Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research made a comparative analysis of development partnerships with the private sector, being undertaken by different donors, and draw implications for Japanese development cooperation toward effective implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Special attention is given to their approaches, case studies, and drivers for development effectiveness. As a leading manufacturing country, the Japanese approach emphasizes the utilization of its own technologies for solving development challenges, as well as local supporting industry development through linkage building with Japanese FDI. Because Japanese ODA has strong field-orientation, it is important to link its private sector partnerships with ODA activities to enhance development impacts. At the same time, the Western donors are increasingly promoting the global platform for sustainable and inclusive supply chain development (esp. textile & apparel sector), and Japan should give due attention to this move.
