Abstract
After participation in the Colombo Plan in 1954, Japan has provided Official Development Assistance (ODA) to 185 countries and areas, and the accumulated amount of Japan's ODA is approximately US$ 221 billion for 50 years. Japan is the second largest ODA donor country in the world now. The country is contributing to the peace and development of the international community. However, the recipient government and the parties concerned are not always satisfied with the Japan's ODA system.. Especially the grant aid system is strongly based on the domestic public work system. This paper analyzes the problems and figures out solutions from the viewpoint of donor and the participant.
