Developing countries including poor countries cannot accumulate enough domestic saving and government budget for their industrialization. They need to finance the capital for development from abroad sources; foreign direct investment (FDI) and official development assistance (ODA). The developing countries can improve their business climate for more ODA. This paper examines whether ODA improve the business climate of developing countries. In this paper, the business climate are measured by the starting business scores and the scores of credit and protecting investor in Doing Business project of World Bank. According to the empirical result, ODA has significant effect on the starting business scores for low and lower middle income countries, but insignificant effect for upper middle countries. In the case of the scores of credit and protecting investor, ODA has significant effect only for lower middle income countries.

ODA projects such as multi-purpose dam, industrial complex, road construction etc. have resulted in environmental damage and resident relocation including destruction of site of living. Even the grandiose developments as ODA projects have made clear the value clashes between development and environmental conservation, and have brought about conflicts between public interests and public environmental right, and the discordance between public interests and private property rights in the recipient country. This study summarizes and analyses the Korea's ODA projects and will suggest the public participation and governance system based on Saemaul Movement, Strategic Environmental Assessment and Environmental Impact Assessment based on the guideline of OECD DAC, and emphasize Strategic Environmental Assessment and Social Impact Assessment in the procedure of ODA projects. In the future the ODA project should be implemented for the overcome of poverty and response to climate change based on the experience and trial and errors of Korea's compact growth and past ODA projects.

In this paper, the volume of ODA of Korea to developing countries has been analysed quantitatively based on statistical information, compared with Korea's ODA in the scope of the maritime industry. Thereafter, norms and policies of ODA in OECD DAC and trends of ODA in international societies have been examined through literature and qualitative researches so that possible ways to forward in Korea's ODA have been proposed. Hence, in this paper it h as been recognized that the volume of ODA related with the Korean maritime industry has been standing still as the before despite tremendous increase of total volume of Korea's ODA. for last 10 years. Consequently, the paper would like to propose possible measures that might been taken by the Korean government to raise the volume of ODA related with the maritime industry.

Korea is the only country which had been helped from developed countries and is now helping developing countries. Various ODA programs have been actively conducted by Korea after joining the OECD in 1999. Recently, Korea increases the ODA funds to achieve the goal of ODA/GNI ratio 0.2% until 2020. Science and technology ODA (so called appropriate technology) is a huge issue because the departments or agencies of Korean government also increase ODA funds. This research will provide the information of Korean science and technology ODA according to the research areas and funding sources since 1999.

공적개발원조(Official Development Assistance; 이하 ODA)는 세계 평화와 인류 공영에 이바지하기 위하여 개발도상국 또는 국제기구에 공여하는 증여(Grant) 및 양허적 성격의 차관(Concession Loan)으로(한국환경산업기술원, 2013), 당해 사업의 추진방식은 크게 양자간 원조와 다자간 원조 방식으로 구분된다. 양자간 원조는 공여국으로부터 수원국으로 원조자원이 직접 전달되는 방식인 반면, 다자간 원조방식은 IMF, ADB, IBRD, WB, EBRD, IDA 등 국제개발은행(MDB, Multilateral Development Bank) 및 UN 등에 출자 또는 출연됨으로써 간접적으로 원조자원이 전달되는 방식이다(오지택, 2012). 그리고 양자간 원조방식은 프로젝트 참여 국가를 제한하느냐, 제한하지 않느냐에 따라 구속성 원조(tied)와 비구속성(un-tied) 방식으로 구분된다. 그런데 이러한 양자간 ODA 원조 방식에 변화의 바람이 일고 있다. 국제 사회에서는 ODA 원조의 효과성 제고라는 명분하에 공여국들에게 원조방식의 비-구속성 원조를 촉구, 그 규모가 빠르게 증가하고 있다. 즉 ODA 비구속성 원조를 중심으로 한 또 하나의 시장이 성장하고 있는 것이다. 이에 본 논고에서는 ODA, 특히 물 관련 ODA 자금의 미래 성장 가능성을 살펴보고, 나아가 시장 분포, 프로젝트 특성 등을 살펴보고자 한다.

Considering the high needs of recipient countries and the regional biases of Korean Official Development Assistance (ODA) policy, increases in the total amount of ODA and allocation to the forest sector are needed for Central Asia. In Tajikistan, illegal harvesting and grazing cause a gradual decrease in forest area. The Tajikistan government conserves forests by requesting international cooperation and establishing a policy for sustainable management of forest resources and prevention of further damages. To suggest suitable strategies and plans, the current statuses of forests and forestry were investigated, and ODA projects that can illustrate successful Korean experiences of forestation were conceived based on various geographical features and local conditions of Tajikistan in this study. Forest resource creation type projects (fuelwood and Tugai forest restoration) could result in energy independence and enhancement of ecosystem service such as a climate regulation and an increase in biodiversity. Community development type projects (introduction of ecotourism, agroforestry, and planting of fruit trees) can contribute to job creation and encourage participation of local residents, thus improving their incomes. In addition, establishment of a project foundation, including education, training, and a national forest inventory, would help those projects be sustainable in the long-term.

South Korea started to actively participate in the ODA project across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, CIS countries, and Latin America as it transitioned from a country receiving developmental aid to a donor country. As more and more recipient countries are looking into the e-government model of South Korea, a new approach to the Korean model is being investigated. Various promotions were made, ranging from the implementation of the e-government ODA project, review of its feasibility to evaluation of the results. In order to improve and maximize performance management OD projects, it is necessary to look into the analysis of its follow-up results. In this study, practical performance management and policy implications were explored, focusing on the e-government ODA project. In particular, a case study analysis was attempted with focus on the Nigerian e-government project promoted as part of the project. It focused on Korea's e-government linkage process, implementation procedures and strategies applied when establishing the e-government master plan and suggested the necessity of an approach suitable for new environmental changes. In terms of sustainability of the ODA project, it is necessary to build a Korean e-government model that reflects the new intelligence information technology.
