Part I KOICA & SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

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 socio-economic development of its partner countries.

Program Information 1


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.

Program Information2


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.



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 ProgramPrograms 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 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.

Part V TRAINING INSTITUTE

PART V. TRAINING INSTITUTE

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The Graduate School of International Studies (GSIS)

at Ewha Womans University was established in

March 1997 to spearhead the effort to produce the

finest global leaders for the 21st century. The

Korean government awarded Ewha with a five-year

grant to establish a GSIS that would provide the

intellectual breadth and professional development

necessary to successfully launch women into the

international arena.

Ewha GSIS has a winning program and a proven track 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.

2. ACCOMMODATION

To meet the needs of the global era and to foster women leaders who will lead 'Initiative Ewha', this dormitory was established in September 2006, with high-tech facilities. On a 16,597 gross area, the dormitory consists of two 9-story buildings (7-story buildings with a 2-story basement).There are 53 single rooms and 78 twin rooms for students, and 22 rooms for professors or researchers. In

total, the dormitory can accommodate 437 residents.Each room is equipped with bathroom and internet service. There are whole facilities to help with your study and life, such as a: fitness room, PC room (online video chatting available), seminar room, reading room, prayer room, lounge, convenience store for new residents, birthday party, monthly prayer meeting, and so on.

In order to meet Ewha's educational goals, which are informationalization, globalization, and specialization, this dormitory is to serve as a community of intelligence, where Ewha graduate students, exchange students, language center students, professors, and researchers cohabit

and have closer interactions. Therefore, the dormitory will play an important role in promoting intercultural communication and fostering women leaders.

Multicultural Meditation Room: For non-Christians such as Muslim, Buddhist, etc.

Kitchenette: The shared kitchenette is for international students to cook ethnic

foods.
