Action Plan on the last day to develop practical measures to apply the
knowledge, technology and experience to your worksite.

Appendix 1.

INTRODUCTION OF KOICA

is a development cooperation agency of the Republic of Korea

which was established in 1991. KOICAs 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.

KOICA Fellowship Program

Human Resource Development (HRD) has been one of the most important factors
in Koreas 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 Koreas 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 KOICAs 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.

and in Korean it means seed () 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 Koreas development experience. The programs are designed to
