WB・WCO Scholarship Program

本プログラムは、世界銀行（WB）及び世界税関機構（WCO）の全面的な支援によって運営されており、ハーバード大学をはじめとする15大学で実施されているJoint Japan / World Bank Graduate Scholarship Program(JJ/WBGSP)によるTaxコースとJapan-WCO Human Resource Development Scholarship ProgrammeによるCustomsコースからなっています。開発途上国の租税政策及び関税政策への知的支援の観点から、将来それらの分野で責任を負うこととなる若手行政官を主たる対象として、経済学をはじめ、法学、政治学ならびに行政学等に関する専門的教育を行うとともに、Taxコースでは国税庁税務大学校、Customsコースでは財務省税関研修所および関税局との連携による実践的教育（Practicum）を実施し、我が国の政策経験を踏まえた高度な専門的行政能力の育成を目指しています。

大学でのフォーマルなカリキュラムは経済学をベースとしたもので、開発途上国における経済・社会発展のために必要な、租税および関税政策の立案や管理運営に関する理論的・実証的・制度的側面を学ぶことを目的としています。税務大学校および税関研修所との連携による実践的教育（Practicum）を通して、租税・関税政策関連の現場での経験を、大学でのフォーマルな教育と融合させ、理解を深めることができます。

開発途上国政府の租税及び関税関係機関若手職員等で同分野での職務経験が2〜3年ある者
