Abstract
This study reviews Japan’s ODA in the temporal and sectoral context. It evaluates the effectiveness of ODA from Japan using a case study of the ODA for the Mass Rapid Transport System (MRTS) projects in India within a framework of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Japan’s ODA accounts for over one third of external development assistance received by India. However, most of the funding is earmarked for technology intensive sectors. The case studies of the metro systems in Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore and Kolkata reveal that Japan has been unable to successfully link ODA to the MDGs despite the great potential and that greater intervention at the policy and project level is needed.
