Research on Cooperation and Development of Education, Science and Technology

between Korea and Developing Countries in Africa

This research was carried out as a cooperative research project by the Korean Educational Development Institute (KEDI) with the support of the National Research Council for Economics, Humanities and Social Sciences (NRCS). It is the second year of research as part of a three year research program conducted from 2010 to 2012 under the title, 'Research on Cooperation and Development of Education, Science and Technology between Korea and Developing Countries in Africa.'

In the initial year of research, 2010, we had divided the Africa into five target regions which consist of Northern, Western, Eastern, Central and Southern African Region. Based on the regional sorting, one partner country from each region was selected. The second year of research in 2011 sought and provided mid-long term cooperative strategies with the Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA) as well as four sub-Saharan African countries. The third year of research, 2012, will suggest the module for education, science and technology cooperation with developing countries in Africa.

Based on the issues collected from the first year of research and needs analysis of Africa countries, the study is aimed to provide regional and mid-long term cooperative strategies for ADEA and each country including Nigeria, Ethiopia, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Tanzania. Also, it is intended to suggest a policy for our government to effectively pursue.
