(4) Enhancing Policy Consultation

Japan holds close policy dialogue with developing countries and works to share mutual awareness and understanding in order to provide more effective development aid. While Japan still implements ODA by placing emphasis on requests from developing countries from the perspective of supporting their self-help efforts, it carries out policy consultations with governmental parties from the partner country, at a stage prior to the receipt of a request. The aim of these consultations is to allow the developing countries’ development policies and assistance needs to be clearly ascertained and to achieve coordination with Japan’s assistance policies.
