Message from the President
KOICA has contributed to
the alleviation of poverty in develop-
ing countries and to the reinforcement
of Korea’s public diplomacy based on
its superior expertise in development
cooperation as Korea’s leading aid or-
ganization.
We ask for your continued support
and encouragement so that we can
emerge as a widely recognized
and trusted organization both
at home and abroad.
5
KOICA has risen as Korea's leading ODA organization that takes initiative in international development coop-
eration through continued progress since its inception in 1991. Our brand power, networks of both human and
material resources in Korea and beyond, and expertise in development cooperation(planning and execution
capabilities fulfilling international aid standards, etc.) accumulated over the past 27 years have contributed
to the alleviation of poverty in developing countries and to the reinforcement of Korea's public diplomacy.
The Moon Jae-in administration launched in 2017 has placed a focus on the pursuit of integrated, systematic,
and efficient ODA and on the promotion of citizen diplomacy, public diplomacy, and cooperative diplomacy
geared towards peace, democracy, and human rights. In line with the government's steps, KOICA established
the management policy “Back to the Basics” aimed at pushing ahead with ODA projects that can contribute
to the realization of “citizen diplomacy centered on the wellness of people”, “public diplomacy that touches
the lives of other members of the international community”, and “cooperative diplomacy that advances the
achievement of the SDGs in developing countries”.
In December 2017, the KOICA Innovation Committee was launched, and it specified the Ten Innovation Tasks,
including the commitment to the realization of the universal values of peace, human rights, democracy, and
gender equality; the establishment and implementation of aid strategies in parallel with government policies;
the cultivation of global professionals; and the creation of quality jobs.
The year 2017 was all the more significant in that Korea received the results of its second peer review con-
ducted after joining the OECD Development Assistance Committee(DAC). The OECD DAC member countries
gave Korea high evaluations for its growth from the world's poorest country into a donor country boasting
striking economic and democratic progress, while also shedding light on a wide range of challenges the nation
faces, such as the need to reform the ODA management system and improve development effectiveness.
We will remain dedicated to faithfully executing improvements recommended by OECD DAC peer reviews and
reaching out to various developing countries that seek to draw on Korea's experience and knowledge through
cooperation. We ask for your continued support and encouragement to rise as an organization respected and
trusted by all both within Korea and beyond.

We staged the C-Day(Creative Day) event for the five teams of the
second generation of Creative Technology Solutions(CTS) organized
by D.CAMP(a youth startup foundation set up by the banking indus-
try) on April 11, 2017. The event featured the appointment ceremony
for the five CTS Advisory Committee members and the presentation
on the business trip outcomes of the five teams(Mand.ro, GloryBio-
Technologies Corp., Spacewalk, Vuno Korea, and Lumir). We plan to
stage more events on a continual basis to help CTS companies set
the right direction forward and achieve progress.

We staged the 2017 Global ODA Participation Strategy Presentation on January 17, 2017, at the International Conference Room of the Korea
Chamber of Commerce and Industry(KCCI) in association with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The presentation was attended by more than
500 employees from over 300 SMEs and startups. At the presentation, KOICA's project plans and ODA participation methods for 2017 were
introduced, and corporations including CJ and BJ Power shared their experiences of taking part in development cooperation projects. The
heads of overseas KOICA offices from 15 countries also flew in for the occasion and provided one-on-one consultations catering to the
individual needs of each corporation on site. We plan to make this presentation an annual event for corporations to gain access to useful
ODA information and pertinent resources on a regular basis.

DAC in 2010 and received its first peer review in 2012. Representatives of
the US and New Zealand came to Korea on behalf of the DAC member coun-

The ODA Library, aimed at spreading knowledge on development coopera-

tion, was relocated from the Headquarters Building to the first floor of the
Training Center to increase accessibility and ensure the convenience of the
public and trainees from developing countries. It reopened after remodel-
ing on September 1, 2017. It is the nation's only library dedicated to ODA-
related information and houses a wide range of books about development
cooperation, periodicals, and KOICA publications to cater to the needs of
diverse visitors. We will focus our resources on upgrading the library's col-
lection and offering better services to help the public, those working in the
field of development cooperation, and trainees from developing countries

