Abstract
Since several years, Official Development Assistance (ODA) has been one of the main pillars of Japanese economics cooperation. In 1995, Japan was for the fifth consecutive years, the largest donor of ODA in terms of volume. However, behind these figures that impress the international community, imbalances remain. These imbalances concern sectoral and geographic allocations as well as the lack of personnel for the administration of aid. While the function of the bureaucracy is complex, even if Japanese aid policy does not seem entirely altruistic, it does appear to have taken a new direction by financing initiatives to solve global problems (environment, AIDS...) and concentrating on improving the efficiency of aid.
