Appendix 1.
INTRODUCTION OF KOICA
KOICA Fellowship Program
Human Resource Development (HRD) has been one of the most important factors
in Korea’s escape from the vicious cycle of poverty and underdevelopment which had
existed for many decades. With scarce natural resources, HRD played a vital role in
Korea’s development; thus, Korea has emerged as an exemplary showcase of national
development powered by HRD. From its own experience Korea came to fully
recognize the significance of HRD. With extensive experience and know-how in HRD,
Korea contributes greatly to the international community by sharing its unique
development experience with other countries.
The KOICA Fellowship Program is one of KOICA’s main projects to support partner
countries secure human resources for their development. The primary objective of the
Fellowship Program is to share important technical skills and knowledge as well as to
build capacities for sustainable socio-economic development. The program is
composed of a wide range of topics, including public administration, economic
development, science and technology, agriculture and health, etc. In order to meet the
changing needs of partner countries, KOICA always strives to renovate and improve
its Fellowship Programs.
is a development cooperation agency of the Republic of Korea
which was established in 1991. KOICA’s mission is to reduce
poverty, promote living standards and help realize sustainable, equitable and inclusive
development in developing countries. To accomplish its mission, KOICA has been
actively involved in enhancing developing countries’ socio-economic infrastructure and
institutions, providing the people of the developing world with opportunities for better
lives and improving their well-being.

Appendix 2.
KOICA FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM (CIAT)
KOICA has launched a brand-new name for
the KOICA Fellowship Program in order to
more effectively raise awareness about the
program among the public and its partner
countries.
In English, CIAT stands for Capacity Improvement and Advancement for Tomorrow
and in Korean it means “seed (씨앗)” with hopes to contributing in the capacity
development of individual fellows as well as the organizations and countries to which
they belong.
The CIAT Program provides participants with opportunities to gain first-hand
knowledge of Korea’s development experience. The programs are designed to enable
participants to apply what they have learned for the development of their home
countries. Since 1991, KOICA has offered about 4,255 courses to more than 69,981
participants from 172 countries.
