In November 2020, the fully amended Framework Act on International Development Cooperation came into force. Since its first enactment in 2010, the Framework Act has functioned as a legal basis for the Korean ODA system, with this revision coming 10 years into its operation. The core contents of the revised Framework Act aim to further strengthen the authority and role of two major implementing ministries, that is, the MOFA and MOEF, and embassies in partner countries, centering on the Committee for International Development Cooperation (CIDC). It is hoped that Korea's ODA will truly grow in its effectiveness as the CIDC becomes an ultimate decision-making body in the planning and budgeting process. There are three points to be considered for this. First, the CIDC should not micromanage individual projects but focus on more comprehensive, national-level strategies such as the Strategic Plan and CPSs. Second, strategic evaluation must be performed, based not on the results of individual projects but on the outcomes and indicators developed for the strategies in advance. Third, global development agenda must be identified to present strategic directions. The CIDC needs to come up with a strategic direction for matters in which no ministry in charge has been specified, such as responding to COVID-19 in developing countries.
