In this study, Good-Neighbors Chad branch opened the <Chad local teacher capacity enhancement training> for the development of Chad education. Describe and analyze the process in which Korean teachers participate as instructors and deliver training korean contents. With the 2015 World Education Forum held in Korea as an opportunity, Korea's demands for international cooperation in education with Africa in various fields have increased even more. If Korean education can be used for projects in underdeveloped countries, it is expected that Korean education will greatly contribute to the educational development of many African countries. In the case of training on Korean education for local teachers, it is possible as a sustainable education ODA project rather than a one-time event. To this end, the ODA project in the African education field in Korea was reviewed, the educational environment in Chad was analyzed, and specific teacher training programs were presented. Through this, we will explore ways to disseminate Korean education in Africa. Good-Neighbors Chad branch invited Korean teachers for the development of Chad 's education and planned a training program for local teachers. The first trainings were fostering facilitation and cooperative learning programs. The second training program has trained project learning, understanding of curriculum, instructional planning, peer supervision and counseling techniques. The second training program has trained project learning, understanding of education curriculum, write teaching guide, peer supervision and counseling techniques. In the future, various forms of research and studies will be necessary to establish and activate the educational contents of Korea as a national policy.

This study examined the energy self-sufficiency level of transition towns (TTs), the strategic niche operation process, and the way niche influences regimes to understand the social innovation process of the informal sector. Specifically, it investigated the seven transition towns (TTs) in Seoul, which have continued their activities for at least a year following the end of government support. To this end, a case study was used. The results show that TT’s residents were maturing as energy transition agents, learning at various levels, and establishing a network with external actors. As a niche, the TTs were copied and expanded while pursuing the energy transition movement vision, and translation processes also appeared in some TTs. This study’s first implication is that TTs have become soil for the growth of energy actors. Second, the active local community influenced the existing regime as a niche. Third, providing follow-up support to maintain the community was a major task. Fourth, a system that can check energy consumption was required in the housing estate, such as apartment-type villages. Fifth, it was necessary to develop TTs as a model to promote energy transition in the local community.

Many developing countries have initiated significant information communication Technologies(ICT) projects including e-Government, e-commerce, e-Health, and other schemes that are to thrust ICT uptake within public and private sectors as well as paving the way toward achieving a knowledge society. Unlike developed countries, the penetration and deployment of ICT however, has not been as fast and effective in developing countries. Reportedly, most e-initiatives that have been implemented have either not met their intended objectives or lapsed halfway. The aim of this research is to assess e-Government development in Democratic Republic of Congo including its performance in global e-Government surveys, review some detrimental causes behind the poor e-service delivery ranking, and recommend solutions to improving future rankings. Interviews were conducted with a number of IT experts and government authorities in the sector. Besides, the literature to this topic is generalized and extended the scope of the findings insofar as it might also be insightful for other developing countries undergoing similar challenges.
