      I. Introduction

      1.  The Asian Development Bank–Japan Scholarship Program (ADB–JSP) was set up in 1988 to encourage and strengthen human resource development in less developed countries. The main objective is to give qualified citizens of ADB’s developing member countries (DMCs) opportunities to pursue postgraduate studies in economics, business management, science and technology, and other development-related fields at selected educational institutions in Asia and the Pacific. After completing their studies, the scholars are expected to return to their home countries to apply and share their new knowledge and skills to promote socioeconomic development.

      2.  The Government of Japan has generously provided full funding for the ADB–JSP, with increasing contributions totaling around $135 million over the last 25 years. The funding covers tuition and fees; subsistence, including housing allowance; book allowance; medical insurance; travel; and research subsidies. It also includes the costs of administering the ADB–JSP at the 27 designated institutions in 10 countries in the region. The designated institutions are listed in Appendix 1 and the ADB–JSP coordinators are given in Appendix 2.

      3.  During 1988–2012, the ADB–JSP awarded 2,966 scholarships to students from 35 ADB DMCs. More than 90% of the scholars came from 15 DMCs that are home to most of Asia’s poor. The top six participating DMCs are Viet Nam, Nepal, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Indonesia, and the People’s Republic of China (PRC), in that order. Appendix 3 gives a breakdown of scholarships awarded and completed, with details of the countries with the highest number of recipients. Of the scholarships that have been awarded, 95% were for master’s degrees, 4% for doctoral degrees, and 1% for diploma and certificate courses. A total of 1,045 scholarships, or 35% of the total, were awarded to women. Female scholars have historically been outnumbered by male scholars, but efforts to promote the program among women have led to an increase in the proportion of female scholars, from 17% in 1988 to 43% in 2012. Appendix 4 gives a profile of all scholars and graduates to date.

      4.  During the last 10 years of the program, there has been an average of 150 new scholarships a year. Of the 2,966 ADB–JSP recipients since 1988, 2,627 have completed their coursework. The course levels and the number of ADB–JSP recipients who have graduated are as follows: (i) master’s degree programs, 2,483; (ii) doctoral programs, 121; and (iii) 1-year certificate or diploma courses, 23. Regarding the fields of study, 1,099 scholars majored in science and technology, 865 in economics, and 659 in business and management. Four recipients completed master’s degrees in law. The ADB–JSP will ensure an increasing number of fields of study such as economics, international public health, environment, agriculture, and women’s studies. Table 1 shows annual data on scholarships awarded and completed.

      5.  The Asian Institute of Management (AIM) in the Philippines had the highest number of ADB–JSP recipients, with 446 (15.0%); followed by the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) in Thailand and the International University of Japan (IUJ), which each had 321 (10.8%); the University of Tokyo with 317 (10.7%); and the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS) in Japan, with 219 (7.4%). Appendix 5 shows the scholarships awarded and completed at each designated institution during 1988–2012.

      A. Scholarship Budget

      6.  In 2012, the Government of Japan contributed $9.213 million to the ADB–JSP, a 2.9% decrease from the $9.495 million contributed in 2011. A total of 297 scholarships were programmed for the year. Of the total, 60% were allotted to designated institutions in Japan; 14% to designated institutions in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States; and 26% to designated institutions in the remaining six countries. The ADB–JSP audited financial statements as of 31 December
