OECD 국가들의 ODA 효과성 영향 결합조건 분석

Identifying the Combinations of the Variables Affecting ODA Effectiveness in OECD Countries: Application of QCA

Since Korea became a member of OECD DAC member countries in 2010, Korean government has been increasing the size of ODA over time to a significant degree to which it has reached 0.16% of GNI (Gross National Income) and three thousand billion Korean won (Korean currency), which is equivalent to approximately 3 billion US dollars as of 2018. It is expected that this tendency of increase in ODA size also continues to go on worldwide as OECD DAC has highly recommended each DAC member country to increase its ODA size to 0.7 % of GNI, respectively. Against this background, based on the assumption that ODA projects should be effectively formulated, implemented, monitored and evaluated from the beginning to end, this paper attempts to discover the combinations of the configurations associated with the effective management of ODA projects in OECD DAC member countries, with special reference to policy-related variables, and to put forward policy implications for Korea to be able to ameliorate the existing ODA policy governance. The research methodology employed in this analysis is QCA (Qualitative Comparative Analysis). One of the main findings in this analysis is that ODA projects can be effectively implemented in a situation where high level of efficiency in government spending, a high level of transparency in policy-making system, and low-level of public funds diversion are ensured.
