| description |
Japan remains the world's largest
national donor of aid funds. But the Japanese government,
facing prolonged economic stagnation and mounting public
sector debt, is under increasing public pressure to reduce
aid budgets and to use official development assistance in
more explicit pursuit of Japan's own economic and
political interests. Internationally, Japan continues to
attract criticism for its emphasis on infrastructure
projects and its limited willingness to participate in
multilateral partnerships. The authors argue that Japan can
meet these domestic and international challenges by
developing a coherent national strategy for official
development assistance, broadly designed to enhance
effectiveness, accountability, and transparency. |
