Background of Research Most of less developed countries(LDCs) consider agriculture as a main leverage to build their economies. Koreas strategy for ODA has been supportive to help LDCs goals and objectives as well as utilize it as a means of introducing Koreas agricultural business into the countries. However, there is no single unified policy nor strategy that can be shared with all the agencies of ODA in Korea. Thus, this study aims to suggest implications and application ways by conducting various studies on the cases of selected ODA organizations. Method of Research This study utilizes previous research articles and reports, statistic references, on-site surveys, and an invitational seminar that was held in the Philippines with the participation of World Bank, ADB, JICA, KOICA, and the Department of Agriculture, and they presented their strategies and procedures, and shared their experiences with Korea. From the seminar, information and other necessary documents were collected and used for the study. Research Results and Implications Since there is no single nor unified strategic document on ODA, each relevant organization has implemented its own project with a different scheme. As a result, the partner country is prone to misunderstand the Korean agricultural and rural ODA. Based on the implications from other related international organizations, it is recommended that a unified policy/strategy be established for the sector. Also, individual projects need to be coordinated to be implemented in a partner country. In addition, it is recommended that a wholesome initiative be established for different agencies. Finally, the study makes recommendations concerning the official procedure of project demand survey and approval, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of project, and feedback to draw problems and future directions from the past.
