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.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate, through case studies, the usefulness of utilizing local R&D centers under science and technology ODA programs. For the past few decades, advanced countries have supported ODA projects of developing countries, but there have been negative opinions regarding the results. Through a case study of the black pearl cultivation project between the Korea Institute of Ocean Science & Technology and Micronesia, this study explains the usefulness of actively utilizing Korean R&D centers established and operational in recipient countries. Although black pearl cultivation is not an ODA project, the case study offers valuable insights as it is operated in a similar form and thus highly applicable to future projects. Based on the case study, four implications were derived to ensure the successful operations of science and technology ODA projects in the future. First, there is a need to improve relevance by making use of the technological capacities of local R&D institutes to develop projects that reflect the needs of recipient and donor countries. Second, trust must be established with local communities over the long term in order to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of project operations. Third, the proportion of science and technology ODA projects must be expanded to acquire sustainability, and more support should be granted to ODA projects involving marine resources, which are an advantage for countries of Micronesia. Lastly, the locals should be offered employment opportunities and regular training programs to allow for the actual transfer of knowledge instead of mere techniques. The implications derived in this study will prove useful in pursuing science and technology ODA projects, especially with Micronesia.

It is essential that the evaluation of official development assistance (ODA) projects is conducted based on empirical research for the performance and improvement of the project. This study intended to quantitatively figure out the actual status and performance of ODA projects. The performance of the Rumpin Seed Source and Nursery Center project implemented by the KOICA was evaluated in items of relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, impact, sustainability, which are OECD Development Assistance Committee(DAC) evaluation criteria. From August 26, 2019 to August 29, 2019, a survey was conducted on 50 visitors and 54 stakeholders of the Rumpin Seed Source and Nursery Center. Through on-site survey, problems in the donation project and operation in Indonesia were identified and measures for improvement was grasped. As a result of the study, the value scored by OECD DAC evaluation criteria of the Rumpin Seed Source and Nursery Center project based on the Economic Development Cooperation Fund(EDCF) evaluation grade was evaluated as a very successful class in all items. The average score of the recognition question was 4.08 points for visitors and 4.08 points for stakeholders, and the average score for the satisfaction question was 4.37 points for visitors and 4.11 points for stakeholders, which were high overall in both groups. The main factor that affects the project awareness of the visitors was the fact that the Rumpin Seed Source and Nursery Center was created based on Korean technology, and it was confirmed that Indonesia's own items related to similar projects had a great influence on the project satisfaction. In the case of stakeholders, project support in Korea affected their recognition, and it was found that relevance, efficiency, effectiveness items had the greatest impact on the level of project satisfaction of stakeholders derived from the DAC individual evaluation results. Efforts are required to increase the main factors by reflecting the results of each item and to preserve and maintain the project. This study is significant in determining the performance of the ODA project based on empirical data, and it is believed that it can be used as basic data for supplementing and strengthening the project in the future.

