Collaborating with International Organizations

 Overseeing government administration in Japan from a broad perspective, the Administrative Management Bureau (AMB) disseminates information on government administration in Japan and collects information on the most up-to-date theories and practices overseas. These are achieved by collaborating with international organizations through attendance of their meetings and the sharing of best practices.

• OECD (Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development)
• IIAS (International Institute for Administrative Sciences)
• ASPA (The American Society for Public Administration)

 OECD, often referred to as “the world’s largest think tank,” is an international organization established in 1961, with the goals to achieve a) economic growth, b) free trade, and c) assistance to developing countries by providing a forum for free exchange of views and information among developed countries.
