Hinweis der Redaktion
- Mr. Park Won-soon, President of CITYNET and Mayor of Seoul Metropolitan Government,and Distinguished guests,it is my pleasure to give you a brief introduction on KOICA.
- Korea is one of the successful cases in the field of official development assistance (ODA) because of its drastic, unprecedented economic development. If we look back to some fifty years ago, it was a poor country with life expectancy of 52.4 years and its GNI per capita less than USD 70. However, now most of Koreans live more than 80 years with GNI per capita of USD 27,620, which is nearly 400 times larger than what Korean earned in 1950s.
- Such increase of income is an outcome of hardworking Koreans to pursue a better life and has been demonstrated through world trade index. The Korean economy is now one of top 10 economies in the world, and it ranked the 9th in 2011, with its trade volume breaking through 1 trillion USD.
- These are Korea’s top 5 export products in recent years. High-tech products such as semiconductor, ships, wire/wireless phones are the very products that raise our economy and as well the nation’s pride in the world.
- But what makes us more proud is that Korea is helping developing countries in need through ODA,and its ODA disbursement is in a steady and rapid increase. In 2005, Korea’s ODA was merely USD 455 million, with 0.05% of ODA/GNI,but in 2012, it tripled to USD 1,578 million, with 0.14% of ODA/GNI.
- Korea’s rapid economic development and its participation in ODA is indeed something to be proud of. But we should not also forget that KOICA itself represents the Korean government’s grant aid activities. KOICA was established in 1991 as a government agency in charge of grant aid and technical cooperation. It is headquartered now in Seongnam of Gyeonggi-Province, previously in Seoul,and has 46 overseas offices with altogether 468 staff members. In 2013, KOICA’s yearly budget is USD 505 million, which covers some 70% of Korean bilateral aid.
- Our mission is very simple: to bring “Happiness for All, with Global KOICA.” Our goal is to help developing countries to achieve sustainable socio-economic development by supporting them to reduce poverty, improve the quality of life, resolve global development issuesand cooperate with the global community.
- To fulfill our mission, we have 46 offices in 44 countries,and have 10 department and 23 teams in the headquarters in Korea to lead and support the activities done in overseas offices.
- What is more, is that KOICA runs the “World Friends Korea” overseas volunteers program,which is the Korean government’s official volunteers program that consists of seven volunteer program. Currently, more than 1,700 volunteers are dispatched in 46 countries, which makes Korea the second largest volunteer organization of the world.
- - General Volunteers : The General volunteer program has been providing two-year commitments for Korean nationals aged 20 to 62 who has knowledge and techniques specializing in a certain field. In the case of male applicants, military duty has to be fulfilled before joining the program. - Senior Volunteers : A volunteer who is at least 50 years old and has expertise is called a "Senior Volunteer." - International Cooperation Volunteers : Korean nationals who are classified as having field officer or reserve army status can replace their military duty with overseas volunteer work. As General Volunteers, International Cooperation Volunteers applicants are also need to have some knowledge or certification concerning a certain field. - International Cooperation Doctors : Korean nationals who have certification as a specialist doctor or who is going to acquire that qualification can replace their military service with overseas volunteer work. They are eligible to serve as doctors in several developing countries. - Other (KOICA-NGO Volunteers, Korea University Volunteers) : KOICA has been supporting NGOs which dispatch volunteers to developing countries. These volunteers are called a "KOICA-NGO volunteer". In addition, KOICA also has operated volunteer programs with some universities. Students who are recommended from their university can serve as a KOV and they can obtain academic credits from volunteer activity.
- About half of KOICA’s program is focused in country (regional) assistance program. Then, some 40% goes to KOICA’s Global Program, which includes multinational training for fellows from developing countries,World Friends Korea (WFK) volunteers program, public-private partnership (PPP) program and cooperation with international organizations. Also, there is East Asia Climate Program (EACP) that aims to help climate change-prone countries to pursue sustainable development.
- Now, let’s take a look on KOICA by its budget allocation. About 53% of the budget is funneled to Asia, due to its regional proximity,then to Africa by 21%, Latin America, Middle East & Central Asia by 13% each. KOICA´s budget is also distributed according to its 5 priority sectors. ´Education´ receives the most, by 30%, seconds comes ‘health’ sector by 23%,and some 10 to 15% are distributed among ‘governance,’ ‘agriculture, forest and fisheries,’and ‘industry & energy.’
- According to the “selection and focus” principle, 62% of KOICA’s budget is allocated to 26 priority countries, which is designated by the Korean government. 16% of the budget flows to fragile states. By income group,44% of KOICA’s aid is channeled to least developed countries (LDCs) that have GNI below $990,another 44% goes to low middle income countries (LMICs), of which GNI is less than $3,975. 11% is for upper middle income countries (UMICs), which belongs to the group that has GNI below $12,275.
- To make KOICA’s aid more effective,KOICA’s aid activities are based on the ‘country partnership strategy (CPS).’ The CPS is set up by the Korean government for 26 priority countries, and all the CPSs were finalized in August 2013. Based on Korea’s comparative advantages and development experiences, each CPS details 2-3 primary areas for respective developing countries and seek to align with the partner countries’ national development plan and strategy.
- This simple chart pinpoints KOICA’s mission statement and the priority areas, cross-cutting issues and aid activities to achieve the mission. KOICA carries out development projects in partner countries, dispatch WFK (World Friends Korea) Advisors, who have expertise in sectoral issues, and volunteers. We also invites public servants from partner countries to Korea for training courses, provide humanitarian assistance, and carry out joint projects with international organizations. KOICA has selected 5 priority areas such as education, health, rural development (saemaeul undong), governance, and industry & energy,but it also takes into account of gender equality, ICT, environment, human rights as cross-cutting issues, and tries to make sure that these issues are well considered when the projects on the priority areas are carried out.
- Let me elaborate on Saemaeul undong for rural development. Saemauel Undong, literally meaning “New Community Movement”) is a community-based integrated rural development program of Koreathat turned out to be a great success. KOICA itself will become a platform for a newer version of 새마을운동, by presenting 새마을운동 with a comprehensive strategy—introducing self-transformation, community empowerment, and applying smart and adequate technology. Through 새마을운동, developing countries will be able to achieve MDGs in all sectors.
- As KOICA is the number one grant aid agency in Korea, it has maintained friendly relations with OECD DAC member countries as well as non DAC members. As of November 2013, KOICA has formed partnership with 7 donor agencies including USAID and JICA, and with 3 agencies from non DAC members. KOICA will continue widen its scope of cooperation with these partners to increase aid effectiveness.
- Thank you for your attention. I hope that today marks the beginning of a new partnership between KOICA and CITYNET. Thank you.
