Discussion Papers (DPs) are parts of our endeavors to deepen understanding of international development assistance and provide an opportunity to argue important today’s issues with researchers in domestic and abroad. DPs also contribute to improve the quality of our activities through feeding back the results discussed in the DP to our projects. Following is the lists of Discussion papers written in English since 2004.
