Study on Development of Performance Evaluation Model for Educational Development Cooperation Projects in Korea

The international community has emphasized significance of performance evaluation on development assistance activities in consecutive general assembly of development assistance by OECD/DAC through final documents including Rome Declaration on Harmonization(2003), Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness (2005), Accra Agenda for Action(2008), and Busan Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation (2011). Under the circumstances, there is an increasingly loud call for self-examination about quality improvement on performance evaluation beyond quantitative expansion in Korea as well. This study is carried out, at this point of time in particular, to develop performance evaluation model(PEM) for educational development cooperation projects, one of priority area in global development cooperation. The study starts from three major research questions: First, what are features of Korea's educational development cooperation in the aspect of performance evaluation. Second, what are domestic and foreign PEMs for educational development cooperation and implications deduced from them? And third, what is PEM to effectively reflect characteristics of Korea's educational development cooperation? In order to answer these questions, the research employs various methodologies and draw out the conclusion.
