2■■ Diplomatic ImportanceAnnual Report on Japanʼs ODA Evaluation 202104How relevant is the ODA policy to Japan’s high-level policies, the needs of partner countries, and global priority issues? How outstanding is Japan’s ODA compared to that of other donors?■■ Effectiveness of ResultsTo what extent are the initial targets and objectives achieved in line with plans? What were the specific outputs, outcomes, and impacts?How has Japan’s ODA been important in solving global priority issues, strengthening bilateral relations, and promoting Japan’s security and prosperity?ODA evaluations conducted by MOFA are classified according to the evaluation target. Country/Regional Assistance Evaluations target ODA policies for specific countries or regions, and Thematic/Schematic Evaluations target specific themes such as education, health, or the environment, as well as specific aid modalities (schemes) such as technical cooperation or grant aid.Since FY2017, MOFA has also been conducting third-party evaluations of individual grant aid projects in which the maximum amount of aid offered is one billion yen or more. Internal evaluations are conducted for individual projects in which the maximum amount of aid offered is at least 200 million yen but less than one billion yen.ODA individual evaluation reports (internal evaluations)https://www.mofa.go.jp/mofaj/ms/oda/page24_000056.htmlhttps://www.mofa.go.jp/mofaj/ms/oda/page24_000056.htmlMOFA conducts ODA evaluations (third-party evaluations) from two different viewpoints: the extent to which Japan’s ODA contributes to development in partner countries (Development Viewpoints), and the effects that the evaluated ODA policies have on Japan’s national interests (Diplomatic Viewpoints). MOFA’s ODA Evaluation Criteria are described below.1MOFA has set out “ODA Evaluation Guidelines,” which state the basic principles of MOFA’s ODA evaluations, and an “ODA Evaluation Handbook,” which describes the specific evaluation methodologies and procedures. Although these are prepared mainly to be applied in practical ODA evaluation work, they offer useful information for anyone interested in ODA and its evaluation.https://www.mofa.go.jp/policy/oda/evaluation/basic_documents/index.htmlhttps://www.mofa.go.jp/policy/oda/evaluation/basic_documents/index.htmlHow appropriate is the policymaking and implementation process and system?
