Norma Politik dan Bantuan Multilateral: Strategi Jepang dalam Mengatasi Covid-19 di Indonesia

Abstract

This paper explains how political norms can influence Japan to use a multilateral assistance strategy in the context of dealing with Covid-19 in Indonesia. Japan distributes Official Development Assistance (ODA) assistance through a multilateral assistance strategy because Japan, as an Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) country, follows international norms, namely the 2008 Accra Agenda for Action norms. These international norms use the principle of inclusive partnership in efforts to provide help. These international norms are strongly supported by domestic norms, namely the 2015 Development Cooperation Charter. The charter adheres to the principle of development cooperation in efforts to provide assistance. The norms that contain the values of the principle of cooperation internalized into the policy of providing Japanese ODA assistance, namely in the form of Japan's multilateral assistance strategy in the context of handling Covid-19 in Indonesia thus creating a better human security condition.