KOICA’s Four Directional Policies and Performance
In February 2016, KOICA was re-designated from “a public
organization other than a public corporation or quasi-gov-
ernment organization” to a market-oriented quasi-govern-
ment organization, a change requiring a more stringent set
of standards for operations and outcome management. As
such, we established the Mid- and Long-Term Management
Goals(2017-2021) for the next five years to solidify our man-
agement foundation as a quasi-government organization.
Our new management goals were built to reflect in a bal-
anced manner our roles as an aid organization, such as the
achievement of the SDGs and the improvement of the self-
reliance of developing countries, and our responsibilities as
a public organization, such as the promotion of co-growth
with diverse private-sector partners including CSOs and
corporations, customer satisfaction, management system
innovation, and sustainable management.
In line with this change, we set our original purpose of
establishment as our mission and “contributions to the
achievement of the SDGs” as our vision and specified the
four strategic goals for the realization of our vision based
on the needs and perspectives of our customers, includ-
ing developing countries, the Korean government, and the
people of Korea.

KOICA Project Types
Improvement of Capabilities to Fulfill SDGs
We are building up our capabilities to accomplish the SDGs by gearing our
project implementation system towards on-site needs and standardizing per-
formance indicators for projects related to the SDGs. We downsized the or-
ganization at the headquarters and increased the number of staff members
dispatched to overseas offices to better cater to the needs on site. We also
focused on the selection and concentration of projects in priority areas of CPS
in priority partner countries and laid a foundation to objectively measure our
contributions to the achievement of the SDGs by developing and applying 592
standard performance indicators across different areas to new projects.

