| description |
The Government of Japan has been
supporting capacity development through the World Bank for
17 years. It has provided grants under its Policy and Human
Resources Development (PHRD) Fund to support graduate
scholarships, training activities, and preparation and
implementation of loans and credits. Various evaluations
have shown all three types of assistance to be effective,
and grants to support project preparation in particular have
generally been judged highly successful, because they have
contributed to rapid and high-quality preparation of lending
operations. A recent independent evaluation has shown that
these grants have also contributed substantially to human
capacity development in recipient countries, because
recipient execution has led to strong ownership, the nature
of project preparation has put a premium on capacity
development needs, and the design of the program has favored
capacity development activities. |
