ASSETS IN SOCIAL SERVICES AND -, ENVIRONMENT SECTOR -, -, 7.1 Overview TC for 'Project on the Water Management Training Programme' conducted from 1977 till s 1986 resulted in the setting up of a National Water Management Training Centre with demonstration and pilot farms. During the period of the TC, the centre focused on water - 1 management for cultivation of padi. It provided training in water management techniques to irrigation project operations and management staff. This has contributed to general -1 improvement in yield and production of padi and thus better food security. In March 2004 the centre was upgraded to become the National Institute for Water Management. It is one of 4 1 centres for capacity building and certification of DID staff.

Several development studies have contributed to development or master plans for water supply, sewerage and sanitation facilities. Some recent examples are the 'Study on I Improvement of Planning Capability in Sewerage Sector in Malaysia' that will include assisting the Sewerage Services Department to prepare manual for catchment strategies I and sewerage projects, guidelines for developers that will take social and environmental perspectives into account. ODA loans help financed the Beris Dam (JPY9.737 million), I Pahang-Selangor Raw Water Transfer Project (two loans totalling JPY83, 133 million) and I Sewerage Treatment Plant (JPY48,489 million) I In 2000 a TC was conducted with NIOSH to build its capacity to provide technical support to prevent occupational and work-related diseases, to assure working environment controls and I to improve work control system from an ergonomic perspective. It was also to improve training programmes and research and development activities on OSH and to collect and J disseminate information for public awareness and policy development. A second TC started in 2007 to improve DOSH's administration of OSH in the construction and SME industries. J The expected impact of these two TC is to reduce the incidence of accidents and diseases among industries thus contributing to productivity. J Persons with disabilities (PWD) benefited from technical assistance provided by TC that aims _J to improve opportunities for employment and social participation. The Department of Social Welfare will engage with NGO to improve employment assistance for PWD and provide _J training such as disability equality training to employers. The TC includes the setting up of a Centre for Independent Living for PWD. Japanese volunteers have been active in assisting _J PWD in Malaysia. _J In the field of environment, the Borneo Biodiversity and Ecosystem Conservation project _J Phase I has built the capacity of Sabah governmental institutions and foster closer collaboration among themselves on biodiversity conservation. It promotes environmental _J awareness among local population for greater participation in environmental issues. Phase 11 will be to transfer the project management to the government and to put in place the policies _J to sustain the project. _J The TC "Project for the Aquatic Resource and Environmental Studies of the Straits of Malacca" was not only for sustainable utilisation of coastal and aquatic resources but also ...J _J PE Research 41 _J n n Asset Study on JICA's Technical Cooperation to Malaysia: Volume 1 D contributed to environmental preservation in the Straits of Malacca by developing solutions to environmental problems. n SIRIM implemented two TC , firstly to upgrade its laboratory analysis and evaluation capacity D of hazardous chemicals substances and biologic and later to upgrade its capacity in risk assessment of hazardous chemical so that it can provide evaluation and management D services in chemical safety for the industrial sector particularly in wastewater.

8.1 Overview The Third Industrial Master Plan, 2006 to 2020 aims to achieve long-term global '-, competitiveness through transformation and innovation of the manufacturing and services sectors. The annual National SME Development Blueprints is to develop competitive and -, resilient SME so as to enhance their contribution to the economy. This is to be achieved by -, building the capacity and capability of SME, strengthen the enabling environment and enhancing access to financing for SMEs ..

-, For Malaysia's economic growth and wealth creation it needs to be competitive, diversify its economic base and move up the value chain. As an exporting nation it supports trade 1 liberalisation initiatives. Industries in particular the manufacturing sector have benefited from I the technical cooperation provided by Japan. The early technical cooperation projects were with SIRIM. They were to set up the 'Metal Industry Technology Centre', the 'ASEAN Project on Characterization of Fine Ceramics', the 'Foundry Technology Unit Project' and the two-phase project to set up and upgrade the National Metrology Centre. Capacities have been built to upgrade its metal and foundry technology, to analyse the characteristics of fine ceramic to support the rapid growth of electrical/electronics, metal and plastic industries and other advanced technology industries. For electrical I electronic manufacturers and exporters to increase their domestic and export sales they need to be able to test the safety aspect of their products. In 1999 a TC project was formulated to help SIRIM attain the status of a qualified testing laboratory under IECEE I requirements by increasing its capacity for product safety testing under IEC335 and IEC598.

