Analysis on the Policy Implementation System and Effects of the Korean Official Development Aid

This inquiry researches on the recent issues of the effects of official development aid(ODA) and its problems vis-a'-vis the aid management system and ways of providing foreign aid. Among controversies and debates are inefficiencies of ODA, petty project implementation due to many recipients, lack of systematic aid contents, lack of consensus on the aid direction and scope, and ineffective management system. Korea needs to increase the ODA/GNI rate to 0.1% by the year 2009 as the member of OECD. For the Korea’s effective ODA program, a selective application of foreign aid in a matter of the optimal combination of multilateral-bilateral assistance and grants-loans is the better policy option. South Korea needs to establish a foreign assistance governance network in a way that facilitates cooperative partnership and integration with the international institutions, international non-governmental organizations, and multinational corporations. In that nutshell, an establishment of the governance network among the international actors are essential. For the efficiency, Korea must formulate and implement aid policies on the basis of aims and purposes, rather than types, of ODA.
