26/32

MOFA formulates response actions for the recommendations obtained from third-party evaluations and checks the status of their implementation. The following are examples of the implementation status of response actions taken for the recommendations obtained from third-party evaluations in FY2019 (as of September 2021).The FY2019 evaluation reports can be viewed here.Evaluation of Japan’s ODA to the Philippines Evaluation of Grant Aid for Japanese NGO Projects Educational assistance project in Hlaingbwe Township, Kayin State, Myanmar(Evaluation of Grant Aid for Japanese NGO Projects)Implementation Status of Response ActionsIn order to stabilize the society of Mindanao, Japan is implementing measures such as maintenance/enhancement of equipment in the agricultural and water-supply sectors, enhancement of health and medical services, and support for the reintegration of former soldiers into civil society starting with vocational training. In addition, JICA experts have been dispatched to strengthen the capabilities of the BTA.Based on the relations of trust built thus far with stakeholders on the Philippine side and with consideration for safety, support for the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) established in February 2019 should be enhanced while also utilizing local organizations and human resources so that relevant parties including the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), local governments, Christians, and indigenous people can realize the dividends of peace.Increases in the amount of funding and number of projects have resulted in a greater workload on the MOFA side. Thus, multi-year contracts for projects spanning multiple fiscal years, the simplification of modification procedures, and the assignment of external commissioned staff members should be considered. Measures such as analysis of areas with potential for simplification and factors that promoted or hindered projects through the review of various past reports and utilization of the results of analysis in preliminary consultations and screening should also be considered.Recommendation: Enhancement of Assistance in Mindanao Enabling the Realization of Dividends of PeaceRecommendation: Streamlining of Operations by Simplifying Procedures, etc.Implementation Status of Response ActionsIn FY2020, MOFA worked to streamline operations by revising the approval and instruction processes for contracts, especially overseas ones, and shifting project selection meetings online. The FY2021 operating procedures also abolished the use of seals in nearly all situations except contracts. In the future, further efforts to streamline operations will include sharing problems within the implementation process and their solutions among relevant parties, as well as compiling and sharing issues that will benefit the NGO side.25Annual Report on Japanʼs ODA Evaluation 2021 Follow-up on FY2019 ODA Evaluation Results
