ANALYSIS

MOFA scores 17.2%, placing it in the very poor category. It ranks 30^th of 49 bilateral organisations and trails JICA by over six percentage points. MOFA performs best on planning information at the organisation level, for which it scores just under the Index average. Its activities are missing basic information such as planned and actual dates, status and unique activity identifiers. Project documents and information on the performance of activities are also not systematically published, reflected by MOFA scoring zero on these sub-groups of indicators. Of the 22 indicators that take format into account, none are published in machine-readable formats. Overall, MOFA does not score on 22 of the 39 indicators included in the Index.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• MOFA should work with JICA, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to produce an implementation schedule for IATI publication.
• It should begin publishing to the IATI standard in early 2014 so that it can meet its commitment to full publication of the IATI component of the Busan common standard by the end of 2015.
• MOFA should start publishing project documents and performance data consistently for all its projects.