I Japan's TC contributed to enhancing the manufacturing sector's share of GDP which J increased from 16.4% in 1975 to 31.4% in 2005. Export services capacity was substantially improved with the TC to set up the Malaysia J External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE). This is demonstrated in the increase J in exports as shown in Figure 8-1. _J Development studies were conducted with the Penang Development Corporation on 'Strengthening of Supporting Industries in Malaysia through Technology Transfer' and Kulim _J Technology Park Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kedah State Development Corporation on the setting up of an integrated high technology industrial park. The resultant _J Kulim Hi-tech Park (KHTP) was officially opened in 1996 and is still growing. KHTP later partnered JICA to assist Zambia to draw up the Master Plan for the Lusaka Multi-facility _J Economic Zone and prepared the Feasibility Study for phase 1. _J ..J _J ..J ..J PE Research 47 ~ _J n [l Asset Study on JICA's Technical Cooperation to Malaysia: Volume 1 n Figure 8-1: Malaysian Exports (1970 - 2008) [l Malaysian Exports {1970 - 2008) I D 700 All E,q>orts, 663.5 [l

The SME sector constitutes 99.2% of total business establishments and provides D 15 employment to 56% of the workforce . To increase its contribution to gross domestic [J products and exports the Government placed special emphasis to its development in the new millennium, SME promotion was carried out with JICA's assistance. The two-phase project on 'Development of Human Resources for Small and Medium Industries' is contributing D towards building the capacity of SME Corporation Malaysia (SME Corp) officers to effectively support SMEs in management and marketing skills as well as financial support D services, analyse SMEs' problems and needs and provide preliminary advice. Additionally a [ J Development Study conducted with Bank Negara 'to formulate an Action Plan to Develop Advisory Capabilities of Malaysian Development Financial Institutions (DFI)' resulted in LJ improved business advisory services provided by DFI such as the SME Bank, the AgroBank and other commercial banks that service SMEs. D Back in the 1980s the Japanese government made two ODA loans amounting to JPY38,397 D million to set up the ASEAN Urea Project. Since the Asian financial crises in 1990, J ICA extended ODA loan totalling JPY56,621 million to ensure industries in particular SME D continue to have access to credit to support their operations and growth. These were the ASEAN-Japan Development Fund for Malaysia, Small & Medium Scale Industry Promotion D Fund and Fund for Small and Medium Scale Industries. The Fund for Small and Medium Scale Industries Loans was to provide access to long-term low interest loan for fixed assets D funding and working capital thus contributing to promotion of SMEs, expansion of supporting industries and creation of employment.

MALAYSIAN TECHNICAL COOPERATION -, PROGRAMME (MTCP) -, a 9.1 Introduction Malaysia's assistance to developing countries is called the Malaysian Technical Cooperation a Programme (MTCP). Currently, the programme is coordinated by the EPU but with effect 2010 this responsibility will be taken over by Ministry of Foreign Affairs. • MTCP is a bilateral technical programme underpinned by the country's policy of "prosper thy J neighbour" and the principle of equality and mutual benefits. As a former recipient of technical cooperation that has contributed to her development, Malaysia has a wealth of l experience to share with other developing countries. It recognizes that technical cooperation among developing countries within the framework of South-South Cooperation can play a 1 significant role in achieving international development goals including the Millennium I Development Goals.

