Vietnam's economic growth has progressed rapidly since Doi Moi. Vietnam is a key driving force for global economic growth on behalf of China. Therefore, this study analyzed the factors of Vietnam's economic growth by using time series variables after Doi Moi. Study results show that educational expenditures affect ODA in the short term. In the long run, GDP and FDI are causally related to ODA. Based on the above findings, it can be seen that FDI and ODA played a significant role in Vietnam's economic growth. This finding suggests that in order for Vietnam's economy to grow further, the capital market should be more open to foreigners so that FDI and ODA can flow more smoothly. Since the inflow of FDI is also linked to educational expenditure, it is important to understand that the workforce is being upgraded in the Vietnamese labor market.

2010년부터 2019년까지 지난 10년간 한국의 ODA 현황을 규모와 유형 측면에서 살펴보면, 양자 간 원조 중 유·무상원조 비중은 큰 변동 없이 OECD DAC 회원국의 평균을 밑돌고, 다자 간원조는 21~31% 수준을 유지하고 있다. 프로젝트 원조가 꾸준히 가장 큰 비중을 차지하며 사회 인프라 및 서비스 분야에서 가장 많은 사업이 추진되고 있다. 특히, 수자원과 위생 부문은 사회 인프라 및 서비스 분야에서 보건(33%)과 교육(25%)에 이어 가장 높은 비중(19%)을 차지하고 있다(10년 누계, 약정 기준). 2020년 7월, 현 정부는 '개발 협력을 통한 코로나19 회복력 강화 프로그램(Agenda for Building resilience against COVID-19 through development cooperation, 일명 ABC 프로그램)'을 발표하고, 개도국의 경제·사회 회복력 강화를 위하여 기존 ODA 사업에 ICT와 친환경 사업 요소를 접목한 디지털 및 그린뉴딜 ODA 사업을 적극 발굴, 추진하겠다고 밝혔다. 지난 10년간, 한국과 가장 많은 다자 간 원조를 추진한 지역개발은행(36%)과 세계은행그룹(35%)에서도 코로나19와 같은 위기극복하기 위한 뉴노멀로서 환경 사업의 비중을 높이고 있다. 예컨대, 아시아개발은행은 코로나19에 대응하기 위한 도시 차원의 단·중기 행동 계획으로 도시 상하수도 시설의 지속적인 원활한 운영과 필수적인 물, 위생, 보건(WaSH) 서비스 제공을 최우선적인 조치로 발표하였다. 이러한 배경에서 본 연구는 한국의 ODA 정책 방향을 검토하고 국제사회의 추진 동향을 분석하여 향후 한국이 특화하고 경쟁력을 가질 수 있는 환경 분야의 ODA 전략을 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구 결과는 ODA를 통해 해외 진출을 도모하는 민간기업과 국력 향상의 수단으로써 ODA를 적극적으로 활용하겠다는 기조를 지닌 새 정부의 ODA 전략 수립에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

This Research Paper was based on practical method to examine a subjectivity of ODA experts' images. It was used Q-methodology to solve the research problems. I found 4 types of images out throughout the process totally. The perception patterns came out in the research were divided into 4 types in Q-methodology. The results is following ; Those are separated 4 types like Type 1(called operationally individual type), Type 2(arbitrary type), Type 3(mellow type), Type 4(onlooking type). These types consist of each elements to evaluate ODA experts from the people minds. Therefore, This study give us one way to take an assessment of ODA projects. The results reveal that korean ODA policy more has to depend on the scientific evaluation of the person participated in each projects. And the findings demonstrate good questions in comparing with trends of ODA distributors of international development cooperation such as OECD/DAC.

Many developing countries consider ICT as a key enabler to improve their educational systems and teachers are viewed as change agents. This paper aims to present policy suggestions concerning how to foster teachers' ICT competencies in developing countries based on the outcomes of an ODA project case in Peru. This study was conducted through three stages: Literature survey, site visit, and policy suggestions. To draw relevant policy suggestions, we employed the framework of the 'macro-meso-micro' level of teacher professional development. The following policy suggestions are discussed: (a) macro level: to develop the national framework of teacher ICT competencies and competency-based teacher training, (b) meso-level: to promote teacher communities of practices and school-based research programs, and (c) micro-level: to redesign teacher professional development programs to help teachers better understand the complex relationships between content, pedagogy, and technology, beyond learning about basic ICT literacy skills. This study contributes to the understanding of how ODA projects can approach the issue of teacher ICT capacity building at multiple levels.

