Newly formed alumni associations of former participants in training courses in Japan need to be certified by JICA to be eligible for official support.
In this regard, please note that the number of alumni associations is normally one per country, although we basically welcome all new alumni associations. In cases where there is an existing youth invitation association or ethnic-Japanese trainee alumni association, please consider forming a link with it.
A key condition for certification as a JICA alumni association is consensus support by the former participants in the country concerned.