I 9.2 Objectives and Approaches I The objectives of MTCP are: I • To share development experience with other countries • To strengthen bilateral relation with developing countries ] • To promote South-South Cooperation and I • To promote technical cooperation amongst developing countries I Malaysia's ODA approach is based largely on three major considerations: • Political: Countries which has friendly diplomatic relations with Malaysia and in which I Malaysia has a political interest such as ASEAN and OIC countries, Pacific islands and I other developing countries in the Asia Pacific region. • Economic: Countries considered as potential new markets for Malaysia's goods and J services such as Inda-Chinese countries and African countries. _J • Humanitarian: MTCP provides emergency relief assistance to countries that have experienced a calamity. _J In adopting a partner-in-development approach, Malaysia extends its technical cooperation _J through five modalities; • Provision of long-term scholarship and fellowship _J • Provision of short-term scholarship _J • Study visits and attachment _J • Advisory services _J • Socio-economic projects and provision of supplies and equipment _J _J PE Research 55 _J n n Asset Study on JICA's Technical Cooperation to Malaysia: Volurn~ n 9.2.1 Provision of long term fellowship and scholarship: MTCP offers full scholarship to qualified candidates to pursue long-term academic courses. n Since 1992, the MTCP has offered long-term training to about 690 participants 18 who n obtained post-graduate degrees at the Masters and PhD levels. Currently the long-term training are provided at twenty local universities. These universities are the University of n Malaya, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (Sultan Idris Education University), International n Islamic University, University Technology of Malaysia, Universiti Darul Iman Malaysia, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, Universiti Malaysia Pahang, n Universiti Malaysia Perlis, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, Universiti Malaysia Kelantan, [ ] Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia Melaka, Universiti Teknologi Mara, Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia nd Universiti Utara Malaysia. These scholarships f.l have been awarded to participants in areas such as economics, computer science, social science, accounting, business administration, chemistry, biology studies, biophysics, [l pharmacy, education and engineering. [l MTCP has also been offering scholarships for undergraduate studies from year 2006 onwards. [ J

9.2.2 Provision of short-term specialised training n The short-term courses are less than three months duration. The courses range from public D administration and management, productivity improvement, civil aviation, ICT, central banking, agriculture management, veterinary services, fisheries, radio broadcasting, and TV D production, investment promotion, property valuation, tax administration, cooperative management, palm oil plantation, fire fighting and English Language. Some of these courses 0 are customised to meet the individual needs of countries, including at the regional level, e.g. for the CLMV countries, ASEAN and Sub-Saharan African countries. D

The delivery of the courses is varied. It could be designed solely for MTCP and opened to all (J MTCP member countries (e.g. courses by CIAST) or members from a region (e.g. the CLVM countries) or one country (e.g. Sudan). In some cases the course is open to a small number D of Malaysian participants (e.g. INPUMA's courses). In others the course is a regular training designed to train Malaysian but is also opened to a small number of MTCP participants (e.g. D in 2009 the Central Bank's annual programme for banking was opened to 10 MTCP participants). [ l

Some of the courses include visits to other public agencies as well as private companies. [J L] For the year 2009, there are 51 MTCP providers; most of them are government agencies. For the first time the MTCP providers include an NGO - Mercy Malaysia. Many other 0 institutions, while not a listed MTCP provider, participates indirectly in the programme by providing resource persons I subject experts to the training courses or host study visits for 0 MTCP course participants. LJ 9.2.3 Study visits and practical attachments l] The main purpose is to enable practitioners and officials in public agencies from other developing countries to acquire hands-on experience. The study visits and practical attachments provide participants with the opportunities to learn directly about Malaysian LJ development agencies and project areas. The study visits are usually for one or two weeks, [J LJ 18 Source: MTCP 2009 . ll

PE Research 56 LJ [ J -, -, -, Asset Study on JICA's Technical Cooperationto Malaysia: Volume 1 while attachments are for a slightly longer period. Most of the study visits are funded by the -, Government of Malaysia; however some of these are conducted in cooperation with third parties including JICA, UNDP, the Islamic Development Bank and more recently with -, AusAID.

-, In addition to the attachments that were coordinated under MTCP, many Malaysian institutions also accept attachments from other developing countries e.g. the National Heart -, Institute has a programme receiving doctors for attachment at its hospital. As such it is estimated that the MTCP programme covers but a small part of developing country experts coming into Malaysia for attachment training. Another public institution that provides '-, attachment training is the Central Bank of Malaysia. -1 9.2.4 Advisory services The dispatch of experts and advisors is in response to specific requests from the MTCP -1 participating countries to assist in their development through the transfer of knowledge and skills. Most of the costs of the advisory services are funded by the Government of Malaysia I but in some cases host countries also fund the local costs.

