Part I
KOICA & SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) was founded as a government
agency on April 1, 1991, to maximize the effectiveness of Korea’s grant aid programs
for developing countries by implementing the government’s grant aid and technical
cooperation programs.
In the past, development cooperation efforts were focused on meeting the Basic
Human Needs (BHNs) of developing countries and on fostering their Human
Resources Development (HRD).
However, the focus has now shifted to promoting sustainable development,
strengthening partnerships with developing partners, and enhancing the local
ownership of beneficiaries.
Additionally, global concerns such as the environment, poverty reduction, gender
mainstreaming, and population have gained significant importance among donor
countries.
Due to the continuously changing trends in development assistance efforts and
practices, KOICA is striving to adapt to these changes by using its limited financial
resources effectively on areas where Korea has a comparative advantage.
In particular, since Korea has the unique experience of developing from one of the
poorest countries in the world to one of the most economically advanced, this knowhow is an invaluable asset that helps KOICA to efficiently support the sustainable
socioeconomic development of its partner countries.
Korea’s ODA & Framework
Official Development Assistance (ODA) is composed of grants or concessional loans,
which are provided to developing countries with the purpose of promoting economic
development and welfare.
Korea’s ODA is classified into three areas: 1) bilateral aid (grant aid & technical
cooperation), 2) bilateral loans, and 3) financial subscriptions and contributions to
international organizations (multilateral).
Bilateral aid is comprised of technical cooperation and various types of transfer
(made in cash, goods or services) with no obligation for repayment, and is
implemented by KOICA under the authority of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
Trade in the Republic of Korea. Bilateral loans are provided on concessional terms
under the name of the Economic Cooperation Development Fund (EDCF),
implemented by the Export-Import Bank of Korea under the Ministry of Strategy and
Finance. Multilateral assistance is delivered either as financial subscriptions or
contributions to international organizations.
Korea's Experience and KOICA's Program for Human Resources Development
Human Resources Development (HRD) has been the most important factor in
Korea’s escape from vicious cycle of poverty and underdevelopment that had existed
for many decades. With scarce natural resources, HRD played a vital role in modern
Korea’s development. Clearly, Korea has emerged as an exemplary showcase of
national development powered by HRD.
From its own development experience, Korea came to fully recognize the
significance of HRD, specifically in regard to Korea’s collaboration with other
developing countries. With much experience and know-how in HRD, Korea
contributes greatly to the international community by sharing its unique development
experience with other nations.
Since its establishment in 1991, KOICA supported a variety of international
cooperation programs for HRD, mainly in project-type aid form, focusing on
education and vocational training with a concentration in building a foundation for
HRD.
The training and expertise-sharing programs help our partner countries build
administrative and technical expertise in both the public and private sectors. In order
to share experience at the grassroots level, under the name of World Friends Korea,
KOICA dispatches Korea Overseas Volunteers to provide services in the fields such
as education, regional development, computer science, health care and nursing.
Approximately 7,806 volunteers have been dispatched to 57 countries thus far.
The training program provides opportunities to individuals from developing countries
to gain first-hand knowledge of Korea’s development experience. The purpose of the
program is to enable the participants to apply what they learned for the development
of their home country or local community. Since 1991, KOICA has offered 2,519
courses to 39,962 participants from 177 countries. There are a wide range of topics
covered in the training program, including administration, economic development,
science and technology, information and communication technology, agriculture and
health. In order to meet the changing needs of partner countries, KOICA always
strives to renovate and improve its HRD programs.
Types of KOICA Training Programs
KOICA offers five major types of training programs:
1. Country Training Program
Tailored programs that are specifically designed for an individual partner country
2. Regular Training Program
Programs that are open to any interested partner countries
3. Special Training Program
Programs that are temporarily available owing to particular commitments of the
Korean as well as partner governments
4. Joint Training Program
Programs conducted in partnership with international organizations and other
agencies
5. Scholarship Program
Master’s degree programs offered to individuals from partner countries
KOICA's Scholarship Program
With the mission to nurture talented students from developing countries, KOICA
invites high-caliber students from developing countries and helps them gain
professional and systematic knowledge that will play a key role in their home
country’s development.
To accomplish this mission, KOICA has been operating master’s degree courses with
leading Korean universities in the fields of economics, trade, women’s empowerment,
rural area development, etc.
In particular, this program has significantly strengthened the relationships between
Korea and the student’s home country. Students, who have been given an
opportunity to see Korea’s experience in poverty reduction and socio-economic
development, will gain a deeper understanding of Korea and contribute to the future
social, political and economic ties between the two nations.
From 1997 to 2010, the program has assisted a total of 977 students through 51
courses. And as of 2011, 280 participants are currently participating in the program
at twelve different universities.
KOICA’s Scholarship Program is fully committed to the Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs) and is determined to expand its efforts to nurture future talents from
developing countries to promote their countries’ sustainable economic growth and
social development.

life and participating in the program.
You were probably excited about coming to a new country, meeting new people and
starting your program. However, if this was your first time in Korea, you might have
experienced some culture shock while you stayed in Korea. Perhaps you found that many
social customs, culture, religion, ways of doing things, and the way things were different
from what you were used to at home.
["Culture shock" describes the emotional upheaval many people experience when they
move to a country with a different culture from what they are used to.]

may be different.
