The first step is to contact the JOCV Coordinating Team, who oversees the JOCV Programme in JICA, to explain your needs. The team will then conduct a preliminary investigation into whether your request for a Volunteer watches the criteria of JICA South Africa. This includes a security check of the proposed workplace and living area of the Volunteer. The formal application will be sent to the line ministry for endorsement. Finally, the request will be submitted to the JICA South Africa Office, and forwarded to JICA HQ for a recruitment and selection process. Your request will be compiled with those from all over the world and advertised accordingly, which takes place twice a year, in Spring and Autumn.
