ABSTRACT

Religious groups in Korea tend to face various difficulties for overseas relief activities. The cases of typhoon in Philippines (2013) and earthquake in Nepal (2015) are reviewed from the perspectives of governance, operation, and administrative support. Limited cooperation with communities and insufficient networking with international rescue organizations were identified as problems in governance, for which networking with international NGOs, utilization of local resources and a cluster approach were suggested. Short-term perspectives, misunderstanding of international standard and competitive attitudes were identified as problems in operation, for which local resilience, transparency and independence in donation and local understanding were suggested. Problems in administrative support include limited staff capacity, limited understanding of the expenses on international relief activities and complex decision-making process, which could be addressed by various human resource development, changes in donors’ attitude and a comprehensive approach.
