MAGAZINE KOICA : On Air | KOICA at 35: Development Cooperation Through the Eyes of Field Veterans

Over the past 35 years, KOICA has taken on countless challenges and driven meaningful change through development cooperation around the world.

In this edition of MAGAZINE KOICA : On Air, three KOICA veterans with extensive field experience share their stories about KOICA’s past, present, and future.

Drawing on their firsthand experiences with a wide range of KOICA projects—including the Korea-Philippines Friendship Hospital, an emergency medical center in Cameroon, and the National Museum of the Democratic Republic of the Congo—they highlight one essential message: at the heart of development cooperation are people.

They also share their insights on how KOICA can carry forward the field experience and expertise it has accumulated over the years and discuss the direction KOICA should take amid the rapidly changing ODA landscape.
