Research Abstract |
This research aims at reviewing Japanese ODA policy in the post Cold War era from the three aspects : establishment of the principle, efficiency, and regional expansion. It is deeply regretted that, due to the damages and chaos caused by the Kobe Earthquake, the members had to cancel research meetings and were not able to form a sufficient conclusion. However, so far, the following findings are presented. On the principle, efforts should be made to change the passive and over-general nature towards incorporation of useful features of Japanese aid system and commitment to the new issues shch as human rights, democratisation, environment, women's role, and participation in development. In order to increase efficiency, introduction of project feedbach and evaluation system, based on the administrative technique, as well as adjustment among sectors and various forms of aid including non-official ones, are considered to be essential. About the regional expansion, Japanese aid is now necessary not only in Asia, but also in Russia and Eastern Europe, Middle East, Latin America and Pacific Islands, and there are less obstacles thanks to the collapse of iron curtain. However, Japanese aid to these new regions is not functioning smoothy because of the lack of adjustment to the needs of recipients. Therefore, it is important for Japan to know basic human needs of the recipients through closer cultural and social exchanges.