KOICA’s Strategies and Performance by Sectors
KOICA's Strategy for Major Sectors
Education
We have set “Inclusive Development through Quality
Education” as our vision in the education sector and
pursued the three strategic goals of “quality educa-
tion enhancing academic achievement”, “inclusive
education for the underprivileged”, and “vocational
and technical education for capacity-building for the future”. Our aim
is to strengthen the educational systems of developing countries and
thereby contribute to the protection of the right to receive education of
all people. The key programs include the program to enhance students'
basic learning abilities and teachers' competencies; the program to pro-
vide tailored education for women, the disabled, and those isolated from
formal schooling; the program to improve accessibility for education in
disaster-stricken and conflict-affected regions; and the program to rein-
force vocational and technical education systems and create a model for
advanced vocational and technical education.
Health
Our strategic goals for the health sector are the pro-
vision of basic healthcare services of high quality and
the commitment to achieving universal health cover-
age to help all humanity, including those in develop-
ing countries, lead healthy and dignified lives. The
major target groups are those in developing countries vulnerable to dis-
ease, such as women, children, female teenagers, and the disabled. We
are providing support for the improvement of potable water quality and
hygiene, the expansion of access to comprehensive nutrition services,
and the provision of high-quality MNCH services and healthcare services
for youth as well as disease prevention and treatment services.
Public Administration
We are well aware that the prerequisite for the sus-
tainable socio-economic development of developing
countries is the establishment of sound governance
and are striving to lay a foundation that enables the
co-growth of democracy and economic development. The strategic
goals we set for governance are the improvement of the effectiveness of
administrative services, the accountability of political and administrative
systems, and the inclusiveness of laws and institutions. We are working
hard to ultimately realize “peaceful and inclusive societies” and “demo-
cratic governance” as specified in SDG 16.
Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries
The supply and demand imbalance of agricultural,
forest, and marine products due to a drastic increase
in population, urbanization, and climate change
poses a threat to food security and economic devel-
opment and thus must be resolved to ensure sus-
tainable growth. We have focused on expanding agricultural productivity
and the value chain by solidifying the agricultural production base, dis-
seminating advanced agricultural techniques, and reinforcing agricultural
marketability to help achieve the SDGs, including the eradication of fam-
ine and poverty, the alleviation of inequality, the fight against climate
change, and the conservation of marine resources and land ecosystems.
We also engage in projects to advance sustainable rural development
aimed at reinforcing the competencies of rural communities and their
residents including women, improving road networks and toilet facili-
ties, and ultimately enhancing the living conditions in rural communities.
We provide support for fortifying their capabilities to respond to climate
change, promoting eco-friendly agricultural practices to conserve and
restore local ecosystems, and improving related policies and institutions
to ensure the efficient use of agricultural, forest, and marine resources.
Technology, Environment and Energy
(Including Water, Energy and
Transportation)
In a bid to contribute to the achievement of the Paris
Agreement and SDGs, we have established mid-term
strategies for water supply, energy, transportation,
and technological innovation and have systematically pushed ahead with
a range of related ODA projects. We also released the five-year imple-
mentation strategies in 2016, which have been applied to the entire proj-
ect process from planning to execution and assessment. The strategy for
water supply, aimed at ensuring water security and disaster prepared-
ness in response to climate change, is designed to provide multifaceted
aid to effectively manage water, water resources, sanitation, and disas-
ters using Korea's superior technology and achieve co-growth with our
partner countries. As the energy sector is the key to the reduction of
carbon emissions, the strategy for energy focuses on the promotion of
eco-friendly energy sources, including renewable energy, the improve-
ment of energy efficiency, and the expansion of access to affordable
energy for the disadvantaged. The strategy for transportation is de-
signed to provide aid for the expansion of transportation access and the
establishment of an eco-friendly, safe transportation system to help our
partner countries achieve sustainable and inclusive socio-economic de-
velopment, realize balanced development, and create new economic and
job opportunities for the underserved, while assisting KOICA's transpor-
tation projects to serve as a catalyst for advancing further development.
The strategy for technological innovation aims to reinforce developing
countries' capabilities for technological innovation. Thus, it provides sup-
port for the cultivation of specialists for technological R&D in our partner
countries, the expansion of their research infrastructure, and the estab-
lishment of related policies, while also assisting to promote technological
startups, academic-industrial cooperation, and innovative clusters based
on the outcomes of technological innovation for industrial advancement.
The establishment of the mid-term strategy for urban development is
currently under way, with an aim to create inclusive and people-oriented
cities and residential areas through implementing sustainable urban de-
velopment plans, distributing public goods for inclusive urban develop-
ment, and bringing multiple sectors together to ensure safe and resilient
urban planning.
KOICA's Strategy for Cross-Cutting Issues
Gender Equality
With the launch of the UN SDGs, the international
community formed a consensus that gender equal-
ity is a prerequisite for not only the elevation of
women's status but also the accomplishment of uni-
versal development cooperation goals. The Korean
government has also focused on protecting human rights, promoting
the public's engagement, and providing support for the underprivileged
based on its Policy Tasks(“respect for labor” and “fair society with no
discrimination including gender inequality”) and Priority Tasks for Gov-
ernment Innovation(governance centered on social values). We have
highlighted the importance of gender equality with a focus on peace,
human rights, and democracy as the Ten Innovation Tasks and remain
dedicated to holding fast to a gender-sensitive perspective throughout
the entire process of each project. We also strive to mainstream a gen-
der perspective to achieve gender equality as part of the SDGs and as a
cross-cutting issue.
Human Rights
With the launch of the SDGs – an initiative geared
towards ensuring that 'No one left behind', the inter-
national community is focusing on the importance
of a human rights-based approach and develop-
ment effectiveness centered on the human rights
principles of participation, equality and nondiscrimination, and account-
ability. Korea is also remaining sensitive to the issue with the Moon Jae-
in administration announcing its plan to reflect social values on public
21
organizations and establish the Masterplan for National Human Rights
Policies for Corporations and Individuals. In response to this move, we
formed the Task Force for KOICA's Human Rights Management System
Establishment in 2018, through which we are striving to lay a foundation
for human rights management, provide human rights management edu-
cation, and implement human rights mainstreaming projects.
Environment
The international community is making preparations
for the start of the New Climate Regime in 2020 by
coming up with detailed implementation guidelines
to comply with the Paris Agreement that was ad-
opted by 195 countries to combat climate change
and officially took effect in November 2016. The New Climate Regime
engages not only developed countries but also developing countries, and
donor countries are required to provide support for developing countries
to foster their capabilities to respond to climate change and reduce car-
bon emissions.
We are striving to contribute to developing countries' efforts to com-
bat climate change with the Mid-Term Strategy to Respond to Climate
Change(2016-2020). This strategy aims to reduce greenhouse gas emis-
sions, resolve climate change-induced problems such as water and food
shortages, and thereby improve the quality of life in developing coun-
tries. We set the three strategic goals of “the provision of technologies to
respond to climate change”, “the reinforcement of related competence”,
and “the improvement of access to climate finance”, and these goals are
serving as the guidelines for the planning, execution, and evaluation of
KOICA's climate change projects. We signed the agreed minutes for the
Project for the Establishment of the Green Building, Smart Grid R&D
Platform and Master Plan of the Water-energy R&D Platform(2017-2020/
USD 8 million) with Morocco's Ministry of Energy, Mines, Water & Sus-
tainable Development and the Renewable Energy Research Institute at
the 22nd session of the Conference of the Parties(COP22) held in Mar-
rakesh, Morocco. The signing ceremony of the agreed minutes held at
COP22 provided the chance for us to share information about our proj-
ects responding to climate change with the international community.
* KOICA's strategy of environment is mainly dealt with climate change response.

