Abstract

The international society has focused on Afghanistan since multiple acts of terror of 9.11. It has provided the aid for reconstruction work to Afghanistan, which had been under conflicts for more than 20 years. This thesis will be considered the possibility of international collaboration by the civil society by explaining the case of JICA training course for female teachers in Afghanistan. This course was especially supported by five women's universities, which were established women's university consortium. It was succeeded by collaborating with women's universities, ministry of education, culture, science, technology and JICA. Through these activities, there are some findings and changes from the university, staffs, students, who were not interested in the international collaboration until then. Thus this thesis will be presented two points. One is examined some issues and vision for ODA activities. Another is mentioned the necessity for international collaboration is “possibility of network and resources of civil society” and “assimilation of passion for civil society and national aid policy”.
