With regard to trilateral monitoring and evaluation systems for projects that are being implemented, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult for trainees to travel while posing challenges to the dispatch of experts and survey teams to Brazil, the ODA recipient, for the formulation of detailed plans. Hence, while adapting flexibly with online meetings, reviews will continue to be carried out with an eye on the status of the pandemic.Recommendation 4: Promotion of the Resolution of Social Issues through Public-Private PartnershipsImplementation Status of Response ActionsThe Open from third-party evaluations in FY2020 (as of September 2022). (Link to the FY2020 evaluation reports)In light of the recent situation with the conservation of Brazil’s rainforests attracting global attention, Japan is implementing strategic development cooperation, such as the “Project for improving control of illegal deforestation through advanced SAR and AI technologies in the Brazilian Amazon” that commenced in FY2021. Japan is also implementing development cooperation through a combination of various methods of cooperation. These include providing emergency relief supplies in the event of severe floods and landslide disasters which have been intensifying in Brazil, and having Japanese experts in disaster preparedness participate in surveys of landslide disaster sites and reviews of recovery methods conducted by the relevant parties in Brazil, by utilizing past and ongoing cooperation in the field of disaster preparedness. Japan is also actively disseminating information about these initiatives through social media and other means, and its efforts have also been covered by Brazilian and Japanese media.At the annual meeting of the Japan-Brazil Partnership Program (JBPP), the good practices and lessons drawn from triangular cooperation, which were compiled through the present evaluation, were shared. Reviews will continue to be held on the development of triangular cooperation, including measures toward the efficient and prompt implementation of triangular cooperation such as the introduction of electronic signatures on various documents. Innovation Challenge, TSUBASA, has been established by co-organizers JICA and IDB Lab (an innovation laboratory of the Inter-American Development Bank). This initiative promotes environment development toward the resolution of social issues not only in business-to-government (BtoG) frameworks, but also in business-to-business (BtoB) frameworks. For example, start-up companies participated in a challenge related to carbon credits targeted at Brazil. JICA and the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) also hold frequent consultations at the field level, and have a mutual cooperation system in place for supporting start-ups. In addition, JICA’s domestic offices and JETRO collaborate to provide support for the implementation of Brazil business seminars. 27Annual Report on Japan’s ODA Evaluation 2022 The Implementation Status of Response Actions Taken for the Recommendations of Evaluations in FY2020The following are the implementation status of response actions taken for the recommendations obtained
