The OECD DAC has recommended the member countries to raise the ODA budget by 0.7% of GNI. Most of DAC's members, howver, have not reached at the target level, mainly due to global economic crisis, with some exceptions in Northern Europe countries. Korea has increased the ODA budget allocation dramatically, but she could not still meet even the level 0.3%, which is the average level of DAC countries. In terms of national budget operation, DAC country groups are classified as the international norm type and the self-economic dependence type. And then, this study analyzes the time trends of the ODA budget in Korea, comparing with DAC's members on the economic scale. By forecasting Korean ODA budgets by country-type classifications, the optimal size of Korean government's ODA budget is proposed and discussed.

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.

Firstly, our Technical and Vocational Education and Training(TVET) ODA currently uses 70% of its budget on short-term assistance project works without much consideration for continuity from one project to another. Secondly, TVET ODA budget is much too concentrated on hardware support, lowering impact compared to the amount invested. Lastly, there is a lack of research on the needs of recipient nation which leads to lowering effectiveness of TVET ODA. This Study analyzed the characteristics of Korea's TVET ODA through the statistical data analysis of ODA. This study's main focus is to recommend methods for Korean colleges to overcome tendencies and limitations of TVET within Korea's ODA. Colleges have advantages in training students to fit needs of the market and companies based on decades of experience colleges have on academic-industrial collaboration. Colleges can also transfer qualification verification systems to fit the recipient country and dispatch TVET related personnel to strengthen software support. Additionally, the post project evaluation and post job placement management capabilities of colleges can be actively used for post management of TVET projects. I hope that through this study, ways to increase participation of colleges in TVET ODA can be discussed in more variety.

우리나라는 2000년 수원국에서 공여국으로 전환 후 ODA 규모를 지속적으로 확대해 왔으며, 2018년 ODA 예산 규모는 약 3조 482억원으로 OECD DAC(개발원조위원회) 회원국 중 총액 기준 15위 규모로 성장했다. 우리나라의 국민총소득(GNI) 대비 ODA 비율은 0.15%(2018년)로, 우리나라는 2030년까지 GNI 대비 0.3%까지 ODA 예산규모를 확대하는 것을 목표로 하고 있다. 우리나라 하천·수자원 관련 국제개발협력 사업은 2007년 '라오스 메콩강변 종합관리사업'을 시작으로 현재까지 약 40건의 사업이 시행되었다. 시행된 사업중 90%(36건)가 중점협력국가(2016-2020)와의 협력사업이었으며, 24개의 중점협력국 중 물관리가 중점협력분야로 들어가 있는 국가는 17개국이나 그 중 8개국에서만 국제개발협력사업이 시행되었다. 라오스, 인도네시아, 캄보디아가 각각 6건, 필리핀 5건 등으로 일부 국가에 편중되어 국제개발협력사업이 추진되고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 그동안 하천·수자원 분야 국제협력사업이 전담기관 없이, 일부 공공기관이나 민간기업의 각각의 네트워크와 노하우에 의존하여 발굴되고 있기 때문이다. 사업을 추진하는 공공기관 및 민간기업이 각자의 네트워크를 활용하여 사업의 발굴부터 시행까지 추진함에 따라 사업추진에 따른 네트워크가 지속되지 않고 단발성으로 끝나는 경우가 많고, 해당 국가에 우선적으로 필요한 사업이 선정되는 것이 아닌 사업을 추진하는 기관의 특성에 맞게 발굴된 사업이 선정되어 왔다. 국제개발협력사업 발굴에서 가장 핵심적인 부분은 상대국가와의 네트워크를 구축하고, 지속적인 교류를 통해 해당 국가에 어떤 하천 및 수자원 관련 문제가 있는지 파악해서 우선적으로 필요한 사업을 제안하는 것이 중요하다. 또한 사업제안서를 수원국이 자체적으로 작성할 수 있는 역량이 부족한 경우가 대부분이기 때문에 우리나라의 사업을 추진하는 기관이 사업제안서를 작성해주고 수원국에서 검토하는 방식으로 사업제안서를 작성해야하는 한계점이 있다. 따라서, 하천분야 국제 협력 네트워크의 지속적인 관리 및 정기적인 하천사업 수요조사 및 구원국의 사업제안서 작성 지원을 위한 전담기관을 선정하여 국제협력사업 추진을 위탁함으로써 네트워크 및 노하우의 누적을 통한 해외사업의 발굴 및 지속가능성을 강화하는 것이 필요하다고 생각된다.

The purpose of this research is to find the cause of low degree of utilization of medical equipment that are provided as Official Development Assistance(ODA) and to suggest an effective medical equipment support system for ODA. This research analyzes the supporting process of the medical equipment as ODA in Kitengela Health Center in Kenya. As the result of analysis, it has been found that the following problems. 1) It was found that users was attended insufficient to demand medical equipment. 2) The determination of medical equipment request was inadequate. 3) It was appeared to be organized the compilation of the budget for purchases and operation of medical equipment 4) The improvement of procurement system of medical equipment was appeared to need. 5) It was appeared to need to build conditions for installation of medical equipment. 6) It was necessary to secure finance, to conduct periodic management training, and to ensure available human resources in management and maintenance in order to sustain the medical equipment management ability and it is encouraged to promote leadership in healthcare facility management. Finally, the theoretical and practical implications of this research are discussed.

The purpose of this study is to conduct an empirical analysis on the effect of aid proliferation on government spending on health by the recipient nations using panel data and acquire information on the direction of future ODA operations. In this study, calculated excessive foreign aid index with regard to the health sector of Sub-Sahara African nations and conducted an empirical analysis on the effect of aid fragmentation on government spending on health sector. The result of the analysis disclosed that aid fragmentation significantly reduced government spending on health. It is anticipated that such trend came from the mutual pursuit of profit between the attribute (the needs of the donor nation) of ODA projects after new businesses and the governments of recipient nations that want ODA funding. Because competitive and excessive supports in ODA projects induce distortion in the government budget operation of the recipient nations and thereby trigger disutility in ODA projects, Based on the result of the analysis, We proposed to incorporate a more comprehensive deliberation with regard to the capacity of the recipient nations as well as a need for the role of mediating body such as DAC.
