5 PART I. KOICA & SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM Part I KOICA & SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM KOICA and the Training Program Founded on April 1991, the Korea International Cooperation Agency is a government agency that maximizes the efficacy of Korea s grant aid programs for developing countries through the implementation of its government s grant aid and technical cooperation programs. Under the motto Making a better world together, KOICA is supporting partner countries to achieve Millennium Development Goals and to promote equitable and sustainable development in these countries. Less than a half century ago, Korea was among the world s most impoverished nations. However, it achieved rapid economic development in a short duration of time and has even become a member of the OECD. As a country that overcame poverty and attained stature, we believe our most valuable asset is our own experience. Reflecting on our own trials and challenges, we have learned that country ownership of the development is essential for success. Therefore, we seek to offer assistance in line with the development priorities of partner countries and to empower our partners. In order to empower a country s capacity for development, Human Resource Development (HRD) is critical. HRD has been a key factor behind the success of Korea s own development. As a country where natural resources were scarce and investment capital was lacking, it was through the expansion and upgrade of human resources that Korea was able to escape from the vicious cycle of poverty and underdevelopment. Therefore, Korea presents a powerful example of how capacity building through Human Resource Development can push the development process forward. For this reason, KOICA has been providing various training programs focused on HRD. Course Information 5
