Partnership Training Programs

Overview

Partnership training programs are conducted in partnership with the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), Asian Development Bank (ADB), and other governments. The GDI operates training programs and related field trips in accordance with a project plan managed by partner institutions. The programs are mainly for senior-level officials or diplomats from developing countries.

The programs consist of lectures provided by academic experts, discussion and presentation sessions to interact with other participants and share each participant's own ideas, and field trips to learn Korean examples by experience. Furthermore, we invite international academics and practitioners in response to the demands of participants.
