be one way of overcoming such a cultural gap.
JICA, therefore, would like to invite as many leaders of partner countries as possible to
come and visit us, to mingle with the Japanese people, and witness the advantages as well as the
disadvantages of Japanese systems, so that integration of their findings might help them reach their
developmental objectives.
