Enhancing Effectiveness of ODA Projects through Social Economy Approaches Utilizing Intellectual Property

(Purpose) The purpose of this study is to explore and present strategies for enhancing the effectiveness of ODA projects by ultimately contributing to job creation and income increase in developing countries through the use of social economy approaches utilizing South Korea's intellectual property. (Design/methodology/approach) To achieve this, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was applied to six experts with specialized knowledge in intellectual property, social economy and ODA. And sensitivity analysis was additionally performed. Through this, the priorities of projects that can enhance the effectiveness of ODA were analyzed. (Findings) The findings of this study indicate, first, that intellectual property and social economy are suitable for developing countries with higher income levels; second, as income levels increase, aid in the technology sector should be prioritized; and third, to establish a social economy in developing countries, it is necessary to provide support for labor costs at the initial stage of the project. (Research implications or Originality) This suggests that when providing aid to developing countries, it is necessary to identify projects that are suitable for the income level and economic conditions of the country.These insights highlight the necessity of going beyond mere financial assistance when establishing and implementing support policies for developing countries. It underscores the importance of carefully considering the unique characteristics, economic conditions, and areas of need for each country and region. Moreover, support through social economy approaches should not only aim for short-term achievements but also focus on long-term sustainability and independence. Such an approach can provide a more effective and sustainable solution to the varied social and economic issues faced by developing countries. Additionally, it is believed that more refined efforts and policy support are needed to utilize the abundant intellectual property produced in South Korea to aid developing countries. It is anticipated that academic research in this field will become more vigorously pursued in the future.
