ABSTRACT

This study is significant as it is Korea, according to an expert's opinion survey, that leads the third of "Asian and Pacific Decade of Disabled Persons" program, the program was established to identify optimal strategies for conducting Disability-Inclusive Development Cooperation projects funded through Official Development Assistance(ODA). Experts have said that the development cooperation projects currently promoted by the Korean government are limited because their approach is resulting in on-off events or those only providing temporary benefits, rather than securing long-term development gains. The following strategies are therefore, required for Korea to strengthen its Disability-Inclusive Development Cooperation projects. First, national support needs to be put in place to establish the concept of disability inclusion. Second, progressive efforts are crucial to improve the effectiveness of assistance in Disability-Inclusive Development Cooperation. Third, in order to develop and cultivate the potential capacities and self-help skills of recipient countries, human resource capability and leadership needs to be developed. Fourth, the support of private sector organizations experienced in successfully promoting Disability-Inclusive Development Cooperation is required, and to attract this support, governance for disability needs to be established. This study reviews the direction of Korea's Disability-Inclusive Development Cooperation projects and the impact of these four strategies.
