Japan's Official Development Assistance White Paper 2011
(8) Enhancing the Transmission of Information to the International Community
Japan conducts activities overseas to promote a better understanding of Japan's proactive international contribution through ODA. For example, Japan has provided press releases at the time of signings and handover ceremonies and otherwise cooperated with interviews of the local press. In addition, Japan attaches Japanese flag stickers (in English and Arabic) and the Japanese ODA logo (in English, French, Spanish, Arabic, and Portuguese) to aid supplies from Japan. Japan's overseas diplomatic missions provide opportunities for the local press to address Japan's cooperation by planning site-visit tours to Japan's ODA projects. Furthermore, Japanese embassies disseminate information via various lectures and websites and pamphlets in English and local languages.
