Since 2018, the Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) has collaborated with the Donor Tracker, an initiative of SEEK Development, to analyze and portray Japan’s efforts in the field of international development, including in agriculture, climate finance, education, gender equality, global health, research and development (R&D) in global health, and nutrition. We publish our efforts weekly in the form of Policy Updates on the Donor Tracker, an open and freely accessible platform funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The Donor Tracker supports the field of international development by providing a central source of accessible qualitative and quantitative information on 14 major Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) donors, which taken together contribute over 80% of the world’s Official Development Assistance (ODA). The Donor Tracker provides insights into each donor’s strategic priorities and funding trends across seven key sectors. HGPI provides independent data-based insights into Japan’s development funding trends, sectoral uses, and decision-making processes.
