Annual Report on Japanʼs ODA Evaluation 2020

Summary of the FY 2019 MOFA ODA Evaluations

Evaluations from Development Viewpoints

MOFA uses a rating scale to assess development effectiveness, aiming to produce clear and comprehensible evaluation reports.

In FY 2017, MOFA adopted an alphabetical rating scale (A to D).

This alphabetical scale may make the evaluation results easier to understand, but it can also be misleading due to its simplicity. Therefore, we recommend that readers refer to the summary of each evaluation result.
