Learning Curves: The Japan Special Fund
Asian Development Bank | September 2007
Abstract
The Japan Special Fund complements ADBʹs technical assistance program with untied grants, with ADB as administrator. It was set up in March 1988 to help ADBʹs developing member countries restructure their economies in light of the changing global environment, broaden opportunities for new investment, and prepare loan projects. In particular, it supports their efforts towards industrialization, natural resource development, human resource development, and technology transfer. It also supports ADBʹs efforts to promote regional cooperation and integration and . capacity development Between 1988 to 2006, the Japan Special Fund financed 1,578 technical assistance projects for $974.8 million. In what areas did the Fund perform well? What areas need improvement? How should risk be managed more effectively? How should the Fund be administered better so that development objectives are achieved?
