Third-party evaluation 2007 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan Country Assistance Evaluation of Mongolia Summary March 2008 Preface This report is a summary of the Country Assistance Evaluation of Mongolia undertaken by the External Advisory Meeting on ODA Evaluation in response to the request by the International Cooperation Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) of Japan. Since its commencement in 1954, Japans Official Development Assistance (ODA) has contributed to addressing international and domestic issues that change over time. Recently, there have been increased domestic and international calls for more effective and efficient implementation of assistance. MOFA, as the coordinating ministry for ODA, has been conducting ODA evaluations, mainly at the policy level and with two main objectives: to support the implementation and management of ODA, and to ensure its accountability. This study was conducted to evaluate the objectives, results and implementation processes of Japans assistance for Mongolia since the Country Assistance Program for Mongolia was finalized (November 2004) until the present in order to draw lessons that could contribute to more effective and efficient implementation of aid and to ensure accountability by publishing the results of the evaluation. The External Advisory Meeting on ODA Evaluation was formed as an informal advisory body of the Director-General of the International Cooperation Bureau of MOFA to improve the objectivity of evaluations. The Meeting is commissioned to design and conduct evaluations of ODA and report the results and recommendations to the International Cooperation Bureau.
