Department background

Japan's Evaluation Profile

In order to ensure efficient evaluation of ODA, MOFA and the implementing agency place importance on mutual cooperation and the division of roles. Since MOFA is responible for the planning and development of economic cooperation policies, it focuses its evaluation on policies and programmes rather than individual projects. The objectives of ODA evaluation are to support ODA management and ensure accountability. MOFA hosts expert meetings on ODA evaluation consisting of ministries and agencies involved in ODA, and also compiles ODA evaluation results from other ministries and agencies.
