The JICA Guidelines for Environmental and Social Considerations, launched in 2004, are one of the most important environmental policies for JICA. This paper aims at elucidating the advantages and disadvantages of the guidelines. These guidelines will be revised next year because JICA and JBIC (ODA loan section) merged into a new organization in October 2008. Moreover, the revision of both the environmental guidelines is an essential topic of discussion; this paper will contribute to the discussion of this issue.
The results of this paper suggest that, in general, the guidelines have worked well for about four years, the projects of grant aid scheme categorized as B are relatively not high performance, and the alternatives are also not adequately considered. These issues should be further discussed for creating more effective guidelines in the ongoing process.
