Cooperation has developed in a wide range of fields since the Japan-Brazil bilateral relationship was positioned as a strategic global partnership in 2014. Since the start of ODA to Brazil in 1959, Japan has closely engaged with issues faced by the country and supported its sustainable growth in a variety of fields including natural resources, medical care, public safety, and infrastructure, making Brazil one of Japan’s major ODA partner countries in Latin America. With the objectives of ODA evaluation—improving ODA management and ensuring public accountability—in mind, this evaluation is aimed at assessing Japan’s assistance policies toward Brazil since FY2009, with a particular focus on the last five years, and producing recommendations as well as drawing lessons for the formulation and implementation of assistance policies toward Brazil in the future.Japan’s policy of cooperation in Brazil is in line with its high-level ODA policies, namely, the ODA Charter (2003) and Development Cooperation Charter (2015), as well as with the SATO Kan HiroshiChief Senior Researcher, Research Operations Department, IDE-JETROKONTA RyoheiArea Studies Center Deputy Director, Latin American Studies Group, IDE-JETROJapan Techno Co., Ltd.FY2009 to FY2019August 2020 to March 2021Brazil (remote survey conducted online)national multiyear development plan of Brazil (Plano Plurianual or “PPA”). There is also consistency with the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are international priority issues, and with the directionality of support from other donors in Brazil. Furthermore, policies are formulated primarily in areas where Japan has a comparative advantage, namely, (1) disaster prevention, (2) governance (cooperation with local police), (3) environmental conservation, (4) water resources (non-revenue water management), and (5) healthcare (maternal and child healthcare). (Evaluation Result: Highly Satisfactory = A)The amount of Japan’s ODA to Brazil is on a downward trend due to Brazil’s classification as an uppermost-middle-income country. However, in this huge country with diverse assistance needs, support the appropriate quality and timing to projects in three priority areas: 1) urban issues and management of environmental and disaster risks, 2) improvement of the investment environment, and 3) triangular cooperation. Results have been achieved through support centered on the establishment of eco-friendly cities, environmental conservation, and disaster prevention in the field of urban issues and management of environmental and disaster risks; by taking on the role of a bridge for private partnerships in improvement of the investment environment; and by continuing unique forms of cooperation in the field of triangular cooperation.
