Japan's Foreign Aid

<p>Filling a gap in the existing literature this book analyzes the distinctive features of Japan’s development aid especially technical co-operation in comparison with other donors’ aid. Incorporating a wealth of research it discusses whether Japan is behind other leading donor countries in rethinking its aid policy and whether it lacks transparency sensitivity to recipient needs and a coherent and coordinated policy that targets poverty.</p><p>The volume assesses the nature and effectiveness of the administration of Japan’s aid and explores the degree of involvement of private sector and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Including contributions from experts with direct experience with Japanese ODA the book provides a wide range of recipient and donor viewpoints and presents important policy recommendations.</p>
