Peer reviews of DAC members
OECD Development Co-operation Peer Reviews: Japan 2020
The OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC) conducts reviews of the individual
development co‑operation efforts of DAC members once every five to six years. DAC
peer reviews critically examine the overall performance of a given member, not just
that of its development co‑operation agency, covering its policy, programmes and systems.
They take an integrated, system‑wide perspective on the development co‑operation activities
of the member under review and its approach to fragility, crisis and humanitarian
assistance.
Japan combines diplomatic, peace and development efforts to achieve sustainable development
and implements the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through a whole-of-society
approach. It values self-reliant development, country ownership and the mutual benefits
of development co-operation for Japan and its partner countries. Japan is recognised
as a global champion of disaster risk reduction. Increasing official development assistance
could strengthen Japan's leadership and commitment to the SDGs and a mechanism would
help ensure coherence between domestic policies and global sustainable development
objectives. Whole-of-government country policies would ensure synergies across Japan's
portfolio and it could be more explicit about how programmes reduce poverty. More
streamlined systems and procedures would make Japan a more agile donor.
