How were the Interviews with experts on evaluation from diplomatic viewpoints? Viewpoints and criteria are briefly explained on page 2 of this report. The OECD-DAC Network on Development Evaluation (EvalNet) has been discussing how to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted at the United Nations in 2014, which is a trending topic in Japan. EvalNet has been pursuing a review of the current five evaluation criteria (Relevance, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Impact, and Sustainability) which first laid out in 1991 and exploring adapting them in line with the SDGs. After consultative adaptation process, one new criterion, “Coherence” will be added to the original criteria as diverse viewpoints in order to analyze consistency between ODA and other policies as well as international agreements. The “evaluation from diplomatic viewpoints” that MOFA has been working on for the past few years is an attempt to convey consistency between Japan’s foreign policy and ODA policy clearly to the people of Japan through interviews and literature survey. This attempt is drawing attention from DAC stakeholders in response to growing global expectations for development of new evaluation methodology suitable for SDGs. DAC aims to redefine the current evaluation criteria and release a new evaluation criteria contained “Coherence” by December 2019.(*) Taking this opportunity, Japan is expected to contribute to further global development of ODA evaluation and to promote to achieve SDGs of the 2030 Agenda, through its experience in ODA evaluation.Keiichi MuraokaDirector, ODA Evaluation Division, Minister’s Secretariat, Ministry of Foreign AffairesEditor’s Note(*)The new Evaluation Criteria was adopted by the DAC meeting on 10 December 2019.29
