Abstract: Japan’s official development assistance (ODA) programme, the world’s second largest, is best known for its funding of large-scale infrastructure projects. However, the aid programme has been undergoing a process of reform and more progressive aid projects are emerging. The paper concludes that although an increase in the number of such projects can be expected, large-scale infrastructure projects will remain the centrepiece of Japan’s aid programme.
