5. Second Party Opinion from Moody's Investors Service
Summary
We have assigned an SQS2 Sustainability Quality Score (Very good) to Japan International Cooperation Agency's ('JICA' or 'the agency') social and
sustainability bond framework dated 4 April 2023. JICA's use-of-proceeds framework has been established with the aim to finance projects across nine
social categories and six categories with combined social and environmental objectives. The framework is aligned with the four core components of the
International Capital Market Association's (ICMA) Green Bond Principles 2021 (including June 2022 Appendix 1), Social Bond Principles 2021 (including
June 2022 Appendix 1) and Sustainability Bond Guidelines 2021. The framework also demonstrates a significant contribution to sustainability.
