We will Go Ahead as a “Friend and Equal Partner”
Japan regards Sudan as one of the most important
countries for achieving the peace and stability in Africa
and the world.
Japan commits itself to make utmost efforts towards more
prosperous and dynamic Sudan.
Japan will carry out every single commitment towards “WinWin relations between our two countries” without fail.
As of 26 Mar 2014
Japan has provided “Official Development Assistance (ODA)” to Sudan,
which has amounted to over US$ 1.2 billion since 2005 through both
bilateral and multilateral channels.
It includes 56 General Grant Assistance Projects, 53 Grant Assistance
for Grassroots and Human Security Projects (GGP), Technical
Assistance, dispatch of more than 600 Japanese Experts and 23 Japan
Overseas Cooperation Volunteers (JOCV) and acceptance of around
1,450 Sudanese trainees in Japan.
In addition to the provision of the ODA, our partnership has been
extended into the fields of culture, sports, education, trade and investment.
Japan’s Approach is…
1
Joint-efforts by Japanese & Sudanese
2
A key to success is empowerment of individuals. Each person’s
initiative is the most essential resource which comes from genuine
motivation towards the country’s development.
Japan’s assistance is not a “charity” and not one- way. We expect all
Sudanese counterparts to work “together” with Japanese experts
hand in hand to tackle various issues. Let us think together, work
together, and finally, laugh together.
3
Follow-ups for Sustainability
Good follow-ups lead to good results. All Japanese projects need to be
followed up for at least 5 years to secure the sustainability of projects
together with Sudanese counterparts.
1
Individual Human Development
4
100% Transparency, Accountability and
Compliance
Japanese ODA is supported by the Japanese tax payers while it is
implemented in the recipient countries. Therefore, Japan’s ODA
requires 100% transparency, accountability and compliance of its
projects to the people of Japan and Sudan.

Multilateral Assistance
The Government of Japan has decided to contribute
US$ 25.2 million to the United Nations and other
International Organizations to support vulnerable people
and flood victims in Sudan in February 2014.
This contribution is a part of Japan’s additional funding in
FY 2013 (April 2013 - March 2014) for the execution of the
projects of humanitarian assistance for African countries,
wherein the amount allocated to Sudan is the third
largest after Somalia and Mali.
Japan is the second largest provider of the assessed
contributions (10.8% in 2013) to the UN peacekeeping
budget which includes that of UNAMID.
Japan commits itself to make its utmost efforts to secure
the effectiveness and efficiency of these projects in
collaboration with the Government of Sudan, the
United Nations and international organizations.
Japan recently contributed US$ 500,000 to the AU Highlevel Implementation Panel (AUHIP) in March, 2014. This is
a part of Japan’s additional funding to the AU Peace
Fund.
