Outline of Final Research Achievements

In comparing Asian bilateral donor agencies with Western agencies, it was found that agencies such as JICA or KOICA are more likely to follow the global EFA policy agenda, with Korea learning much from Japan, while China pursues its own separate policy agenda. Korea’s development as an ODA donor is modeled on that of Japan from the organization of KOICA to the approaches it takes to educational development. China in comparison is less involved in the education sector and chooses to focus its ODA on infrastructure projects. In terms of policy foundations, both Japan and Korea adhere largely to international standards of human rights-based approaches to development while China has been criticized for lacking transparency and not protecting the human rights of local peoples affected by its development and investment projects in developing countries.
