Abstract
Drawing on its economic development history, South Korea has invested considerable
effort into improving higher education in developing countries to assist their economic
development. Although South Korea has increased its official development assistance (ODA)
to higher education through multi-bi channels over the last decade, there is a marked lack
of attention to this action. As this field is relatively new, this study aims to characterize
South Korea’s multi-bi ODA projects in higher education (2010-2019) using the co-word
analysis method. The results show that cooperation with multilateral organizations has
supplemented the existing weakness, at least regarding the objectives and contents of projects.
However, to mitigate the regional concentration and the fluctuation in the number of projects,
South Korea should make more effort to allocate ODA based on the recipient’s needs and
establish a consistent policy.
