Recommendation 1: Further Strengthening of Measures that Contribute to the Entry of Japanese SMEs and NGOs, and on a case-by-case basis. Evaluation of Japan’s ODA to the Republic of MalawiWhen revising the current Country Development Cooperation Policy dated September 2017, MOFA will conduct a review based on recommendations on the need to continue providing support in the three priority areas of “improving socio-economic infrastructure and narrowing disparities,” “environmental measures,” and “disaster risk prevention measures.”Recommendation 3: Strengthening Cooperation with the Funds and Activities of Diverse EntitiesIn future assistance, Japan will continue to actively pursue possibilities with regard to collaboration with the private sector and international institutions, as well as collaboration between effective ODA schemes (loans, grant aid, and technical cooperation).Recommendation 4: Necessity of Continuing Technical Cooperation that Leads to Long-Term Human Resource DevelopmentIn Peru, collaborative projects with universities and research institutes through the Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development (SATREPS) scheme and other programs have been actively adopted to date. In future assistance, Japan will continue to pursue the possibility of implementing projects that contribute to the further evolution of government-academia cooperation.Recommendation 5: Maintaining Cooperation with Communities of Japanese DescendantsIn the development of projects under various ODA schemes, Japan will focus on whether there are elements that could enable cooperation with communities of Japanese descendants, and pursue the possibility of cooperation where they are present. Recommendation 6: Responding to Infrastructure Needs in Consideration of Peru’s Natural Environment and the Impact of Climate ChangeWhen reviewing assistance toward infrastructural needs in the future, Japan will give full consideration to the impact on climate change as well as the natural environment of the target region, the decentralization situation, and appropriate implementation that is both environmentally and socially considerate. the Improvement of the Investment EnvironmentIn cases where the need to intervene is recognized and if it is appropriate to do so after verification of entry barriers to investment and access of foreign companies and NGOs to Malawi, Japan will consider dispatching legal experts and implementing thematic training through technical cooperation, taking into consideration constraints on the availability of experts and Malawi’s priority compared to other countries within the African region. With regard to the proposal to modify the selection criteria for the ABE Initiative, members of private companies and entrepreneurs are already eligible to apply. So instead of amending the selection criteria, Japan will carry out selection appropriately, bearing in mind the recommendation. Recommendation 2: Establishing a “Human Resources Bank” (Tentative Name) for Malawian Students and Trainees (who Have Studied or Are Studying in Japan) to Strengthen Their Network Building and UtilizationAs the provision and utilization of information on the past international students and trainees as open-source information is not appropriate from the perspective of protecting personal information, Japan will continue to promote effective networking by promoting reunions for exchange students and trainee alumni. (Programs implemented under the ABE Initiative include “Networking Events” and activity reports by returned trainees, as well as homecoming report presentations and networking events aimed at facilitating exchanges with Japanese corporations.) Recommendation 3: Strategic and Continuous Utilization of JOCVs and Core Human Resources on the Malawi SideThe selection of senior JOCVs and experts for Malawi will be carried out based on the abilities required for the posts. However, experience as a JOCV in the country will also be taken into consideration for posts in which experience as a JOCV is deemed to be useful. There are already many cases where former project managers for Japanese cooperation in Malawi and former Malawian trainees are involved in Japan’s new cooperation projects. Japan recognizes that these people have the potential to become key figures in bilateral relations in the future. While paying attention to the recommendations and giving consideration to budget constraints, Japan will examine the possibility of further strengthening relations with them if they are found to be highly effective on a case-by-case basis. Recommendation 4: Strengthening Public Relations Strategies Aimed at the People of MalawiJapan recognizes that existing media outlets, such as newspapers and radio, continue to be highly influential in Malawi. Taking these conditions into consideration, in order to strengthen external communications based on the recommendation, the JICA Malawi Office will identify former Malawian JICA trainees and exchange students who studied in Japan with strong communication skills, and consider the possibility of disseminating information via their social media and other tools. Japan will consider effective means of communication including collaboration with Malawian influencers and artists Annual Report on Japan’s ODA Evaluation 202224
