Abstract
As was described in Chapter 6, the Brantas River Basin Development Plan in Indonesia was supported by Japan’s financial and technical assistance. It not only successfully produced individual project outcomes, but also promoted institutional evolution, policy improvement and endogenous human resource enhancement that had an effect in regions beyond the Brantas river basin. In contrast, the Kilimanjaro Agriculture Development Programme in Tanzania, also a long-term public infrastructure investment financially and technically supported by Japan, has not as yet produced the hoped-for impact in terms of institutional evolution, policy improvement and human resource enhancement, although certain individual projects have attained some success. What were the causes behind this distinct difference between the two infrastructure projects?