1 EPU statistics indicate that, since 1992, there were 36 cases of such assistance ranging from two INTAN officials send to Yemen in 2001 to conduct a 5-day course on "Quality Services in the Public Sector" to the assignment of a banking expert to the Central Bank of Namibia as 1 the Governor of the Central Bank for 4 years (1994-1997). Experts were sent to 24 countries with the main receiving countries being Namibia (5 cases), Cambodia (3 cases) and two cases each in Kenya, South Africa, Sudan, Sierra Leone and Syria.

The experts were mainly economists offering services such as Joint Economic Study on promotion of FOi, and in the preparation of Master Plans. I 9.2.5 Socio-economic projects and provision of suppliers and equipment: I This is done on a very selective basis and is usually in response to specific humanitarian J causes or to meet the particular need of the requesting country. J Fourteen countries have benefited from this programme with the key recipients being Cambodia and Bosnia & Herzegovina. There have been 28 projects with assistance ranging J from supply of housing, water pumps, proton cars, computers, clinics, mosques and even bull semen. J _J 9.3 Third Country Training Progammes There are currently two formal TCTP programmes operating in Malaysia: the MTCP- OIC _J and MTCP-TCTP JICA programmes. The MTCP-OIC programme commenced in 2006 and is co-funded by the Malaysian Government and OIC. There are currently five institutions _J providing six courses, mainly related to trade issues. However the MTCP-TCTP JICA courses have been running since 1983 and are jointly funded by the Malaysian and _J Japanese Governments.

_J To strengthen South-South Cooperation (SSC), the MTCP collaborates with donor countries _J and multilateral organisations. This North-South partnership enriches SSC and has enabled trilateral cooperation modality to be implemented as in the case of Third Country Training _J Programmes (TCTP). Under this arrangement Malaysia bears the manpower and operation costs while the international partner bears the international cost of training. MTCP has been _J organising programmes with international partners such as UNDP, JICA, IDB, the _J PE Research 57 _J n n Asset Stucly on J ~CA's Technical Cooperation to Malaysia: Volume 1 n Commonwealth Secretariat and the Colombo Plan. Recently, Malaysia extended this modality with Australia (AusAID) and is currently running a training programme for 0 Afghanistan. This modality of cooperation will become the main form of cooperation in the future as Malaysia is expected to play the role of a development partner in the form of cost­ D sharing. D

9.4 Non-MTCP Assistance 0 While the MTCP and TCTP are formal government-to-government or government-to­ multilateral institutions, Malaysian institutions also offer institution-to-institution or institution­ n to-individual assistance. n

9.5 Availability of capacity n Since the inception of the MTCP, a total budget of RM600 million has been allocated for the D Programme. Although small when compared to other donor budgets, the MTCP budget has steadily increased from RM45 million during the 4MP period (1980-85) to RM200 million 0 under the current 9MP, a more than four-fold increase (see Figure 9-1 ). Of this, 75% of the budget has been allocated for human capital development. D

Since its inception, the MTCP has grown in depth as well as in [ J coverage. Starting with the five ASEAN countries, the MTCP currently services 138 countries in 10 different regions (ASEAN, Other South East Asia and Asia, the SAARC Asia, the CIS, LJ East and Central Europe, North and West Africa, Africa, Pacific Islands, South America, and the Caribbean) as shown in Figure 9-2. As of December 2008, more than 20,554 participants u have undergone training under the Programme (Figure 9-3). Li 0 L) LJ

In terms of output, the modality that was the most successful has been the _J human resource development programmes through the short-term and long-term courses. This is largely attributed to the experience of the Malaysian training institutions and their _J ability to design and implement programmes that meet the priorities and needs of the developing countries. These implementing agencies are usually the primary/leading agencies _J in their respective fields, carrying out activities in the domestic environment and they have _J PE Research 59 _J ..J n [l Asset Study on J!CA's Technical Cooperation to Malaysia: Volum~ n been able to design appropriate programmes/courses to meet the needs of the participating countries. In fact, some of the implementing agencies are ranked high and well-regarded by n their regional peer organisations. Malaysia's own experience of addressing issues pertaining to poverty reduction and economic growth puts the country in a good position to share them 0 with other developing countries. D

