KOICA Fellowship 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 know-

how 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 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.

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 3,410

courses to 53,810 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.

PREPARATION OF INDIVIDUAL RESEARCH Part IV

1. GUIDELINES FOR PREPARATION OF THE INDIVIDUAL RESEARCH

Each participant, with support and input from the Programme, is required to develop a

substantial research on an individual basis. The format of Individual Research will be an

action-oriented research paper. Participants are encouraged to clearly identify the

purpose of their research, through which they could later on develop a substantial output.

Participants will conduct Individual Research under the guidance of APCEIU and

with support and input from their colleagues during the Programme. At the end of the

Programme, each participant is required to submit and give a presentation of the final outcome of his/her Individual Research.

Individual Project is aimed at developing capacities of participants in educational

research, particularly in sharpening their skills of analysis, synthesis, comparison,

critical thinking, and presentation. Participants will develop their own Individual

Research based on literature review and collected experiential learning they will

have gained during the Programme. APCEIU will assist in exposing the participants

to research access, and in providing field visits and observation opportunities.

All Individual Research should be issue-based and action-oriented, and draw

implications from the learning experiences, especially from the observation and field activities at Korean schools and institutions, during the Programme. Topic of Individual Research should be an education issue or case situation of each

participant’s own choice. Considering the short research period, topics should be

very specific. Inferring from the lessons learned from the Korean study-case,

participants could draw meaningful implications to make constructive suggestions to

their initial issue/problem, and vice-versa.

Participants should refine their topics of the Individual Research in consultation with

APCEIU.

2. STEPS TO DEVELOP INDIVIDUAL RESEARCH

a) Identify a prominent issue in the country’s current situation of education

development (policies and practices)

b) Analyzing the issue in reference to with Korean case through training sessions,

especially field research and observation at Korean schools and educational

institutions Propose an innovative solution to the issue based on implications

from the Programme

c) Proposing an innovative solution to the issue based on research implications

USEFUL INFORMATION Part V
