Chapter 4 Results of Joint Review

4.3.1 Background and the Objectives

Under JICA technical cooperation project (JICA CTU Project), CTU had established a scheme to open
three (3) master’s programs with support from JICA and Japanese supporting universities for the
deployment of the component for strengthening education implementation systems in the three fields
(Output 1 of PDM).

Since CTU has conducted the first enrollment in 2018, two Master’s Programs, Climate Change and
Sustainable Tropical Agriculture and Climate Change and Delta Management, have been deployed for
graduate students with instruction from the lecturers of CTU and the professors of Japanese supporting
