Abstract

Korea has achieved economic, social, and political development in a short period of time with the support from other countries. Now that Korea is a member of the OECD, she is making great efforts to eradicate the global poverty by expanding ODA volume and sharing Korea's development experience. This lecture will talk about ODA's policies, organizations, and strategies that share Korea's experience including Korea’s Saemaul Movement ODA.
