Introduction

Evaluation is an indispensable means by which JICA can promote effective cooperation under results-based management, enhance its transparency, and secure accountability. JICA defines three objectives of evaluation:

(1) Using evaluation feedback as means for project operation and management, (2) Enhancing the learning effects of the personnel and organizations concerned for more effective project implementation, (3) Disclosing Information widely to secure JICA's accountability. JICA has conducted various types of evaluation and has extended great effort into evaluation as part of its operations.
