Official Development Assistance

The Japanese government provides funds and technology to developing countries, and the funds are called “Official Development Assistance” (ODA). It is implemented for peacebuilding, governance, the promotion of basic human rights, and humanitarian assistance.

About 146 countries have people who suffer from poverty, lack enough food, and do not receive sufficient education and medical care. Japan faces high expectations from the world for its assistance. It is an important role of Japan to support developing countries and achieve the SDGs as well, but in this long history, the situation has been changing. Therefore, it is also necessary to review the ideal form of development cooperation without being bound by the conventional framework.
