  7. Background of KOICA fellowship program • The KOICA fellowship program is one of KOICA’s main projects to support partner countries to secure human resources for their development. In 2012 Bangladesh was oriented to the fellowship program. Since then total 5 groups participated in KOICA’s multi-year competency enhancement fellowship program for ASD children in Bangladesh. • Objective: The primary objective of the fellowship program is to share Korea’s experience about important technical skills and knowledge as well as to build capacities for sustainable socio-economic development of the partner countries.

  8. Impact of such fellowship program Professionals from many organizations of different countries participating not only join but strengthen a co-operative network, promote the establishment of follow up projects and enjoy a general increase in overall status within international society. As implementation plans are tailored to the specific needs of the partner countries, this program help in spreading Korea’s development experience and systems for wider application while promoting diffusion at the local level.
