If the number of countries involved in development, particularly emerging donors, increases, countries receiving aid will have more options for development funding and assistance, and those options will be more diverse. The entire international community should welcome this in order to encourage development. Just as Japan has the experience of changing from an aid-receiving country to an aid-giving country, many emerging donors also have the history and experience of development in their own countries, and are proactive in utilizing them in the assistance that they provide.

At the same time, it is important that the assistance provided by emerging donors is not conducted according to a method unique to that donor, but rather that it adheres to the procedures and rules, etc., of aid that has been provided by the international community in the past, in order to avoid placement of an excessive burden on the developing countries that receives the aid. To accomplish this, it is necessary to cooperate with the emerging donors.

It is crucial to the development of developing countries for traditional donors and emerging donors to share their knowledge and experience as they cooperate to provide assistance. In the future, it will be necessary to create broad cooperative relationships that include emerging donors, civil society, private businesses, and other diverse actors that are involved in providing aid for development, in order to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and other goals shared by the international community.

with emerging donors is being discussed at a variety of international forum. The Seoul Development Consensus for Shared Growth and the Multi-year Action Plan on Development were formulated at the November 2010 G20 Summit in Seoul attended by representatives from China, India, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, and other emerging donors. In addition, the DAC Statement on “Welcoming New Partnerships in International Development Co-operation” was adopted at the DAC Senior Level Meeting in April 2011. The Fourth High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness was held in Busan, South Korea in November 2011. The participation at the Forum of emerging donors in a new cooperative framework was a significant step forward in efforts toward shared benefit to the international community and addressing issues on a global scale. In the future, it will be important to cooperate with emerging countries as well to steadily implement the commitments of the agreement made in Busan.
