A Role of Korea in Development Cooperation
Economic Development Cooperation Fund (EDCF) in 1987
Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) in 1991
On Jan. 1, 2010, Korea became a member of OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC).
Plans to increase the nation’s ODA/GNI ratio to 0.15% by 2012 and to 0.25% by 2015.
The G-20 summit in 2010: A bridge b/w advanced country and developing country through Korea’s experience of rapid economic growth.
Focus on Bilateral ODA
Need to expand into Multilateral ODA

27. 3. The Role of International Agricultural Cooperation
ODA and Agriculture from OECD countries
Agricultural ODA begins to increase in the early 2000s due to Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) which focus on ending extreme poverty and hunger.
In 2011, Agricultural ODA is $10.6 billion and its share is about 6.5%.

28. 3. The Role of International Agricultural Cooperation
Korea’s ODA by Sectors b/w 2006~2011, Total $8.1 billion
Agricultural ODA accounts for 5.3% of total Korea’s ODA.
Economic Infrastructure such as transport, energy, and etc. is 39.7% and education, water supply and sanitation, health are also more than 10%.

CPS(Country Partnership Strategy) for Cambodia: Agricultural Development, Transportation and Green Energy, Human Resource Development, Health
Korea has the greatest potential for the development of higher education and training, agriculture and environment in Cambodia according to our research at KIEP in 2012.

30. 3. The Role of International Agricultural Cooperation
The Rationale behind International Agricultural Development and Cooperation
Agricultural development is the most important factor for achieving MDGs, e.g., MDG1 is “Eradicate Poverty and Hunger” and is expected to continue as one of goals for post-2015 development agenda (mainly “Sustainable Development”) by UN.
☞ Needs for contributing to the post-2015 development agenda!
Korea’s joining in Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of OECD means our official commitments to the international development and Korea’s aid is expected to increase from 0.15% of ODA/GNI in 2012 to 0.25% in 2015.
☞ Building our agricultural development capacity is essential!
“Effective Development” as well as ownership, managing for results, mutual accountability for principles on aid effectiveness were adopted by the 4nd high level forum in Busan, Korea in 2011 with emphasis on capacity building, public-private partnership, triangular cooperation, south-south cooperation and etc.
☞ Ag. cooperation w/ other donors and better understanding on recipient countries!
☞ Evaluation of development effectiveness, e.g., use of randomization.
