Part I
KOICA & SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) was founded as a government agency on April 1, 1991, to maximize the effectiveness of Korea’s grant aid programs for developing countries by implementing the government’s grant aid and technical cooperation programs.
In the past, development cooperation efforts were focused on meeting the Basic Human Needs (BHNs) of developing countries and on fostering their Human Resources Development (HRD).
However, the focus has now shifted to promoting sustainable development, strengthening partnerships with developing partners, and enhancing the local ownership of beneficiaries.
Additionally, global concerns such as the environment, poverty reduction, gender mainstreaming, and population have gained significant importance among donor countries.
Due to the continuously changing trends in development assistance efforts and practices, KOICA is striving to adapt to these changes by using its limited financial resources effectively on areas where Korea has a comparative advantage.
Korea’s ODA Framework
Official Development Assistance (ODA) is composed of grants or concessional loans, which are provided to developing countries with the purpose of promoting economic development and welfare.
Korea’s ODA is classified into three areas: 1) bilateral aid (grant aid & technical cooperation), 2) bilateral loans, and 3) financial subscriptions and contributions to international organizations (multilateral).
Korea's Experience and KOICA's Program for Human Resources Development
Human Resource Development (HRD) has been the most important factor in Korea's escape from the vicious cycle of poverty and underdevelopment that had existed for many decades. With scant natural resources, HRD played a vital role in modern Korea's development. Clearly, Korea has emerged as an exemplary showcase of national development powered by human resources development.
From its own development experience, Korea came to fully recognize the significance of HRD, specifically in regards to Korea's collaboration with other developing countries. With much experience and know-how in HRD, Korea can contribute greatly to the international community by sharing its unique development experience with other nations.
Since its establishment in 1991, KOICA has supported a variety of international cooperation programs for HRD, mainly in project-type aid form focusing on education and vocational training with a focus in building a foundation for HRD.
The training and expertise-sharing programs help our partner countries build administrative and technical expertise in both the public and private sectors. In order to share experience at the grassroots level, under the name of World Friends Korea, KOICA dispatches Korea Overseas Volunteers to provide services in the fields such as education, regional development, computer science, health care and nursing. Approximately 7,806 volunteers have been dispatched to 57 countries thus far.
Types of KOICA Training Programs
KOICA offers five major types of training programs:
1. Country Training Program
Tailored programs that are specifically designed for an individual partner country
2. Regular Training Program
Programs that are open to any interested partner countries
3. Special Training Program
Programs that are temporarily available owing to particular commitments of the Korean as well as partner governments
4. Joint Training Program
Programs conducted in partnership with international organizations and other agencies
5. Scholarship Program
KOICA's Scholarship Program
With a mission to nurture talented students from developing countries, KOICA invites high-caliber students from developing countries and helps them gain professional and systematic knowledge that will play a key role in their home country’s development.
To accomplish this mission, KOICA has been operating master’s degree courses with leading Korean universities in the fields of economics, trade, women’s empowerment, rural development, etc.
In particular, this program has significantly strengthened the relationships between Korea and the students’ home countries. Students, who have been given an
opportunity to see Korea’s experience in poverty reduction and socio-economic
development, will gain a deeper understanding of Korea and contribute to the future social, political and economic ties between the two nations.
From 1997 to 2013, the program has assisted a total of 1,854 students through 92 courses. In addition, as of 2014,290 participants will participate in 16 master’s degree programs at 16 Korean universities.

Read Carefully before you apply
Changes in other natural and living environments may affect your health as leaving your
home country. Among the trainees who have ever entered the country; their physical
condition has fallen sharply, resulting in cases where they are hospitalized or had to return
home earlier without being able to complete the program. In order to prevent such situation,
we apply and judge the standard that does not interfere with the long-term study through the
health screening when selecting trainees; we comprehensively judge the applicant's health
eligibility based on the result of the medical examination.
must state it in the Medical Questionnaire because there are some diseases that are
exacerbated by the environment even if it is currently cured. If you do not report the exact
details, you may not be able to claim your insurance or receive medical assistance. Besides,
you might be sent back to your home country or end up returning your living expenses,
travel expenses, etc. to us.
Korea may have higher medical costs than your home country. According to Korea's
insurance system, 20% of medical expenses are mandatory deductibles by law; which often
is covered by the participants themselves. Therefore, we would like to recommend for those
who are under medical treatment due to illness, those who need regular medical
examinations, and those who are receiving outpatient treatment for tooth problems such as
