[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo In-ho] The Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) announced on the 14th that it will hold the ‘2021 Communication Love Week’ to revitalize overseas official development assistance (ODA) and facilitate communication among partners.
From the 14th to the 16th, KOICA plans to share achievements and explore future cooperation with various international development cooperation partners including public institutions, companies, civil society (NGOs), and academia. The event will be held online to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The event will begin with an opening address by KOICA President Son Hyuk-sang, followed by presentations of ODA projects and institutional improvement cases that reflect public opinions.
A sharing session on the return program, which supports social enterprise startups by young people who have worked in development cooperation fields such as returned volunteer workers, development cooperation interns, and Young Professionals (YP), will also be held.
KOICA will select and award five outstanding teams that participated in the program, contributed their development cooperation experience back to society, and helped solve domestic social issues, along with holding promotional events.
On the 15th, cases of achievements such as job creation for vulnerable groups, revitalization of the local economy, and environmental protection through collaboration with Seongnam City and public institutions will be introduced. The direction of projects carried out with external partners such as the Green Climate Fund (GCF) will also be presented.
On the 16th, a roundtable meeting will be held with President Son and partners from companies and civil society to explore suitable project directions for the post-COVID-19 era.