우리나라는 원조를 받는 수원국에서 원조를 주는 공여국로 성장한 최초의 국가이며, 경제력 신장에 따라 국제사회에서의 국가 위상 역시 크게 높아 졌다. 한국에 대한 국제사회의 기여요구가 증가함에 따라, 우리나라는 2009년 경제협력개발기구(OECD) 개발원조위원회(DAC)에 가입하여 국제사회에서의 영향력을 확대하고 있다. 한국의 국제개발원조는 한국국제협력단(KOICA)을 통해 대부분 이루어지고 있으나, 그 범위가 넓어 실질적으로 농업부분의 원조는 2009년의 경우 250억 내외로 전체 지원금의 6.8-8.8% 미비한 실정이다. 따라서 농림수산식품부는 농업부문에 특성화된 국제협력사업을 추진함으로써, 첫째, 수혜국의 농업 농촌개발과 농가소득 증대에 따른 빈곤문제 해결은 물론, 둘째, 아국의 해외농업개발 및 해외농업자원 개발에 힘쓰고 있다. 이러한 기본방향은 우리정부가 해외농업개발 및 농업자원 확보의 중요성을 인식하여, 적극적인 민간참여하에 기업, 대학, 연구소 등의 컨소심엄 구성에 의한 사업추진을 유도함으로써 지원국과 수혜국 등 양국 모두의 이익을 추구하는데 목적이 있다. 따라서 동국대학교 ODA사업은 아시아 중점 협력국인 베트남의 달랏 (Dalat)지역을 대상으로 농업시설 및 기술지원 사업을 수행하고 있다. 베트남은 외국과의 경제협력에 노력을 기울이고 있으나, 현재까지 도 농간 심각한 경제적 불균형과 농촌빈곤 문제를 해결하지 못하고 있다. 그러나 베트남 달랏은 농업 환경여건이 원예 특용작물 생산에 적합한 지역이므로, 고부가가치 농산업의 특성화를 통한 베트남 농업 개선사업의 모델을 제시할 수 있는 적지이다. 본 사업은 베트남의 특성화된 고부가가치 작물 연구 및 생산지원, 한국 농기업과 연계한 베트남 원예 특용 농업유전자원의 지속적 확보와 이용, 국내 농산업관련기업의 해외시장 개발 등을 목표로 하고 있다. 이러한 협력과 지원으로 베트남의 경제적 기술적 발전과 경제구조의 회복을 유도하고, 도 농간의 균형발전을 통한 저개발국가의 경제발전모델을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 또한 한국의 해외 농업유전자원의 지속적 확보 및 이용, 대외 이미지 제고와 외교력 강화, 경제협력 강화와 국내 농산업 관련기업의 발전 및 해외 진출 확대, 국제회의 및 협상에서의 아국의 입지강화 등에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Today, through developing country's Official Development Assistance (ODA) project, Republic of Korea is giving help in establishing communication networks, furnishing PCs and etc, as a help of information base expansion. And to resolve digital divide between countries, Republic of Korea's IT service group dispatch business has also significantly contributed to enhance information application level of developing countries. The conclusion and suggestion of this study is as follow. It is obvious that utilization of information can be affected by capability improvement of developing country's informatization level. However, developing informatization strategy level and environment in long term wise will cause greater influence than to raise immediate informatization base level. Overall, settlement of long term digital divide seems possible when we elevate developing countries' informatization strategy level and environment.

As globalization, international cooperation has grown in importance. In accordance with this trend, Korea has been receiving high demands from international organizations about expanding the scale of Official Development Assistance(ODA) in line with its improved national status. In addition, in the economic aspect of Korea, the ODA project is expected to provide new growth opportunities in the mid- to long-term by promoting cooperation with developing countries. Uganda is an area with high strategic value due to good agricultural conditions and favorable geographical conditions. The poultry industry is a business that is generally carried out to the Ugandan, but due to economic problems such as initial investment cost, most of them have raised poultry on a small scale which is not enough for main income. This paper proposes the construction and operation plan of adapting to small poultry farms in the village-intensive type to sustainable income for residents in Uganda through ODA project in Korea's agricultural technology. The economic feasibility was analyzed from the long-term perspective when the initial construction cost was supported or not and the poultry species ratio was adjusted in terms of initial and operating costs. Economic analysis was performed using Net Present Value(NPV) method. As of after 10 years, when operating in the form of shifting kuroiler to layers, it was estimated to earn about 700,000 ugx more than when only kuroiler is raised, and it is able to reduce about 14 million ugx from the initial cost than when only raising layers. As of 20 years, the most profitables scenario was the breeding of 100 kuroilers and 400 layers methods. however, this case was anlayzed to be unsuitable for Uganda farmers, with initial costs more than three times higher than the shifting method of the kuroiler to layers. If the initial construction cost is supported by ODA project, the initial investment cost can be recovered in the first year with the shifting method, whereas raising only layers take two years to recoup the cost. In the meantime, when studying livestock industry in Uganda, it was examined by relying on statistical data, but this paper is meaningful in that it predicted how much it is economically effective based on field experience.
