Part E_2 Reading
The United Nations Technology Bank
Sustainable development is severely limited in the least developed countries (LDCs). They have low levels of human assets and are highly exposed to economic and environmental shocks. In response, the United Nations Technology Bank was founded in 2018 to assist the 46 LDCs and former least developed nations over the next five years.

The bank serves as a link between LDCs and those who can help them. It enables access to current technology and encourages collaborative initiatives with suitable partners inside and beyond the UN system, including the private sector. The UN Technology Bank’s work directly supports a wide range of SDGs. These are economic self-sufficiency, sustainable access to healthcare technology, climate change mitigation, local skills development, ecosystem development, and academic cooperation.

Official Development Assistance
The Japanese government provides funds and technology to developing countries, and the funds are called “Official Development Assistance” (ODA).

Climate change, water issues, large-scale natural disasters, infectious diseases, food issues, and energy are just a few examples of global issues. There are many expectations from all over the world for Japan, which strives to solve global problems through development cooperation.

Japan’s ODA celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2014. Throughout this history, the international community and the roles required for development cooperation have changed dramatically. According to polls, an increasing number of people believe that economic cooperation should be reduced in light of Japan’s difficult economic and financial situation. Therefore, it is also necessary to review the ideal form of development cooperation without being bound by the conventional framework.