We constructed an airport and a harbor and offered pertinent pol-
icy advice in the transportation sector and reinforced the com-
petence of the nation's hospitals and universal healthcare in the
water supply and sanitation sector. We also focused on developing
human resources through improving the quality of education in the
education sector while striving to develop rural communities and
increase their incomes and awareness on innovation in agriculture,
forestry and fisheries.
We have conducted the program-based approach(PBA) project
to aid Cambodia's Health Equity Fund(HEF) in cooperation with
diverse donor countries and international organizations such
as the World Bank, the Australian Department of Foreign Af-
fairs and Trade, and Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau(KfW). This
project provides medical expenses for the destitute and the
underserved(disabled people and orphans) to receive necessary
healthcare services. We are contributing to the reduction of socio-
economic inequality and disparities by establishing a system that
provides access to state healthcare facilities for the most vulner-
able and disadvantaged groups. We also created Service Delivery
Grants aimed at increasing the number of public healthcare facili-
ties and improving the quality of healthcare services.

Eradicating Poverty through
Economic Development
National Development Goals
The government of Sri Lanka announced the poverty eradication
plan spearheaded by the President and the 1,500-day economic
development plan led by the Prime Minister in 2016. Based on
these plans, the government is working to reinforce the nation's
export competitiveness, develop the northern and eastern regions,
carry out the intensive development of two economic develop-
ment regions, establish transportation infrastructure, and improve
its ICT platform with the goals of creating one million jobs, increas-
ing income, developing rural communities, and expanding the mid-
dle class. At the same time, the government is striving to accelerate
the construction of basic infrastructure and new cities, fortify man-
ufacturing industries, foster trained professionals, cultivate export
companies, and ultimately raise the nation's potential growth rate.
KOICA’s Priority Assistance Strategy and
Aid Amount in 2017
We provided KRW 9.1 billion (KRW 1.3 billion for country coopera-
tion program and KRW 7.8 billion for global program) to Sri Lanka
in 2017 to bring its national development goals into reality. We
contributed to job creation by reinforcing technical and vocational
training and expanding higher education in science and technol-
ogy. We also focused on building transportation infrastructure for
economic development, economic exchanges between regions
and social inclusion. We constructed water-supply and drainage
facilities and provide clean water to areas suffering from water
shortage. We concentrated on creating more jobs and income for
local residents, achieving balanced growth and strengthening the
nation's integrated waste management capacity.

properly. We provided a total of USD 3.2 million to reinforce Sri
Lanka's capacity in forensic criminal investigation. Through this
project, we introduced digital and gene analysis equipment and
transferred techniques by dispatching Korean experts and offering
invitational training, thereby contributing significantly to strength-

More than 40% of Senegal's population live at or below the pov-
erty line, and the nation's human development index ranks 162nd
among 188 countries as of 2016. The government of Senegal es-
tablished the Plan Senegal Emergent(PSE) 2014-2018, a compre-
hensive economic development plan, to rise as the hub of West
Africa. In accordance with PSE, Senegal has engaged in activities
to create wealth and jobs, bring changes to the economic struc-
ture for greater social inclusiveness, enhance the wellness of its
people, resolve inequality, reinforce national security, achieve sta-
bility, improve governance, protect human rights and freedom, and
strengthen the legal system with an aim to achieve an annual eco-
nomic growth rate of 7.3% by 2019.

