Part I
KOICA & SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The Korea International Cooperation Agency 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.

PART I. KOICA & SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
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 in the Republic of Korea. Bilateral
loans are provided on concessional terms under the name of the Economic
Development Cooperation 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.

PART I. KOICA & SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
Korea's Experience and KOICA's Program for Human Resources Development
Human Resource Development (HRD) has been the most important factor in Korea's
escape from the vicious cycle of poverty and underdevelopment that had existed for
many decades. With scant 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 human resources development.
From its own development experience, Korea came to fully recognize the significance of
HRD, specifically in regards to Korea's collaboration with other developing countries.
With much experience and know-how in HRD, Korea can contribute greatly to the
international community by sharing its unique development experience with other
nations.
Since its establishment in 1991, KOICA has supported a variety of international
cooperation programs for HRD, mainly in project-type aid form focusing on education
and vocational training with a focus 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 3,106 courses to
49,020 participants from 173 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.

KOICA's Scholarship Program
With a 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 development, etc.
In particular, this program has significantly strengthened the relationships between
Korea and the students’ home countries. 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 2013, the program has assisted a total of 1,854 students through 92
courses. In addition, as of 2014, 290 participants will participate in 16 master’s degree
programs at 16 Korean universities.
KOICA 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.

record of producing global leaders. Ewha is the largest
women’s university in the world. In addition, the Korean Ministry of Education and
Human Resources Development ranks Ewha GSIS as the number one out of all
Korean GSIS programs.
The student body of Ewha GSIS is truly global. In addition to students from Korea,
the students also come from the United States, Argentina, Australia, Canada, China,
Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Vietnam to name a few. Thus, students not
only learn in the classroom about topics such as multiculturalism, but actually learn
to “live” and “cooperate” within a multicultural environment. Due to the small class
size of Ewha GSIS, and high faculty to student ratio, students form a close working
relationship with the faculty and find opportunities to participate in the faculty’s
research projects as Research Assistants (RAs), or learn teaching skills by working as
Teaching Assistants (TAs).
Ewha GSIS is the hub for training 21st century global leaders and is the strategic
choice for women seeking the best education, the most dynamic atmosphere, and
the greatest competitive edge any program can offer. In short, Ewha GSIS is the only

program of its kind in Korea to offer exceptional leadership opportunities and
courses specifically geared for women leaders.

cohabit and have closer interactions. Therefore, the
