Based on the MLIT Basic Plan for Policy Evaluations under the Government Policy Evaluations Act, the MLIT uses

three basic policy evaluation methods̶(i) checking policies by periodically measuring and evaluating the achievement

of each measure, (ii) reviewing policies by conducting in-depth analysis on specific focused themes and (iii) conducting

policy assessment by analyzing the necessity of new measures̶and runs management cycles for policies by linking those

methods. In 2019, (i) 13 policy objectives/44 measure goals/143 performance indicators, (ii) 5 themes, and (iii) 17 new

measures were evaluated by the respective systems.

　In addition, policy evaluation of individual public-works projects, individual research and development issues, regulations,

and special taxation measures are conducted as a method of policy evaluation according to the characteristics of

policies, and the results of the evaluations are reflected in budget requests and the development of new measures.

　Also, in accordance with the Act on General Rules for Incorporated Administrative Agencies, performance evaluations

of 15 incorporated administrative agencies as the competent minister were performed.