Agriculture is Senegal’s core industry and is responsible for 17%
of the nation’s GDP. This industry provides livelihoods for 75% of
the nation’s population. Rice is the staple food of Senegal. How-
ever, only 40% of total rice for consumption is sourced locally,
and the rest is imported. As such, the government of Senegal
is pushing ahead with the new agricultural development initia-
tive, Programme d’Accélération de la Cadence de l’Agriculture
Sénégalaise(PRACAS), designed to increase rural household in-
comes and ensure food security. In line with this initiative, we have
focused on the improvement of the value chain by expanding ir-
rigation facilities, developing new varieties of rice, and establishing
an agricultural technical school, while also nurturing agricultural
specialists, networking farmers and related organizations, cultivat-
ing cooperatives, and providing support for post-harvest proce-
dures such as milling.

The government of Colombia is focusing its resources on achieving
social equality and reinforcing its national competitiveness under
the National Development Plan 2014-2018 established in 2014.
This plan pursues the narrowing of the gap between different re-
gions and the eradication of poverty through rural development,
while also strengthening the productivity and competitiveness of
SMEs to ensure sustainable growth. In particular, the government
is exerting its best effort to put an end to civil conflict and establish
peace after striking a peace deal with the rebels in 2016.

in 2017 to help the nation reach its national development goals
of achieving social equality and improving national competitive-
ness. For the former, we focused on narrowing the gap between
different regions by expanding our pilot project to support the
most vulnerable groups in rural communities. For the latter, we
conducted various projects to foster human resources for SMEs,

velopment and macro-economic stability to eradicate poverty.
Azerbaijan is striving to advance into a knowledge-based economy
centered on human resource development, achieve a per capita
GDP of USD 13,000, raise the annual non-oil contribution to GDP
to 7%, reach per capita exports of USD 1,000 in non-oil sectors,
resolve economic inequality between different regions, and gradu-
ally increase the minimum wage that currently stands at 60% of
the average monthly wage.
KOICA’s Priority Assistance Strategy and
Aid Amount in 2017
In 2017, we provided about KRW 0.8 million (KRW 0.8 billion for
global program) to Azerbaijan and contributed to the achievement
of its national development goals in telecommunications, water
supply and sanitation, public administration, and local develop-
ment. We focused on establishing infrastructure and cultivating
high-caliber professionals in telecommunications, raising the qual-
ity of water resource management and improving sanitation in un-
derserved communities in terms of water supply and sanitation,
enhancing the efficiency and transparency of the public sector by
improving public administration systems and productivity, and nar-

Humanitarian Assistance
Humanitarian assistance refers to assistance activities aimed
at saving lives from man-made and natural disasters, preserving and
protecting human dignity, and reinforcing the capabilities
to prevent and respond to such disasters.
Basic Direction for 2017
We provide humanitarian support in a pro-
mpt and effective manner in accordance with
the Korean government's strategy and policy
decisions made by the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs when disasters occur overseas. Taking
into consideration the scale and location of
the crisis and identifying the optimal type of
relief, we provide cash and goods, dispatch

with NGOs, or take other related measures.
In 2017, we provided cash and goods to 34
countries and conducted 16 public-private
cooperation projects for humanitarian sup-
port through nine NGOs. Furthermore, we
supported training of KDRT members and
the management and inspections of relief
equipment, helping them remain fully pre-
pared for disasters.