물관리는 밀레니엄개발목표(Millennium Development Goals)의 달성과정에서 가장 강조되는 주제 중의 하나이다. 물관리의 최종목표는 물관리 그 자체가 아니라 자연적으로는 유한한 수자원의 지속가능성을 유지하고 사회적으로는 계층간의 형평성을 실현하는 것이다. 그러나 개발도상국들은 한정된 국가재정으로 기반시설의 투자가 부족하고 기후변화에 따른 자연재해의 빈발로 인하여 인간다운 삶의 질을 보장받기 어려운 상황에 직면하여 있다. 이러한 인식 아래, 미국, EU, 일본 등의 선진국은 물론 이웃 중국도 개발도상국을 대상으로 물 관련 사업의 공적개발원조(ODA) 프로그램을 활발하게 추진하고 있다. 최근 우리나라의 대 개도국 협력사업은 한국국제협력단(KOICA)이 수행하는 ODA 사업을 중심으로 큰 폭으로 늘어나고 있다. 우리나라의 물 분야 지원사업도 식수개발, 댐건설, 관개시설 개발, 수질오염처리, 재해방지 예 경보 시스템 및 홍수조절사업 등으로 다방면에 걸쳐 활발하게 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 우리나라의 물 분야 ODA 사업은 정책 및 제도에 대한 컨설팅이나 교육훈련 등 소프트웨어 기반의 원조개발협력은 상대적으로 미진하고 물리적 인프라 위주의 지원사업이 대부분을 차지하고 있다. 최근에는 전문가 파견 및 연수생 초청 등의 인적협력의 사례가 증가하고 있으나 아직까지는 사업내용의 대부분이 건물, 시설물 및 기자재 등의 구조적인 지원 형태로 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 형태는 일찍이 대개도국 물 분야 사업을 추진한 미국이나 일본 등의 선진국들이 원조협력사업의 일관성과 지속성을 평가하기 위하여 제도적이고 정책적인 지원을 확대하는 것과는 거리가 있다. 1992년 KOICA가 네팔 모디강 수력발전소 실시설계 지원으로 시작된 우리나라의 물 분야 사업도 이제 20년에 이르고 있다. 물 분야 지원사업도 새로운 방향전환이 필요한 시점이다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라의 물 분야 ODA 지원사업의 현황과 문제점을 파악하고 향후 나아가야 할 정책방향을 제시한다. 이를 위하여 먼저 아시아의 스리랑카와 아프리카의 에티오피아의 2개 국가를 사례지역으로 선정하고 물관리의 현황과 문제점을 파악한다. 그리고 사례지역에 대한 우리나라의 물 분야 ODA 지원사업의 현황과 당면과제를 분석한다. 마지막으로 선진국과 우리나라의 물분야 지원사업의 추진방향을 비교분석하여 우리나라 물 분야 ODA 지원사업이 지향할 방향성을 제시한다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze research trends in international development and cooperation on education and to suggest directions for the Korean teachers and teacher education to achieve 'Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).' The examination of 8 databases resulted in the identification of 2,945 studies, and 6 of these references met the inclusion criteria for systemic review. Major findings revealed that pre- and in-service teachers recognized the necessity of international development education but had a low degree of teacher efficacy. The teachers who participated in ODA education programs have experienced difficulties due to insufficient understanding of local sites and role performance. Then, a couple of studies of mathematics and early childhood education compared the Korean national curriculum and education system with developing countries'. Lastly, it is important to have a sustainable system which promotes all teachers, including retired ones, in global development and cooperation on education. For the successful achievement of SDGs, Korean teachers should develop their expertise, a deep understanding of partner countries, and stable quality education for the underprivileged.

Various opinions and discussions have been actively in progress which are connected with cultural heritage since 'Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs' was announced by UN Sustainable Development Summit 2015 as Post-2015 Development Agenda. Apart from SDGs, conservation of cultural heritage itself stands on the basis of sustainability that originality, characteristic, diversity of cultural heritage should be permanently preserved. From that point of view, it is necessary to understand practical ODA for cultural heritage, far from theoretical approaches and policies. This paper is intended to look into the domestic and overseas situation related to ODA of Asian cultural heritage and the mentioned problems, future plans and challenges. First, the background and concepts about ODA were described and then ODA projects which have been carried out by Japan and China as typical ODA countries for Southeast Asia were introduced. ODA of cultural heritage in Korea has relatively recently started for restoration work for historic sites of Laos and Cambodia and its scale and performance do not come to much yet. Therefore, to develop ODA of cultural heritage, there are suggestions as in the followings. First, it is necessary to have a long-term master plan of ODA projects for sustainability of cultural heritage. Second, based on the view from the long-term perspective, the selection and focus for ODA partner countries should be considered, avoiding short-term projects aiming at a number of countries. Not widespread existing projects by other countries, but the model of Korean ODA for cultural heritage only Korea can conduct should be prepared. The next thing is connection with sustainability, and ultimately the conservation of cultural heritage should result in benefit to the natives by giving an impetus to economy as well as fostering tourism of local areas. To accomplish that connection, educational training and building capacity are suggested as the most suitable alternatives. Cultural heritage of each country reflects its indigenous originality and characteristics, therefore, the restoration work should be conducted by people in each country as the best way. From this point of view, ACPCS held by National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage will take a role of a specialized training program in Korean way. Lastly, establishment of a control tower for ODA in Korea is necessary. JCIC(Japan Consortium for International Cooperation in Cultural Heritage), which was set up in Japan for sharing information, establishment of cooperation system and prevention of overlapped projects will be an example we can take into consideration.

This study was an attempt to review of tuberculosis control projects supported by(Official Development Assistance: ODA) and to describe the meaning of the influencing factors. Also, the study aims to determine the exit strategies of donor countries to sustain these projects. The research was conducted reviewing of tuberculosis-related reports and documents, and understood the tuberculosis control projects in Philippines. There were 14 people who participated, and explored the sustainability limits using in-depth interviewing and observation method. Data from interviews and participant observations were analyzed to the phenomenological method by Colaizzi(1978). A total 4 categories were grouped on the final. The finding shows factors that affect the sustainability of these tuberculosis control projects within Philippines supported by ODA have been divided and explained as follow; "limit of workforce", "limit of finance", "limit of facility and equipment", "limit of participation". To sustain these projects, the following alternative plans have been exemplified; "strengthening professionalism", "strengthening education and public relations", "activated strategy for community involvement", "matching funds for financing". Furthermore, the study of integrated tuberculosis control projects will be needed.
