Facilitating Official Development Assistance (ODA) of Vocational Education and Training through Public-Private Partnership (PPP) for the Realization of New Asia Community

The purpose of this study is to propose guidelines and policies to facilitate Official Development Assistance(ODA) through PPP in the field of Vocational Education and Training(VET) in Asia. More to the point, this study aims to propose a new model along with in-depth policies to facilitate previously government-led VET in ODA through PPP in which corporations and social partners could cooperate with each other, based on government supports. Since Asia encompasses the various regional features, the target area of the research is divided as South East Asia(ASEAN) and Central Asia. Among these groups, five countries in ASEAN(Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, the Philippines, and Laos) and 3 countries in Central Asia(Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Mongolia) are chosen as target countries. During the first year, a basic research on the 5 ASEAN countries was conducted. In the second year, the more in-depth research on the ASEAN countries and a basic research on Central Asian countries were conducted. In the third and final year, more extensive research was carried out on Central Asian countries keeping with conforming with ASEAN. This report is the part of the third year study, which aims to prepare a comprehensive report aggregating implications of three-year study by using the methods as follows: analyses of academic background of PPP, cases of major donor countries, Korean cases of VET in ODA using PPP and the surveys on corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities of Korean corporations in the target countries. Through this process, the following policy strategies in ODA are provided to facilitate ODA pertaining to VET in Asia. ..
