Joining DAC of OECD
– Korea plans to triple its economic aid to poor countries around the world to 0.25 percent of gross national income (GNI) by 2015 to help achieve more balanced global economic growth.
– Korea's entry into the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) on Nov. 25, 2009 suggests Korea has joined the league of the world's wealthiest countries.
– Korea is the second Asian country after Japan to become a DAC member.
– The membership is expected to help it deepen economic partnerships with underdeveloped countries, which will emerge as Korea's major trade partners in the long term. By participating in various development programs in the countries, Korea can promote social and cultural exchanges as well.

– Korea will provide $100 million in food aid to countries suffering from food shortages and droughts in 2010-2012, while gradually increasing its assistance to underdeveloped nations.
– Korea hopes to help developing countries lift themselves out of famine and poverty, and to this end, share Korea’s past development experiences. While financial support is important, finding the right development model that befits each country can be a more fundamental way of overcoming poverty.
– Whether in the form of low-interest loans, grants-in-aid, or technical cooperation, ODA helps developing countries in moving forward.

Sharing Experience
– Korea is the only country that successfully turned into an industrialized country through receiving ODA.
– Korea should share its experiences. Developing countries are also seeking Korea's know-how in economic development, education and IT. Experts advise that this expertise could help set up a unique ODA model for the country.
– Simply giving out money could result in aid dependency of recipient countries, diminishing production incentives and failing to pull them out of poverty. In other words, ODA should be in harmony with the recipient country's development strategies.