9.6 Moving Forward 0 Malaysia's engagement with developing countries through the MTCP has strengthened its relationship with the South countries through trade and industrial policy. This has resulted in n Malaysia developing broad and credible relationships through bilateral and multilateral linkages with new trading partners in Africa, Latin America, Central Asia, Indochina and the n South Pacific. n As Malaysia is formulating its 10th Malaysia Plan it is currently carrying out a strategic D reflection on the emerging opportunities and possibilities for strengthening and developing new modalities for its role in supporting South-South Cooperation through the MTCP as well 0 as through a broader approach. Lessons will be drawn from its South-South Cooperation (SSC) policies in the 8th and 9th Malaysia Plans, its experiences under the MTCP as well as D other SSC activities. D D D D 0 [J [J D D D D [ )

It may be timely now to have a TC to reduce demand for water. n

Denmark and Germany have carried out TC on specific areas such as environment financing n and scheduled waste minimisation. If these countries do not wish to further their cooperation here, Japan can carry out advanced work to sustain the outcomes of the projects. n

JICA has assisted other ASEAN countries to conserve their cultural heritage. Similar 0 programmes could be extended to the heritage cities of Penang and Malacca or lessons [l learnt could be transposed onto management of natural heritage sites in Malaysia. r1 10.2 For Regional Technical Cooperation n The MTCP programme and its performance on the MDG indicates that there are organisational capacities for Malaysia to work regionally.

_J Malaysia has performed well on MDG 1 to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. Poverty eradication has been a central government policy since the 1MP . The government had _J established institutions for addressing spatial and ethnic disparities, run poverty eradication ._J programmes and created employment and business opportunities. Almost all ministries would have programmes that serve to reduce if not eradicate poverty and hunger. Key _J ministries would be the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development and Ministries of Women, Family and Community Development. _J _J PE Research 65 _J ·_J n n Asset Study on JICA's Technical Cooperation to Malaysia: Volume_1_ n Universal primary education (MDG 2) is achieved and the MOE has institutions for teachers pre- and in-service education. Beside the Institute Aminuddin Baki that provides training for fl school managers and leaders, UM's Institute of Principalship Studies, established in 2000, provides training in the field of leadership and management of educational institutions and n research and professional development for principalship. n 21 Malaysia's maternal mortality rate is 30 deaths per 10,000 births . The children under 5 mortality rate is 8.1 per 1,000 live birth. These key indicators show that Malaysia is on track 0 to achieve MDG goals 4 and 5. The MOH has human and intellectual capacity to assist developing countries. n ["] 10.3 Conclusions Substantial capacity has been developed over the years and these have been shared with n developing countries via JICA's TCTP as well as Malaysia's MTCP programmes. As the r J country tries to maintain its competitive edge and increase income and quality of life of its citizens the government has launched programmes to migrate up to be a knowledge [l economy to achieve balanced, equitable (both spatial and ethnic) and sustainable growth. As such it is still in need of higher expertise and technology to achieve its 2020 National Vision. [ ) Thus institutions that have received TC (such as SIRIM, MARDI) need to be move up the value chain while the smaller institutions (like FRIM , CIAST, VRI) strengthened. D

Malaysian government and its institutions can learn from Japan how to improve it technical D assistance with developing countries so that it can be a more efficient and effective partner. It can be a valued partner of Japan in implementing Japan's various multilateral ODA D programmes especially with ASEAN but also in Africa. Experienced partners such as SIRIM, IMR, VRI can continue to share their expertise. Newly capacitated institutions like 0 Department of Social Welfare can spread its wings regionally. Regional institutions residing [J here should be co-opted to do more as it has sunk assets that can be further utilised. 0 0 D 0 0 l] LJ u [J D 21 Ministry of Health, Annual Report 2007 D 0 [) 0 [J PE Research 66 [J , , Asset Study on JICA's Technical Cooperation to Malaysia: Volume 1 -, -, REFERENCE -, -, Asia Pacific Association of Forest Research Institutions, September 2002.
