The purpose of this study was to explore the possibility of recruiting married immigrant women to participate in the Official Development Assistance (ODA) program. We used focus group interviews to understand their experiences with ODA, their intent to participate in the ODA, and the resources and barriers to ODA participation. The data were collected from 14 married immigrant women who were actively engaged in the labor force in Seoul and Gyunggi areas. Data were analyzed based on the thematic analysis method. Four themes were identified including the women's experiences, motivation, barriers, and resources for ODA participation. Out of the 14 women, three had participated in the ODA and were happy with the experiences. The rest of the women wanted to participate in the ODA that supported their home countries. The results also highlighted that these married immigrant women had capabilities including a strong desire to participate in vocational development and support from their families, but they also had barriers to overcome such as a lack of work capacity, child care burden, and difficulty forming relationships with Korean colleagues. Despite these barriers, they were motivated to participate in the ODA since it would be very meaningful for them to help their home country and to improve awareness of Korea and married immigrant women. It is important to develop vocational education programs for these women to enhance the work skills that are needed in the ODA.

This study aims to find out the better management plan for city master plannning as an ODA to accomplish the economic effect. For this study, the "Hai Phong New Town Development Project" and the "Modification of Hue City's Master Plan" were studied. The result of the case study shows that there was difference between the two projects which was the status of following projects. While those two projects were highly acclaimed, only Hue project had several projects. This is because of the understanding degree on ODA project of participants, the distinct characteristics of the recipient country; Vietnamese local and central government, and the difference of each project's main purpose. And the result of FGI shows that to accomplish economic effects of master planning project as ODA, the enthusiastic approach to find out following project from the beginning step of the master planning, the experience of project manager on ODA, the close association with the recipient country, and the positive support from the Koica especially, the local office were crucial.

Most research on Official Development Assistance (ODA) targeted the recipients, but this study examines the effect of ODA on the donor's exports to the recipient. To do this, a panel analysis was carried out with ODA and macroeconomic data on the United States and 33 other countries from 1999 to 2009. The results are summarized as follows: (1) The economic influence on the donor varies with the recipient's localization effort. (2) High-tech exports to the recipient are independent of ODA. (3) In medium-to-low-technology areas, ODA has a positive effect on exports to the recipient with low absorption efforts. (4) Both High-tech and LM-tech product exports decreases with the technological innovation efforts of recipients with high absorption efforts, while High-tech product exports only increases with that of recipients with low absorption efforts. These results indicate that a strategic approach for ODA program is more effective and useful to the donor's economy.

Objectives : This study presents comparison results of the correlations between ODA grants and health indicators among 23 countries in Asia. Methods : Data from 2005~2013 were collected through the World Development Indicator (WDI) provided by the World Bank (WB). The health-related variables used in this study included the maternal mortality ratio, infant mortality rate under five, infant mortality rate, incidence of tuberculosis, and prevalence of AIDS. Results : Based on the results, there were positive correlations between ODA grants and health indicators, which means that the overall ODA grants would drop when the health indicators improved. As for differences in the health indicators by income groups among the countries, there were differences in the maternal mortality ratio, infant mortality rate under five, infant mortality rate, and overall ODA grants. The maternal mortality ratio, infant mortality rate under five, and infant mortality rate were lower in the order of upper middle, lower middle, and poorest income countries. Conclusions : The findings raise a need for the integrated and horizontal development of Goals 4, 5 and 6 of MDGs in the ODA projects of health sector in the future.

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.

The purpose of this study was to draw policy implications for the development and expansion of Korea's forest ODA through investigating the perceptions of stakeholder on the fields that contributed the development of forestry in Korea and would have competitiveness in developing countries and priority fields for Korea's forest ODA. For this, the survey was conducted for 248 subjects from the general and expert stakeholder groups. Chi-square test in cross analysis, independent sample t-test, ANOVA and Duncan test were conducted to compare the difference of perceptions by group. The whole general and expert groups consider that 'forest conservation and rehabilitation' contributed to the development of Korea's forestry most and consider its global competitiveness most high. Comparing expert groups, ODA experts evaluated the competitiveness of 'capacity building for policies, institutions and research' higher than the forestry experts. For priority fields of Korea's forest ODA, general groups perceived 'management of CERs' and 'conservation of biodiversity' most important, showing the clear difference in perception compared to that of experts. In Conclusion, for the effective forest ODA of Korea, the effort to fill the gap between the general and expert groups needs to be made, as well as developing forestry capacity building programs to cope with the fields such as climate change adaptation and biodiversity conservation, which is newly required in a global society, in addition to using the past experience of forest rehabilitation in Korea. It will be useful for the rehabilitation of North Korea's forest in the future.

For analyzing the performance determinants of ODA projects in a technical and vocational education and training, this research analyzed the performance determinants of effectiveness representing the direct benefit and impact representing the long-term development effects of ODA project using FsQCA. As a result, the effectiveness of ODA project is achieved when relevance, sustainability and impact are high, or relevance, impact and efficiency are high. The impact of ODA project is achieved when relevance, sustainability and effectiveness are high, or relevance, effectiveness and efficiency are high. Two solutions for achieving effectiveness and two solutions for achieving impact show equifinality. The core factors for achieving effectiveness are relevance and impact, and the core factors for achieving impact are relevance and effectiveness. Also sustainability and efficiency are substitutability. A single causal variable can not have an effect on the ODA performance, but combined more than three causal variables can have an effect on the ODA performance. Therefore this research verified that collectives of causal variables rather than single causal variable should be considered to achieve the performance of ODA project in technical and vocational education and training.

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.
