  • While the amount of Official Development Assistance (ODA) in Korea has been increasing, there are some criticism about the effectiveness and management of ODA itself. The ODA in the area of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) is also increasing but seems to have many problems. First, there is not clearly defined or agreed definition for STI ODA internationally as well as domestically. Second, the evaluation on the STI ODA performance is not enough. Third, the planning and management capability to implement ODA project is generally lacking. In this background, the issue of performance factors of STI policy consultation project was analyzed using the case studies and expert interviews. It is concluded that not only STI knowledge transferring capacity but also the absorptive capacity is important for the success of STI policy consultation project. In this sense, it is suggested to plan and manage the STI ODA project with the consideration of both transferring capacity and absorptive capacity.

  • This study analyzed investment effects for Practical Field Studies conducted by the KOPIA (Korea Program on International Agriculture) centers, which are part of the ODA project operated by the Rural Development Administration. Focusing on the productivity and effectiveness factors of each project, a questionnaire survey was sent to each KOPIA center associated with each project. The results demonstrated the production and profitability of farms participating in the pilot project were significantly improved compared to those of farms that did not participate in the project. Also, in the satisfaction results of taste, nutrition, and freshness, the participating firms could significantly improve them when being compared to those of non-participating farms. It is highly expected to contribute to improving the operational effectiveness of Practical Field Projects conducted in Africa based on the results of each project's performance and economic feasibility. This study also can lead to a change in the social perception of ODA projects by raising people's awareness of ODA projects.
