Abstract: Abstract There is a shared consensus on the importance of ownership in the development process, and virtually all recent literature argues that aid should better promote national ownership. In this regard, we would like to stress that ownership is not entirely a new concept for Japan. Notwithstanding the recently intensified global attention paid to country ownership, Japan has embraced such a concept for a long time, describing it as ‘self-help effort’. Moreover, the Japanese interpretation of ownership (or ‘self-help effort’) is broader and more dynamic than are conventionally held views. We also believe that a spirit of self-help effort has been widely shared and practised in East Asia.
