developing country, utilize the organizations’ independent and
spontaneous motivation and commitment to the development of the local
society as well as their insight, knowledge and experience on local
culture, customs, laws, regulations and practices.

Strategic Direction of the Program
|
○
The LCPP can be implemented in the following seven areas that are
composed of four areas in which we can deliver development services for
the local society and three areas in which we can create an enabling
environment to facilitate civil society’s activities in developing
countries:
|
Delivery of Development Services
|
Creation of an Enabling Environment
| |||||
|
Education
|
Public Health
|
Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries
|
Multi-
sector
|
Advocacy (women, marginalized groups, governance, environment, etc.)
|
Networks
(cooperation initiatives)
|
Capacity Building
(organizations)
|
* See the table in Appendix for the objectives that should be attained by the delivery of development services.
○
For greater efficiency and effectiveness, use a twin-track strategy to
provide support for marginalized groups, which constitutes a
multi-sectoral initiative that falls into the “delivery of
development services” category.
- (Track 1)
Develop a program which specifically targets marginalized groups as the
main beneficiaries with an aim to help them build the capability to
become more socially and economically independent (the “Multi-sector”
category above)
|
<Definition of Marginalized Groups>
ㅇInternational
society uses this term to refer to any group that is discriminated
against at multiple levels for a combination of reasons that include,
but are not limited to, their gender, physical and intellectual
capability, age, region and ethnicity. Typical examples include women
with disabilities and elderly people from ethnic minorities.
ㅇLCPP
classifies the projects that provide benefits to women, people with
disabilities, the elderly, ethnic minorities and street children (i.e.
those that fit into the definition above) into a separate theme called
“Support marginalized groups to become more socially and economically
independent .”

Implementation Principle of the Program
|
○
Work together with a civil partner to achieve a goal for development
cooperation which is aligned not just with the development cooperation
strategy of KOICA but also with the priorities of the recipient country.
The partner is not obligated to provide matching funds, but budgeting
its share within the project budget on a voluntary basis is allowable.
○
The program will be funded for a single year. Each organization can
receive up to KRW 100 mn in grant money. Depending on the result of the
performance evaluation conducted upon the completion of the
project, it can be extended to a maximum of seven years including the
first year.
- There are no limits on funded projects per partner. |

Civil partnership projects to provide humanitarian assistance,
emergency relief, early recovery, disaster risk reduction or aid for
refugees from a protracted disaster
-
Projects to develop an innovative appropriate technology based on
scientific knowledge or to produce creative values utilizing new
