In order to ensure efficient evaluation of ODA, the MoFA and the implementing agencies give importance to mutual cooperation and the division of roles. Since the MoFA is responsible for the planning and development of economic cooperation policies, it focuses its evaluation on policies and programs rather than individual projects.
Objectives of ODA evaluation by the MoFA are as followed:
In order to meet these requirements, the MoFA conducts an evaluation on policy, programme and project of ODA along with the ODA implementation cycle. The ODA evaluation results at each stage give feedback to ODA policymakers and implementation agencies (both in Japan and in the recipient countries) as a useful tool in ODA management. Also, to ensure accountability, the ODA evaluation results are made available to the public through the MoFA website.
