Korea’s Official Development Assistance (ODA) Website Launched

Seoul--(뉴스와이어)--The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MOFAT) launched an English website of Official Development Assistance (ODA) of Korea (www.odakorea.go.kr/eng) on February 19 to provide information on the ODA policy of the Korean government, introduce Korea’s international development assistance, and strengthen cooperative ties with various international organizations including the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the World Bank and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

On this website, there are introductions on Korea’s development assistance to the international community including the history, policies, statistical data, and the bilateral and multilateral programs of Korea’s ODA. In particular, the website places emphasis on collecting public opinion from various visitors including civil societies, academic circles, research institutes and governments and people of recipient countries through message and consultation boards.

The ODA website is expected to help secure transparency in the ODA-related policy-making and implementation process, strengthen public relations and increase research activities. Moreover, it is expected that this website will make great contributions to promoting exchanges with the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the OECD, of which Korea is making efforts to become a member in 2010.
