In FY1994, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) decided to hold a 6-month course called “Museum Management Technology (Collection, Conservation and Exhibition),” in which a then professor of Minpaku, Tsuneyuki Morita played a central role. Minpaku as an institution was commissioned to provide a 2-week “International Cooperation Seminar on Museology” as part of the JICA’s course and accepted participants subsequently. Although it was initially begun as a 2-week seminar, a week-long study trip was added later, which was planned and guided by Minpaku. Around ten participants enrolled annually in this JICA course, and always formed a diverse group of individuals in terms of age, experience, position, and responsibility. Around the tenth year, the course was completely revised. Organizational changes at both JICA and Minpaku also prompted the revision, with JICA transi-tioning from a special public institution to an independent administrative institution, and Minpaku becoming a member of the Inter-University Research Institute Corporation’s National Institute of the Humanities. Upon launching the revised pro-gram, Minpaku decided to partner with Lake Biwa Museum known for its pioneer-ing of community-based activities to formulate improved course content. Since then, fully commissioned by JICA, it became the joint responsibility of Minpaku and Lake Biwa Museum to plan, operate, and implement the training course. The name of the course was changed to “JICA Intensive Course on Museology,” and it became a three-and-a-half month intensive program. Previously, the course had been geared for a wide range of people – from museum directors to young taff – and to meet their different needs, the course had to cover many fi elds, from museum top management to practical skills for general museum activities. To redress that diffi culty, the audience of the reshaped course was focused on people seeking to acquire practical skills. In FY2009, when the Intensive Course was undergoing another renewal, JICA decided to place a stronger emphasis on defi ning the desired outcomes of the train-ing. This shift was in response to a movement in Japan to reassess the overall status of the country’s international cooperation. To ensure that the training would yield benefi cial outcomes in the participants’ home countries, JICA decided that, in prin-ciple, training would be provided to participants from the same set of countries for 3 years consecutively. Minpaku, however, strongly requested that JICA ensure that their decisions would not exclude countries where demand was high but museum staff was limited in number. In FY2012, the course title was changed to “Comprehensive Museology Course” and the course was continued for another 3 years. In the new program, the curricu-lum was revised to enhance content related to museum management, and disaster management.
