(3) Strengthening Policy Dialogue

Japan holds detailed policy discussions and works to share awareness and understanding with developing countries, in order to implement development assistance in a more effective manner. Although Japan implements ODA with its emphasis on requests from developing countries, from the perspective of supporting their self-reliant efforts, it also deliberates on policies with governmental parties from the partner country, at a stage prior to the receipt of a request. The aim of these discussions is to understand the developing country’s development policies and needs for assistance, and to coordinate them with Japan’s ODA policies.
