韓日における対ベトナム無償資金協力の比較: 事業評価を中心に

Comparison of Korea and Japan’s grant aid to Vietnam: Focusing on the Project Evaluation

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to identify similarities and differences in grant aid projects from KOICA and JICA, the development aid agencies of both Korea and Japan, and to derive the characteristics of the grant project. Based on the characteristics derived above, we will present the points that need to be improved in order to support Korea’s development in the future. Research design, data, and methodology: In this study, statistical data from international cooperative organizations such as the World Bank, OECD, DAC, JICA, and KOICA are used to closely compare the ODA policies of Korea and Japan. In particular, as a case study method, i will analyze the factors that determine the aid project to Vietnam after examining and comparing the efforts and cycles of JICA and KOICA’s grant aid projects, their evaluation methods and performance evaluation. Results: The findings suggest that in the insurance and medical fields, most of KOICA’s workplaces are related to the establishment of hospitals, and JICA’s is related to the maintenance and improvement of hospital equipment. In addition, JICA focuses on transportation and transportation infrastructure such as ports and roads, while KOICA focuses on public administration reform, capacity building, and technology and environmental energy. JICA also said that KOICA differs in the way it evaluates its work from one another, but both organizations are actively supporting to meet their respective development goals in line with the OECD DAC’s evaluation criteria. Implications: It can be said that JICA and KOICA are similar but completely different. However, for both organizations, SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), the goal of the international community, is the direction and strategy of support. It is especially notable that Vietnam, one of Southeast Asian countries, was cited as an example in this study, so the possibility and value of this study is that the results of this study can be applied to case studies in other Southeast Asian countries.
