Japan’s support for Rwanda, which can be considered a model country for recovery from civil conflict and economic growth, is of great significance to the consolidation of peace and the stabilization of the African Great Lakes region. This evaluation assesses Japan’s ODA policies toward Rwanda and assistance provided on that basis over the past ten years (FY2010-2019), with the main objectives of obtaining recommendations and lessons learned for the formulation and implementation of future Japanese ODA policies toward Rwanda and ensuring Japan’s public accountability by publishing the evaluation results.Japan’s ODA policies for Rwanda are consistent with Rwanda’s development needs, with Japan’s high-level development policies including declarations adopted at the Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD), and with international priority issues such as the SDGs. Japan’s assistance also mutually complements that of other donors. The evaluation team found that Japan has demonstrated comparative advantages in the areas of transportation and trade facilitation through the synergistic combination of three different aid modalities and in the areas of technical/vocational training and information and communication technology (ICT) through practical cooperation adapted to actual local conditions. (Evaluation Result: Highly Satisfactory = A)Although the amount of Japan’s ODA to Rwanda was on a somewhat smaller scale than that of other donors, each project contributed significantly to the achievement of the objectives established at the outset. Japan steadily implemented assistance and made contributions for each development issue in the Country Development Cooperation Policy for Rwanda. In priority areas of ODA, Japan also achieved a certain level of Prof. INADA JuichiSchool of Economics, Senshu UniversityProf. TAKEUCHI ShinichiProfessor, Graduate School of Global Studies / Director, African Studies Center, Tokyo University of Foreign StudiesNTC International Co., Ltd.FY2010 to FY2019August 2020 to February 2021Rwanda (remote survey conducted online)* Ratings: Highly Satisfactory = A; Satisfactory = B; Partially Unsatisfactory = C; Unsatisfactory = Dcontribution despite the ratio of the amount of its ODA being on a smaller scale than that of other donors. (Evaluation Result: Satisfactory = B) Japan’s Country Development Cooperation Policy for Rwanda was generally formulated through an appropriate process. In terms of the ODA implementation process, the evaluation team also found that the provision and management of basic implementation structures, assessment of needs, implementation of individual projects based on priority areas, monitoring/evaluation, collaboration and coordination with other development actors, and consideration of social, ethnic, and environmental factors were generally appropriate. On the other hand, there were areas where improvement would be desirable. For example, there was insufficient disclosure of information regarding some projects, and the ways in which the situation in the African Great Lakes region was considered in the formulation and implementation of ODA policies was not always clear. (Evaluation Result: Satisfactory = B)Japan’s ODA efforts toward Rwanda are in line with its National Security Strategy (NSS). Rwanda, which shares the basic principles of TICAD and has deepened its bilateral ties with Japan, is a diplomatically important country to Japan. Japan’s ODA to Rwanda is also diplomatically significant from the perspectives of the stabilization of the African Great Lakes region, the consolidation of peace in Rwanda, and the promotion of economic ties between Japan and Rwanda.Japan’s ODA to Rwanda has had verifiable diplomatic impacts including the fostering of Japanophiles and pro-Japanese groups, as well as the promotion of economic ties and amicable relations. It can also be expected to contribute to regional development through support for trade facilitation, as well as to the consolidation of peace in Rwanda and stability in the region through assistance to refugees within Rwanda and individuals with disabilities including ex-combatants.Evaluation of Japan’s ODA to Rwanda13Annual Report on Japanʼs ODA Evaluation 2021
