The Impact of the "Sustainable Development Goals" on Japan's International Education Aid Policy

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: After the Dakar Forum, the Japanese government issued two key documents on international education aid: the 2002 Basic Education for Growth Initiative and the 2015 JICA Education Cooperation Report. A comparative study of their content reveals that, while maintaining consistency, the latter is an extension and development of the former. The reasons for this are closely linked to the international context in which both documents were created, particularly the United Nations' "Sustainable Development Goals" and the strategic importance of international education aid in Japan's foreign policy.
