AB - This study aims to explore the possibilities and challenges for seeking innovation in community development and educational changes through an in-depth analysis of how Korean Non-governmental Development Organization’s(NGDO) strike a balance.
By employing the revised framework of the 'Strategic Planning Flow of NGDO', based on Alan Fowler’s non-governmental development organizations' sustainability, partnership, and resourcing strategy, this research found the following results; (1) first, the NGDOs put efforts in ‘striking a balance’ through facilitated or negotiated conflicting priorities. NGDO in this case study has shown numerous strategic efforts on achieving harmony between development priorities at the global, national, and regional level and internal priorities within the organization. (2) second, the NGDOs can expand the significance of ‘localization strategy’ in various ways including developing multilingual and multiethnic educational contents and emphasizing the ownership of local staff, so that it takes a role as facilitator and field-based implementor (3) on the other hand, third, the NGDO was challenged to narrow the gap between the value-oriented change aspirations in their projects’ vision and goals that could be drawn from the field implementation.
In the long term, the study recommends to strengthen the clarity of theories of change pathways and change management as the NGDO’s strategy. Under the given the strong government driven development policy and project system in Korea, this change may start from going beyond government-NGDOs partnership toward establishing and including stronger local partnerships with thematic, field operation and technical/methodological expertise in the current Korean CSO-Government partnership system.