Provision of Cash and Goods
We provided cash and goods equivalent to

for 46%, followed by Africa at 31%. Support for
both regions was focused on chronic disasters
such as national conflicts, food crises, and ci-
vilian displacements, while support for Asia,
Central and South America, and Europe clearly
showed that the Korean government remains
sensitive to the global need for humanitarian
support. By crisis type, support for chronic
disasters(national conflicts and civilian dis-
placements) ranked first at 88 %, followed by
support for natural disasters(forest fires, land-
slides, typhoons, flooding, etc.) and infectious
diseases at 9% and for other humanitarian sup-
port projects at 3%. Cash support totaled USD
61.97 million and goods support stood at USD
1.09 million. Cash support accounted for 98%
because we provided indirect support mostly
through international organizations with ex-
pertise in different areas of disaster relief as
the accessibility of disaster-stricken countries
is quite limited.
Operation of KDRT
We provided support for KDRT to remain
fully prepared for emergencies by inspect-

basis and maintaining them in optimal con-

Basic Direction for 2017
Strategy
In 2017, we focused on resolving cross-
cutting global issues(poverty, gender equal-
ity, climate change, human rights, etc.) and
achieving the SDGs by capitalizing on the
expertise and networks of international or-
ganizations mainly in countries marginalized
from bilateral-approach-based ODA, vulner-
able countries, and conflict-stricken regions.
Overall Evaluation
In 2017, we continued our close cooperation
with the five priority partner organizations of
UNDP(for poverty eradication, governance, ru-
ral development, etc.), WFP(for food security),
UNICEF(for children's education and health),
WHO(health), and UNHCR(humanitarian aid
and refugee support), while also capitalizing
on the expertise of other international organi-
zations, in line with the Korean government's
strategic direction for multilateral cooperation.
In particular, to support countries marginal-
ized from bilateral aid and to share in the
international community's efforts to resolve
cross-cutting issues, including the achieve-
ment of the SDGs, we increased projects to
address global issues such as refugee sup-
port, in addition to the Korean government's
areas of interest(education, health, and rural
development), and to reinforce education for

and the competitiveness of female children

Aid Disbursements in 2017
In 2017, we provided about KRW 39 billion for
18 projects conducted jointly with 12 inter-
national organizations to share in the inter-
national community's efforts to achieve the
SDGs. These projects mostly coincided with
our priority sectors of education; health;
agriculture, forestry and fisheries(food se-
curity); governance; and the international
community's universal values(human rights,
women, etc.)
Major Outcomes
Strategic cooperation for the
improvement of partnerships with
international organizations
We invited experts from major international
organizations and brought them together at
a conference to share their future strategic
directions and opinions on ways to manage
projects, while also promoting the under-
standing of KOICA's staff in charge of mul-

In a bid to promote the understanding of those in their 20s-30s residing
in non-Seoul areas who were found to have low awareness on KOICA
in the ODA and KOICA Awareness Survey over the past five years, we
staged the KOICA Bus Talk Concert in Busan, Jeonju, and Incheon during
Development Cooperation Week in 2017. This talk concert consisted of
presentations on KOICA's programs designed to help youth advance into
the world, special lectures from experts, and performances and worked
to improve the targets' understanding of ODA and KOICA by 143%. We
adopted the one-source-multi-use strategy to reach out to the public
through over 20 promotional channels at once to resolve information
asymmetry. We brought together nine pertinent departments of KOICA,
42 local universities, and 14 press organizations to make this talk concert
better cater to the needs of the residents of each location.

We also organized Arco Iris, a special exhibition about Central America,
which drew a total of 40,364 viewers from its opening date(May 25th).
Culinary culture experience programs, global citizenship education ses-

to this exhibition were also attended by 10,744 elementary, junior high,

Development cooperation photo exhibition
In celebration of Development Aid Day that falls on November 25th, we
staged the KOICA Photo Exhibition in collaboration with MJ Kim, widely
known as Paul McCartney's photographer, to raise the public's aware-
ness on development cooperation and share our achievements in a more
engaging manner. This exhibition ran for the six days from November 21
to 26, 2017, at Mapo Cultural Storage Site in Seoul under the theme of
“Stepping into the World off the Beaten Path” and displayed a total of 48
photos vividly portraying scenes of KOICA's on-site activities in Peru and
Sri Lanka. Each photo depicts the moving interactions between benefi-
ciaries, staff members, and volunteer workers of the 'MNCH Project in
Peru' and the 'Human Development Initiative through Empowerment and
Settlement Improvement in the Plantation Settlements in Sri Lanka', and
communicates messages of hope beyond aid. The exhibition drew over
50 visitors per day and more than 380 in total, and the exhibits were also
posted at the local KOICA Offices and on diverse promotional materials
to ensure a wider impact.
