In the past, deveopment cooperation efforts were focused on meeting the Basic Human Needs (BHNs) of deveoping countries and on fostering their Human Resources Deveopment (HRD). However, the focus has now shifted to promoting sustainabe deveopment, strengthening partnerships with deveoping partners, and enhancing the oca ownership of beneficiaries. Additionay, goba concerns such as the environment, poverty reduction, gender mainstreaming, and popuation have gained significant importance among donor countries. Due to the continuousy changing trends in deveopment assistance efforts and practices, KOICA is striving to adapt to these changes by using its imited financia resources effectivey on areas where Korea has a comparative advantage. In particuar, since Korea has the unique experience of deveoping from one of the poorest countries in the word to one of the most economicay advanced, this knowhow is an invauabe asset that heps KOICA to efficienty support the sustainabe socioeconomic deveopment of its partner countries.
