Although the evaluation results are obtained individually, the ratings of Costa Rica and Nicaragua are merged for convenience since their rating results are the same. Moreover, recommendations are taken as “lessons learned” based on the evaluation results, also deriving common lessons from both countries. This annual report presents an overview of MOFA’s third-party ODA evaluations in FY 2018. The results of evaluations commissioned to external evaluators from development and diplomatic viewpoints are summarized, respectively. Evaluation from Development Viewpoints In most evaluations, target policies were consistent with Japan’s high-level ODA policies, international priority issues, and recipient countries’ needs, which resulted in high ratings for Relevance of Policies. Furthermore, Effectiveness of Results as to development effects was also highly rated as it was confirmed that Japan’s assistance made certain contributions to the development issues of recipient countries. However, there seemed to be some issues to be resolved in the maintenance of records, the system of information disclosure, and public relation since there were two evaluations accessed as “partially unsatisfactory” for Appropriateness of Processes to ensure effective and efficient ODA.Ratings Since FY 2017, MOFA has been using a revised rating scale using alphabetical ratings (A to D) to evaluate development effect, aiming for clear and comprehensible evaluation reports for all. The alphabetical scale, on the other hand, can be misleading due to its simplicity; therefore, we recommend readers to refer to the summary of each evaluation result.
